GEORGETOWN (AP) -- Tim Williams' goal put Plano ahead late in the first half and the Wildcats won a record sixth boys state soccer championship Saturday night, beating Brownsville Lopez 3-1 for the Class 5A title.

Plano (25-3-5) fell behind when Jorge Cantu scored for Brownsville Lopez 12 minutes into the match, but the Wildcats answered a minute later on a goal from Joe Denton.
