PRINCETON -- Pilot Point kept its district 9-3A playoff hopes alive with a second half surge past Princeton, 20-3. Pilot Point (6-3, 4-2) faces Frisco Wakeland (8-1, 5-1) next week in another must-win game for Pilot Point.

Pilot Point put the game away in the fourth quarter on Johnson's 20-yard touchdown run, set up by a fumble recovery on the Princeton 23-yard line.

Stuart Tilley led all rushers with 120 yards on 10 carries. Brandon Paige caught three passes for 64 yards for Pilot Point.
