After a quick appearance in the playoffs last season, the Allen Eagles are back in action and looking to take down anyone who comes in the way of their ability to reach their goals. VYPE DFW takes a look at the team:
REWIND
Last season Allen posted a 28-8 overall record (13-1 in district play) and finished their regular season at the top of their district standings. Defeating the likes of V.R. Eaton, Katy Tompkins, Pearland, McKinney, Denton Guyer, Prosper, Prosper Rock Hill, Denton Braswell, and more, the team made swift efforts to enter the playoffs. Despite a first-round loss to Hebron, the team showcased talent and looked toward an offseason full of strengthening their skills as well as their bonds with each other on and off the court.
This Season So Far
Beginning their season with a 17-4 record in non-district play, the Eagles have continued to play incredibly each time they step foot onto the hardwood. Defeating the likes of Manvel (66-50), Cypress Creek (91-52), Dawson (64-44), Hebron (67-64), Richardson (83-67), and more throughout non-district play, Allen has proven their ability to look beyond what others say and put their skills to work.
Led by Aric Walls, Trent Pane, Nnamdi Ubawike, Malachi Drake, Kaiden Myers, Samuel Laeky, Isaiah Dozier, Gabe Jones, Antoine Shannon, and others, the team has already began district play with two strong victories-- over McKinney Boyd (78-53) and McKinney (60-53). As the team prepares for Denton Guyer on Friday, fans can expect the Eagles to continue showcasing their talent and getting ahead of the competition. Be sure to catch them in action as they hunt for a deeper playoff run this season.
