As far as heavyweights go in the Dallas area, Allen is positioning itself as one of the most complete rosters in Texas. More than the Eagles’ 25-2 record, it’s the caliber of opponents they’ve taken down that commands attention — including Byron Nelson, Hebron, Flower Mound, Mansfield, Plano East, Prestonwood Christian Academy, and Seven Lakes.
Two-time defending state champion Byron Nelson (20-3) is on a mission for the elusive three-peat, a feat last achieved in Class 6A by Hebron from 2015-17. The Hawks, coincidentally, are on a tear of their own, sitting at 23-6 after winning 19 of their last 20 matches entering district play.
Wylie (22-4) has taken its game to another level, while McKinney Boyd (19-5) has emerged as one of the fall’s more welcome surprises. Flower Mound (15-6) and Duncanville (26-4) remain firmly in the mix, with Plano West, Mansfield, North Forney, Lake Ridge, and Heath close behind.
Meanwhile, Eagle Mountain has shown no signs of regression after moving up to Class 5A, boasting a 24-5 record after capturing last year’s 4A Division II title. Argyle (23-5) remains as commanding as ever, while Reedy (16-6) continues to climb into the forefront.
The tournament slate is in the rearview — now, it’s time to see who separates themselves when the stakes rise.
