Allen, Lake Highlands Set for Friday Night Clash as Eagles Protect Perfect Season

A spotless record and a ticket to the next round hang in the balance Friday night when Allen meets Lake Highlands at 7:00 p.m. The Eagles arrive unbeaten and flying high after surviving a tense playoff battle, while the Wildcats bring momentum of their own into a matchup that could turn explosive.

Allen Heating Up at the Right Time

The Eagles are coming off a gritty 22 to 15 win over Lewisville, a game that demanded patience and poise deep into the fourth quarter. Quarterback Jeremiah Daoud was once again the driving force behind the offense, delivering 240 passing yards and a touchdown while adding another score with his legs. His 43 rushing yards kept key drives alive, and his chemistry with standout receiver Carter Harris continued to shine. Harris finished with 122 receiving yards, stretching the field and winning crucial one on one matchups.

The victory pushed Allen to 11 and 0, strengthening their reputation as one of the toughest teams in the state.

Wildcats Carry Momentum Into the Showdown

Lake Highlands earned its own dramatic win last week, outlasting South Grand Prairie in a 43 to 36 shootout. The Wildcats have now taken three straight meetings from the Warriors, and their offense continues to find ways to put pressure on opposing defenses. At 9 and 2, Lake Highlands enters this one riding confidence and rhythm.

A Familiar Opponent Awaits

These teams share history, with Allen claiming a 49 to 24 win in their last encounter back in 2021. The Eagles controlled that matchup from start to finish, but this year’s version of Lake Highlands brings more maturity and a sharper offensive identity.

Friday night offers the Wildcats a chance at payback and gives Allen another opportunity to prove its perfect record is no accident.

Kickoff is set, the stakes are rising, and both squads appear ready to add another chapter to a growing rivalry.
