Allen Opens Playoffs in Commanding Fashion, Cruises Past Lake Highlands

Allen walked into Friday night’s playoff opener with the confidence of an unbeaten giant, and by the end of four quarters, the Eagles had delivered another emphatic reminder of why their season has felt like a weekly highlight reel. A 41 to 7 dismantling of Lake Highlands sent them soaring into the next round with their perfect record still intact.

Daoud Directs the Charge

Jeremiah Daoud wasted no time taking control. The senior quarterback sliced through the Wildcats’ defense with equal ease through the air and on the ground, rushing for sixty one yards and a score while completing efficient strikes that totaled 208 passing yards and a touchdown. Every time Allen needed a spark, Daoud provided it, guiding an attack that moved with rhythm from the opening possession.

Carter Harris added another wrinkle that Lake Highlands struggled to solve. Whether motioning out wide, catching underneath routes or slipping into open space, Harris turned his touches into eighty three productive yards and consistently forced the defense to adjust.

A Season of Dominance Rolls On

The result pushed Allen to twelve wins without a blemish, continuing a stretch in which the Eagles have averaged nearly fifty points per game. Their offense has worn down opponent after opponent, and Friday’s playoff stage did nothing to slow them down.

A Bigger Test Awaits

Lake Highlands slipped to nine and three, unable to keep pace with the precision and firepower in front of them. Allen now looks ahead to a highly anticipated matchup with Permian on Saturday evening. The Panthers arrive with an offense that has cracked thirty one points in eight straight outings, setting the stage for a high speed showdown between two programs built for postseason pressure.

If Allen keeps firing the way it has all year, the next round could be another night where the scoreboard barely gets a chance to rest.
