Allen Eagles have a home, again
 
The Allen Eagles are beginning their quest for a fourth straight title.
Two weeks ago, the team began practicing in their $59 million stadium that was shut down last year for repairs.

Home games were played in Plano instead.

Allen will play more home games than usual this season as a result, eight instead of the standard five or six.

The school is on a 43-game winning streak, which has earned them three consecutive state titles and one national championship.

The season opener will be Friday, August 28 against Denton Guyer at Eagle Stadium.

Matt, this one snuck up on me. lol  I was browsing the DMN and saw that a couple of games would be played this week. Almost spewed my coffee.

Wasn't a lot to talk about in this version as everything's just getting started. I'll be serving up these previews on Wednesdays from here on as games are often played on Thursday nights these days.

 

[streettopeschel]

They're playing games at 9am ?? These are real games and not scrimmages?

 

[Mike Roach]

These are scrimmages. Season starts next week. I'm standing on the field at Bowie now to see Tope Imade vs Anthony Hines and Plano East

 

[J.B. TexasEx]

They're just scrimmages until next Thursday night

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Maxpreps had those two listed as games. My bad if not true.

 

[Mike Roach]

Maxpreps also got me with this trick.  I was all ready to cover game 1 when a couple of weeks ago I realized it was scrimmage week.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Ok, so we'll just call this edition a practice run. lol

 

[Mike Roach]

Ok, so we'll just call this edition a practice run. lol

We all need a scrimmage to get re-acclimated

Are you not going to the Longview Lobos vs Lufkin Panthers shootout? That's usually one of the best games of the year.

Camas Papermakers?

Cool! I love teams with unique mascots and nicknames.

 

[Principal]

Joeywa has a son who plays football and I have a grand daughter who plays volleyball for Colville.

They are both good athletes for their schools.

Camas Papermakers?

Cool! I love teams with unique mascots and nicknames.

WORST mascot EVER.  This town was built around a paper mill.  Georgia Pacific now owns it.  They have been a huge supporter of the team for a long time, hence the mascot. 

Here is our mascot, Mean Machine.

Awful.  Just awful.
