They took  a  64-55 hit to the loss column at the hands of the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/tx\/allen\/allen-eagles\/basketball\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Allen Eagles<\/a>. The Wildcats lost against the Eagles in their previous head to head  back in February of 2025, too, but the margin this time around was much closer than the  97-56 score last time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:2\"> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/tx\/allen\/allen-eagles\/athletes\/brandon-ellerbee\/?careerid=rk2hbvsm43611\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Brandon Ellerbee<\/a> was the offensive standout of the  matchup as he  shot 86% from the field to rack up 13  points and seven  boards. The team also got some help courtesy of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/tx\/allen\/allen-eagles\/athletes\/bennett-mosley\/?careerid=jse112h7b8933\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Bennett Mosley<\/a>, who  posted eight points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:3\">Plano&#8217;s loss dropped their record down to 17-7. As for Allen, they are  on a roll lately: they&#8217;ve  won nine of their last ten contests. That&#8217;s provided a nice bump to their 15-4 record  this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:4\"> Plano will challenge Princeton at 7:00  p.m.  on Tuesday. As for Allen, they will face off against McKinney at 7:00  p.m.  on Tuesday. The Eagles will be up against the Lions&#8217; rather soft defense (which has allowed 56.3  points per  game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.<\/p>\n<p>Article generated by <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/infosentience.com\/\">infoSentience<\/a> based on data entered on MaxPreps<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Plano was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":127648,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[160,162,161],"class_list":{"0":"post-127647","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-plano","8":"tag-plano","9":"tag-plano-headlines","10":"tag-plano-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127647","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=127647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127647\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/127648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=127647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=127647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=127647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
