Allen<\/a>, coming off a 14-1 season, will open spring football on March 31.<\/p>\n

The team will practice from 6:30 a.m. to 8 a.m., except for two evening practices. Those are on Tuesday, April 7 and Wednesday, April 22.<\/p>\n

The annual spring game will be at 6:45 p.m., on Thursday, April 30, at Eagle Stadium.<\/p>\n

The practice dates are April 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 13, 15, 16, 21, 22 23, 23, 24, 27 and 28.<\/p>\n

The lone Friday in that batch is April 24.<\/p>\n

Spring ball will give a chance for some new starters to step up. All six of the Eagles honored on the Texas Sports Writers Association\u2019s All-State team<\/a> graduated: defensive back Lebron Bauer,\u00a0 defensive linemen Devin Palmer and Josh Shaw, linebacker Ja\u2019Prei Wafer, punter Ethan Nava and kick returner\/wide receiver Caleb Smith.<\/p>\n

Looking back<\/p>\n

The Eagles were one of the top-ranked teams throughout the year in 6A. The only blemish was a semifinal loss to Duncanville, 31-9, in the state semifinals.<\/p>\n

During the past two years, Lee Wiginton\u2019s team has posted a 27-2 mark.<\/p>\n

The offense finished with 4,008 yards passing and<\/p>\n

2,672 yards on the ground \u2014 good for averages of 267.2 and 178.1 per game, respectively.<\/p>\n

The defense gave up 11.4 points per game. The Eagles had four shutouts and allowed a touchdown or less in two other games.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead<\/p>\n

Allen is in District 6-6A for the next two years. They are in the same district as Dallas Jesuit, McKinney, McKinney Boyd, Princeton, Prosper, Prosper Rock Hill and Prosper Walnut Grove.<\/p>\n

There are some new teams there, like Dallas Jesuit and Prosper Walnut Grove, up from Class 5A Division 2.<\/p>\n

Plano East and Plano are gone from last year\u2019s district foes.<\/p>\n

2026 Schedule<\/p>\n

The Eagles have one of the toughest non-district schedules in the state and when district play starts, it\u2019s a tough matchup.<\/p>\n

The season starts on August 28, hosting Duncanville in a semifinal rematch.<\/p>\n

Week 2, DeSoto visits Eagle Stadium on Sept. 4. DeSoto won the Class 6A Division 2 championship. <\/p>\n

The first road trip? It\u2019s to Southlake to face the Carroll Dragons on Sept. 11. Carroll reached the Class 6A Division 2 semifinals, falling to DeSoto. <\/p>\n

After that gauntlet, Allen travels to Prosper on Sept. 16 for a rematch of an instant classic last year Allen won 31-30<\/a>.<\/p>\n
