Allen firing on all cylinders in bi-district shutout of Hebron
ALLEN – The Allen football team navigated its District 6-6A schedule with seven wins by an average of 53.1 points, and the No. 2-ranked team in Class 6A didn’t break that stride while ringing in the playoffs on Thursday. The Eagles played all the greatest hits from their unblemished regular season, from finding the end zone on each of their six first-half possessions to generating multiple non-offensive touchdowns to fuel a 73-0 rout of Hebron in the 6A Division I bi-district round from Eagle Stadium. “The coaches do such a great job of preparing them, and these kids have been so consistent going all the way back to January with the way they work,” said Lee Wiginton, Allen head coach. “Even going back to boot camp, there was never a time when they accomplished something and took a step back. It’s always clearing one hurdle and getting ready for the next one because they’re so driven and they’re so competitive.” Games like Thursday have scoured the nationally ranked Eagles’ 2026 campaign, which has featured four games with at least 49 points scored by halftime and five outings with a first-half defensive shutout. Allen checked both boxes on Thursday, amassing a

Fourth-quarter comeback sees Celina score 21 straight, stun Lovejoy for bi-district win
LOVEJOY--- After finishing the regular season 9-1, the Lovejoy football team secured home-field advantage at Leopard Stadium to open the postseason against Celina. Lovejoy was able to secure and extend its lead throughout the contest until the script got flipped in the fourth quarter where Celina scored 21 straight to secure a 28-20 comeback victory. A constant force from start to finish, senior running back Evan Koehne carried the ball 33 times for 142 yards and a pair of touchdowns with both scores coming in the pivotal final frame. “It feels great. We worked a really long time for this,” said Koehne. “It was really important to us, it was a really good team and we were excited to go out there and beat them. “Being able to trust the defense is obviously great, to know that in the back of your mind they will always be there for us.” Although Celina (8-3) secured the comeback, the outlook was dreary throughout. Perhaps the most daunting moment, Lovejoy (9-2) was forced to punt but recovered a loose, live ball late in the third quarter. Junior Leopard quarterback Nixon Slaughter instantly found junior Luke Gahan with space for a 23-yard touchdown, pushing
