Thank you again and have a good night!

Thank you to all who have followed our live blog tonight from Clark Stadium, where Allen has defeated Plano Senior by a 42-3 score. 

A game dominated from start-to-finish by the Eagles, there was no other result on the cards tonight at Clark Stadium. QB Kyler Murray of Allen is truly a special talent, the Plano defense was unable to cope with his mobility, and that combined with a sluggish offense was the death of Plano Senior tonight.

FINAL SCORE: PLANO SENIOR 3   ALLEN 42

Allen runs a few more plays out of necessity, and a final kneel down by the backup QB Harvey caps it.

TIMEOUT PLANO SENIOR (1:54 remaining)

Lopaka Yoro is left to assume the ground duties for the remiander of the game, still giving it his all with a 7 yard gain to put Plano at a 4th & 1.

RB Bobby Gray appears to have injured his arm for Plano, this could spell even more trouble for the Wildcats.

Everything going Allen’s way tonight, as the punt rolls out of bounds at Plano’s own 5 yard line.

The ambitious Eagles continue to through the ball, with Harvey overshooting his target and forcing a rare Allen punt.

That’s the night for Allen QB Kyler Murray, he leaves the game after a splendid aerial and speed display. In comes his backup, Jared Harvey.

Plano to punt on 4th & 1, this game is far too out of reach for a comeback. Jaylen Sharpe with the superb diving grab on the punt catch for the Eagles.

TE Sam Tecklenburg records his first catch of the night, but its a yard shy of the first down marker.

Plano continue to utilize the wildcat formation, to no great effect though as Brandon Stephens only gets 4 yards.

42-3 Allen with 9:16 left, mercifully for Plano.

Short TD pass from Murray to Kerry Hall is lathering the icing on the cake for the Eagles now.

And what do you know it, Allen scores again.

Plano’s offense still in no hurry though, as they are still taking their time before each play without utilizing the hurry up offense.
