On Friday night the Allen Eagles traveled to Prosper ISD stadium to take on the Prosper Eagles in a district matchup.
Allen Eagles
Brady Bricker had a career-high night for completions as he completed 22 of 34 passes for 269 yards and 2 touchdowns. Bricker connected with receivers Donnell Gee, who had 5 catches for 100 yards, Messiah Washington, who caught 4 passes for 80 yards and a touchdown, Caleb Smith, who had 7 catches for 49 yards and a touchdown, and Quinton House-Hammonds, whose 3 receptions netted him 21 yards.
Allen also moved the ball on the ground effectively as Amir McDowell rushed for 60 yards on 10 carries, and Micah Ellis rushed for 145 yards on 17 carries, including a 75-yard touchdown run.
Prosper Eagles
Quarterback Nathan TenBarge completed 10 of 19 passes for 187 yards and rushed for 21 yards and a touchdown. TenBarge connected through the air with Javan Henry 3 times for 87 yards and a touchdown, Lathan Latiolais 2 times for 24 yards and a touchdown, and Austin Hailey, who had a total of 49 yards on 3 receptions. Prosper’s ground game did the job when needed, Leo Anguiano rushed for 58 yards on 15 carries scoring once, and Josh Martinez rushed for 19 yards on 10 carries.
The game for Allen again came down to the final plays. With time left on the clock, Allen was driving as the Prosper defense came up with a big stop on a 4th down pass play. Allen had one more chance, but Prosper’s defensive line ended the night with a huge sack, sealing the game. Prosper edges out Allen 37-36.
Next week Allen will return home to play Little Elm in their final district game of the season as they prepare for the playoffs. Prosper will travel to McKinney ISD stadium to play their final district game against McKinney, who is coming off a big win against Denton Guyer.
