The time has finally arrived, it is basketball season in Allen. The teams hit the ground running with home games on Monday and Tuesday plus another home game slated for Friday.

The Lady Mustangs opened the season with Calvin and game out with the 65-44 win. It took a full half before the Lady Mustangs were able to put Calvin away. “We were happy to start the season with a win, Calvin is a good team, but we came out after the half and played good defense plus added 21 points in the third quarter, so you can’t complain about that” Coach Slabaugh. Kaylee Davis led the team in scoring with 15 while Cherish Woodward grabbed 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block; Stoney Cully had 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 7 steals Allen
