His favorite memory of football was after beating Stroud and in the locker room when it sounded like Shawn said “We beat both the Eagles”, but what he really said was “We beat both the evils.”

Lawrence Matteri, grandson of Pheobe Williams and the son of Jennifer Matteri. He has attended Allen Schools for nine years and has been a cheerleader for the past two years. His favorite memory of cheer was last year at the end of one of the practices. They were putting up the mats which involves pulling up Velcro straps—people from each end were pulling toward the middle and Alyssa’s hair got caught in the Velcro. She didn’t tell anyone and we kept rolling the mats.

Zoey McDonald, daughter of Jana McDonald. She has attended Allen Schools for ten years. Zoey has been a member of the cheer team for all four years of high school. Her most memorable moment was making the All-American Team and getting to go to London, England with a couple of her fellow cheerleaders and making so many memories.

Kylan Sanders, son of Greg and Sue Sanders. He has attended Allen since Pre-K. Kylan wears #63 and plays right guard for the Mustangs. His favorite memory was when he trucked Trent during the Stratford game as they ran for a touchdown.

Clayton Shackelford, son of Christina Keenan. He has attended Allen since 1st grade. He plays left tackle and defensive tackle for the Mustangs and wears the #69. His favorite memory is when Jack Todd got fire ants all over his legs and jumped into a water puddle in the middle of practice.

Josh Slater, son of Donna Slater and Bryon Slater. He has attended Allen Schools for four years. Josh is a running back and inside linebacker for the Mustangs and wears the #23. His favorite memory in football is the fact that Coach Green always called me by my name and never by my nickname “Nacho.”

Jaden Wilson, daughter of Candice and Jimmy Wilson. She has attended Allen Schools since Pre-K. Jaden has been a member of the cheer team for three years. Her favorite memory of cheer was her mom becoming the “cheer coach” for her senior year.

Thanks go to all of these seniors, their parents and our community for supporting Mustang football and the cheerleading programs.
