The Allen girls have been locked in the gym patiently waiting for the season to start. On Monday they used all that pent up anxiety and unleashed a 74-20 win over the Ladies from Calvin.

“We’ve spent the last month or so just practicing and occassionaly scrimmaging, so I could tell they were ready to get the season going”, said Coach Dottie Slabaugh. “I can’t say enough about our Seniors, they have been great leaders for our younger kids in the preseason and in turn our younger girls have really worked hard.”

It was a opening game for Allen, everyone saw action with Allen players scoring: Sells 25; Harris 21; Macyee Davis 3, Ava Laden 3, Alexis Slabaugh 4; Cheyenne McCarn 2; Maebrey Wallace; Maggie Yarbrough 8, Emma Peay 4; Taylor Harrison 2.

In the Allen boys game, the Mustang men couldn’t shake off the cobwebs and fell hard to Calvin 60-26.

“We struggled in almost every aspect of the game,” said Coach Greg Mills. “The effort was there but we just couldn’t get anything going. But we will get things figured out.” The Mustangs were without 4 year starter Chad Milne for the games due to a football hamstring injury.
