By Stephen Spiewak Jun 5, 2014, 12:00am

The Eagles, No. 2 in the MaxPreps preseason high school football rankings, are aiming for a three-peat in 2014.




2013 finish: 16-0; Class 5A-I state champion

Points per game: 50.4

Points allowed: 18.6



No. of returning starters (offense): 6

No. of returning starters (defense): 1

Head coach: Tom Westerberg

Career record: 118-16

Assistant coaches:
Jeff Fleener (Offensive Coordinator)
Cory Cain (Defensive Coordinator)
J.D. Walker
Mike Carter
Dean Garza
Ty Henderson
Scott Stewart
Jon Cockroft
Chris Moseley
Royce Reynolds

Outlook:
Allen has the nation's best high school football player, Kyler Murray, along with five other returning offensive starters. Once the 10 new starters on defense prove themselves, few teams have any chance to stop the Eagles' quest for a third consecutive state title.
