This week, Allen (3-2) faces off against Winside (2-3) on Friday. Winside will be looking to take advantage of a struggling Allen defense that has allowed an average of 32.4 points per game.
Allen is still above.500 but has been slipping the past two games. It suffered a painful 48 - 22 defeat to Randolph last week. The team got a solid performance out of junior Kyle Smith (he ran for 64 yards and also punched in two touchdowns); unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the win. Smith has been a consistent playmaker for Allen as this was the 5th good game in a row from him.
As for Winside, it had a lot of difficulties with Emerson-Hubbard last game and took a hard 36 - 14 hit. The game was close at halftime with a score of 6 - 0, but Winside simply couldn't keep up in the second half.
The last time they met, Allen was the 37 - 6 victor. It was able to move the ball a lot more (398 yards compared to 146 yards), a gap Winside will be looking to close this time around. Can Allen repeat its success? We'll find out this Friday.
