Though it's been passed up in the national rankings by several other schools in the Lone Star State, Skyline still has the horses to go the distance. Last week, it fought off a comeback attempt from Westfield to win 38-33. The quarterback-receiver combination of
Devante Kincade and
Ra'Shaad Samples remains one of the nation's finest. Their quick-strike ability makes them hard to ever count out.

Xcellent 25. In addition to a season-opening victory over Carroll, Allen also boasts impressive victories over Cedar Hill, Mesquite, and most recently, Round Rock Westwood, a 56-24 win last Saturday. In that game, Allen scored a whopping 42 points in the second quarter. Senior
Oliver Pierce is the team's go-to weapon on offense, while sophomore
Kyler Murray has emerged at quarterback. Special teams will be an advantage for Allen, with kicker
Carlos Arochi and All-American punter
Shane Tripucka.
