The Eagles, led by four more touchdown passes from senior quarterback Alec Morris, overwhelmed previously-unbeaten Plano (Texas) 44-7.

Morris' two first-half touchdown passes and a Jonathan Williams touchdown run gave Allen a 20-0 lead, as the Eagles defense continued its dominating ways.

The Eagles tacked on a 27-yard field goal to make it 23-0 at half.

It was Morris once again who sparked the Eagles at the start of the third quarter. The Alabama commit completed a 45-yard touchdown pass to his favorite target Andrew Rodriguez giving Allen a 30-0 lead.

Another touchdown pass from Morris to Rodriguez and a touchdown run by back up running back Jeff Harris closed the scoring for Allen.

A fumble recovery for a touchdown by Xavier Harbert accounted for Plano's only points.
