This game is on a Friday night, so I could go... I just don't know if I will or not. Records say that the Eagles are better...
State 5A poll says that the Allen Eagles are ranked #5 in the state. And this is a big state.
Area 5A has the Allen Eagles ranked #2 behind Euless Trinity. I used to live in Euless. Anyway... the Warriors lost three games this season. One was to Cedar Hill (ranked #12), another was to Richardson Berkner (now unranked), and the third was to Duncanville (ranked #19). SGP has a tough time with teams that are ranked in the top twenty. So, with a team that is ranked two in the area and 5th in the state AND ranked #19 in the Nation... well, do my Warriors have a chance? Yes, but they have to play mistake free for the entirety of the game. And even if they do that, they will still likely lose.

The Warriors played a similar calibre game in the Playoffs against Trinity either last year or the one prior to that and played well. The school is starting to get used to high talent games... and if they let the pressure slide off them like water on a duck's back, then they could provide the upset. They haven't done it this season... but now would be a good time to start.
