The more I replay the game in my head, read the boxscore, and all the various news outlets, the more it hurts. Can you imagine 9 possessions inside the SL 30 and only 3 scores, including a miracle throw/catch? 539 yards on 81 offensive plays, almost 7 yards per play; 364 rushing yards, 27 first downs. They had 3 TD's, 2 missed field goals, 1 punt, 2 failed 4th down conversions, and 1 clock expiration (halftime).
The one thing I keep going over is, if you have the perfect setting to grab the game, go for 2 points when the opponent cannot get the ball back, wouldn't you have 1 play in mind? Running Matt Brown has always worked for him I suppose, but everyone knew it was coming. Southlake had more balance, 75 plays, 38 passes, 37 runs. Allen bottled up the run game, only 3.5 yds/carry, but they were efficient passing; 26 of 38.
Ultimately Allen needs to be a little better throwing the ball. Westerberg always has the massive O-line to control the game and he falls back on that, I guess justifiably so. But, they need some go-to pass plays when they play the tougher opponents. We'll see what the JV team has in store for us at QB next year. At the end of the day, the Allen program looks to be in it for the long haul.

I can only comment on the radio broadcast.
It sounded like what the box score indicated.
Allen was moving at will and should have won the game. Southlake just doesn't quit.
I am still shocked that Desoto went down. Cedar Hill is vulnerable.
