General consensus is that district 8-5A is one of the toughest and most competitive districts in TX. General consensus is also that Collin County is a state powerhouse across all classifications. However this year is starting to be a monumental whiff for this area. All 4 teams from 8-5A are gone: Allen, FM Marcus, Hebron, and Plano East all dropped by round 2. Lovejoy out in 3A, Prosper out in 3A, McKinney Boyd out in 5A. Carrying the banner for Collin County is Celina in 3A and Frisco Centenial in 4A. By the way, Frisco is starting to become a player in the 4A districts. As those schools start to mature a little, they are building some nice programs in several sports.
As a recap to the Trinity/Allen "showdown", it is the first time I've attended an Allen game since 2005 that they were truly knocked around and weren't on a higher or level par with the competition. The score was hardly indicative of the way Trinity dominated. I could see it coming with the way they played in the 2nd half of the season. A team with 18 returning starters ended up being a worse team than they were the previous year. Very hard to explain. Next year they start over in-mass and I've been told that the JV team was awful. Not a good way to open a $60mm stadium.
