Allen Eagles
Head Coach: Clark Cipoletta
District 6-6A
The Allen Eagles have been a mainstay in the playoffs for the past 20 years. A program of consistency.
Last year ended in the Regional Quarterfinals and with a record of 32-6.
Now, in 2024-25, under the guidance of fourth-year coach Clark Cipoletta (234-108 in 10 years as head coach), these Eagles that return four starters to the floor look to make a deep run.
Defensive MVP Nehemiah Lawrence and first-team, all-district picks DeAndre Thomas (11 ppg) and Trent Pane (15 ppg) will lead the charge for Allen. Thomas is verbally committed to the University of North Texas.
Another player to watch is second-team, all-district pick Antione Shannon, who averaged eight points per game. Other players to watch include Antonio Shannon, Isaiah Dozer and Nnamdi Ubawike, who are all garnering college interest.
Keys to success for Cipoletta’s team include playing fast, being disruptive on defense and playing together.
