Allen got off to a fast start that allowed the Warriors to get out to a 20-3 lead to open the game. A tough guard to defend on the ball, Allen can get to the paint with his shiftiness. Allen can use a hesitation move, in and out or spin to get past his defender. I thought Allen did a nice job using the floater as a shot to avoid bigger rim protectors when he beat the primary defender. In the fourth quarter with Fairview hanging on to a small lead, Allen helped ice the game with free throws to bring the Warriors record to 5-1 heading into the new year.

have been big reasons why the Warriors program won their first ever district championship for basketball last year and now have the Warriors sitting at 5-3 on the gridiron. Allen has a handful of interceptions and Lowry is the quarterback who just broke the Fairview record for career passing yards and touchdowns as just a Junior. The best part about the Allen and Lowry connection? There’s still two more seasons to watch them on the hardwood and two more potential playoff pushes on the gridiron left in their Warrior careers.

are key building blocks for the Warriors program that has continued to rise under the leadership of Head Coach Ryan Barry. With Luke Howes gearing up for another season at Slippery Rock, Allen could be the next in line to play college basketball at the scholarship level with continued development in the gym and in the weight room.

Fairview won their first district title in school history and Allen played a big part. Despite Cuyahoga Heights sitting in a zone the entire game, Allen was able to use the dribble drive game to get into the lane and make acrobatic layups or find cutters for layups. Shifty with the ball in his hands, Allen’s highlight was a buzzer-beating pull-up to go into halftime with momentum. If Allen grows a couple inches he’ll be even tougher to stop when he gets downhill, he already shows soft touch on floaters and other shots from the 5–10-foot range of the court.
