Eagles carry a perfect regular season into a Thursday bi-district home game with Lewisville Hebron

Allen's playoff run starts at home, and a day earlier than most.

The Eagles (10-0) and Lewisville Hebron (5-5) kick off the Class 6A Division I Region I bi-district round on Thursday, Nov. 12, with a 7 p.m. start at Eagle Stadium. The pairing comes from the AP playoff list that Texas Football magazine puts together each year, as published by NBC 5.

Most of the other Region I games in that bracket are set for Friday night.

Allen closed the regular season Thursday, Nov. 5, with a 62-7 home win over Prosper Walnut Grove, finishing 7-0 in District 6A-6, High School On SI reported. The Eagles led 42-0 at halftime, piled up 402 yards and scored touchdowns on offense, defense and special teams, according to the report.

Allen went into the game ranked No. 1 in the state in that outlet's Top 25 poll.

Hebron comes in at .500 after a 10-game regular season.

Others from the area in the same bracket

Several nearby schools landed in the same Region I half of the 6A Division I bracket, the schedule shows:

• Prosper (9-1) at Lewisville (7-3), 7 p.m. Friday at Goldsmith Stadium
• Plano East (6-4) against Euless Trinity (9-1), 7:30 p.m. Friday at Bedford's Pennington Field
• Arlington Martin (10-0) against Northwest Nelson (6-4), 7 p.m. Friday at Glaspie Field

Allen's season ended a step short of the state final last year. The Eagles knocked off defending 6A champion North Crowley last December before falling to Duncanville in the round that decided a spot in the 6A Division I title game, according to Sports Illustrated's High School On SI coverage at the time.

Ticket details for Thursday's game had not been posted on any public page we could reach as of Sunday morning.
