The Fighting Farmers would get on the board just before halftime with a field goal make, sending the teams into intermission with Allen up 14-3.

Lewisville pulled to within 14-9 when Derrick Martin III lobbed a 3-yard touchdown pass to Xavier Fleming midway through the third quarter. Early in the final period, the Fighting Farmers took their first lead of the game, coming off a Allen turnover when quarterback Tre Williams found Traejan Mueller on a 21-yard touchdown pass.

With less than four minutes left in the ball game, the Eagles took the lead back for good when Lyndon Spriggs scored on a short scoring run and a converted 2-point try afterwards gave Allen a 22-15 lead that wouldn’t relinquish.
