53 Points and a Win

On January 14th I witnessed a high school junior, David Allen of Highland Park put up 53 points to help his team, The Scots beat McKinney Lions 87-79. It took three overtimes and some breaks for Allen to work out some leg cramps but when the time finally ran out and the score wasn't tied finally, David Allen couldn't help but smile as his teammates, opposing coaches and fellow students congratulated him. It was a team effort to get the win and to keep playing despite missing players home with the flu, one player who had just recovered from a stomach bug and flat out exhausted players on both sides of the ball but it was worth it. Allen put up 18 points during overtime but still 53 points is something to stop and take notice of. Congratulations to the Scots for a hard fought victory.
