Some people have taken to feeding wildlife and as a result, they become accustomed to people and will be regular visitors. Animal control recommends eliminating the attractions, like water or food left out for your pets. They ask us to remember that they were here first and to keep our distance.

We were honored to have our YouPlusDallas highlight reel of the final game in the old Allen Eagle Stadium against Flower Mound presented at the banquet.  Allen won the game 59-30 and seeing the fans, players, band and cheerleaders in the video that night made the last game a very special night and great memory for all.
