The Allen men didn’t have their top scorer when they headed into overtime Wednesday night versus Pratt but some freshman heroics and strong defense rendered all of that moot as the Red Devils marched on to an 89-84 win over the Beavers.

Allen moves to 9-1 and 1-0 in Jayhawk Conference play. The win is their sixth-straight.

“I’m proud of our fight and I’m proud of our effort,” head coach Andy Shaw said. “There were a couple of times in the second half where we would get down three or five points and things wouldn’t look so good but credit to our guys for pushing through and getting us back on top.”

And the win came over a Pratt team that was an offensive juggernaut last season and are scorers of 80 points or more in eight out of 10 games so far this season.
