Walnut Grove's regular season ended with a thud Thursday night in Allen, where the top-ranked Eagles rolled to a 63-7 victory and clinched the District 6-6A championship.
Allen quarterback Ty Snell completed 15 of 23 passes for 230 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. An Allen receiver caught eight passes for 115 yards and two scores in the win, according to a post on X by the Allen Eagles football account.
Snell, who has played quarterback for Allen this season, declared the district title on X after the game: "Great team win! We are the 6-6A District Champs!"
The loss dropped Walnut Grove to 7-3 overall and 4-3 in district play, good for third in the standings, according to MaxPreps. The Wildcats have now lost two straight after falling to Prosper 52-10 on Oct. 30.
Allen finished the regular season 10-0, according to Texas HS Football on X.
Playoff picture
The Wildcats have clinched a playoff berth, but their seeding in the Division II bracket hinges on the outcome of the Jesuit-Rock Hill game in the Week 11 regular-season finale. The Dallas Morning News reported before Thursday's game that Walnut Grove would be the district's No. 2 seed in Division II with a loss to Allen and a Jesuit win. The Wildcats would claim the No. 1 Division II seed if Rock Hill wins that matchup.
In Class 6A, the top four finishers in each district qualify for the playoffs. Those four qualifiers are split into Division I and Division II brackets based on enrollment size.
Walnut Grove beat Rock Hill during the regular season and lost to Jesuit, a factor in the tiebreaker scenarios.
Season in review
The Wildcats opened the year 7-1, winning three of their first four district games. A 50-49 overtime loss to Dallas Jesuit on Oct. 8 was the first blemish. Wins over McKinney Boyd (35-6) and Princeton (49-14) followed before the back-to-back blowout losses to Prosper and Allen closed the regular season.
Walnut Grove scored 378 points this season and allowed 280, per MaxPreps.
What's next
The Texas high school football regular season officially ends Friday, Nov. 6. Official playoff pairings and brackets are expected to be released Nov. 7-8, according to Yahoo Sports. First-round playoff games begin Nov. 12.
