So last we saw Mikey Allen with basketball in hand, he was dropping buzzer beating game winners for Bishop Walsh, on back to back nights during the ACIT. For several seasons now we remember Mikey as a spot up catch and shoot 3 point shooting specialist at BW. Unless you follow the AAU circuit you haven't really seen him play with the ball in his hands since his freshman year at BW, when he was the Burgundy team MVP as a point guard. We may have forgotten how dynamic he is playing with the ball in his hands. This past summer he made several AAU all tournament teams against very talented competition playing as a power point guard. He has played with and against very good talent. I am not familiar with the FH basketball program. I know that the Burns kid is a good player, but don't know of what else they have. If they have some players, Mikey will make them better. He has that knack of making those around him better. Even with not doing any basketball activities since summer, he is still ranked as a top 10 combo guard in Prep Hoops Maryland class of 2023. While he is a very talented basketball player, I believe that football may be his better calling card at the next level. In any case, with a little help maybe he can help FH get a ring of a different kind. If nothing else, he should create a lot of buzz around the FH gym this season. I have seen him play a lot and grow a lot over the the last few years, I hope he, his teammates, and the FH community have a great season. He is that damn good.
