Zach Allen's life has always revolved around football.
A standout player at Edmond Memorial, a four-year starter at Oklahoma State and the son of Oklahoma State sideline reporter Robert Allen, Zach Allen grew up walking football sidelines.
After nearly a decade as an assistant at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College, Allen was named head coach in January and is coming off his first win on Thursday night as NEO beat Arkansas Baptist College 47-0.
I know I was fortunate to have access that most kids at a young age could only dream of having.
