Pendleton County basketball star Dontaie Allen’s charge up the national rankings has begun.
Allen — a 6-foot-6 wing player who lit up the Under Armour Challenge last week — was elevated to the No. 46 overall spot in the class of 2019 by Rivals.com on Tuesday. He was not included in that website’s Top 150 national rankings going into last week.
Since leading the Under Armour Challenge in scoring — and finishing in the top five in rebounding and assists — Allen has picked up new scholarship offers from Louisville, Florida, Auburn, Pittsburgh, Oklahoma, Iowa State, Illinois and Saint Louis.
