Allen is a Midwest Members Credit Union Male Athlete of the Month for the Shells.

“Chase has been an essential part of our defense for the past three seasons,” Coach DeVries said. “Because of his position, nose tackle, he does not often have the stats or get the recognition that he deserves. He is also an outstanding wrestler.”

At the end of December Allen had an 18-5 wrestling record with 15 pins, so he is also having an extraordinary season in that sport and should be strong in the post-season.
