It’s Texas High School playoff season!

In Class 6A Division I, the Duncanville Panthers (13-0) boast an abundance of Division I talent, including QB Keelon Russell and WR Dakorien Moore. On the other hand, the North Crowley Panthers (14-0) bring resilience to the table with players like WR Quentin Gibson and LB Jonathan Cunningham. While Duncanville’s playoff experience is notable, North Crowley’s impressive season guarantees an exciting showdown, featuring plenty of firepower from both teams.

In Class 5A Division II, the Argyle Eagles (13-1) have been a dominant force, thanks to the leadership of their quarterback, Maguire Gasperson. On the other side, the Dallas South Oak Cliff Golden Bears (12-2) boast a strong defense, led by Kamauryn Morgan, who has signed with Baylor, and Jayden Shelton, who has committed to Arkansas. The Golden Bears’ defense, which has only allowed an average of 12.7 points per game, could play a crucial role in this matchup.

Duncanville and North Crowley come into this weekend’s matchups with strong rosters and key players, bringing explosive potential. Meanwhile, the clash between Argyle and South Oak Cliff promises an exciting battle between offense and defense. Duncanville’s experience and South Oak Cliff’s stifling defense make them particularly dangerous, but North Crowley’s hunger and Argyle’s high-powered offense ensure that these matchups will be thrilling and unpredictable.
