Duncanville (9-1)

The Panthers' only loss this season came against undefeated DeSoto, who is the No. 6 ranked team in the nation and the top-ranked team in Texas.

Outside of that game, no other team has come even remotely close to threatening Duncanville. 

They have shut out four of their opponents and held all others to less than two touchdowns, including South Oak Cliff, who is the No. 12 ranked team in the state. 

The Panthers continued their dominant trend last week in the opening round of the playoffs, destroying Hutto 63-7. 

Rockwall-Heath (8-2)

The Hawks lost two of their first five games this season, but have since gone on a five-game winning streak. 

They will look to keep their winning ways going Friday, but they'll have to figure out how to score on a team that's allowed an average of 8.5 points per game, as well as how to slow down an offense that is averaging nearly seven touchdowns per game this season.
