As far as Texas high school football goes, it doesn't get much bigger than Duncanville vs. DeSoto this Friday night.

The two Lone Star State football powers are among the top-ranked teams in the state and the nation, and if Friday's game is anything like last year's 49-35 thriller, it could be a potential game-of-the-year candidate.

Duncanville Panthers (4-0)

The Panthers won their second consecutive UIL 6A Division 1 title last season, and they have the talent and skill to run it back for the third year in a row.

With five-star Alabama recruit Keelon Russell under center and five-star Oregon commit Dakorien Moore out wide, the Duncanville offense is averaging just under six touchdowns a game so far in 2024.

DeSoto Eagles (4-1)

Back-to-back 6A Division 2 state champion DeSoto finished 2023 undefeated and ranked No. 2 in the national rankings.

The Eagles have already experienced a setback this season in the form of a 57-51 upset loss to North Crowley (No. 2 in Texas, No. 7 nationally), but that may serve as a galvanizing loss that propels them to their third straight state title.

If DeSoto is going to make it three in a row, look for Texas A&M running back commit Deondrae Riden Jr. to lead the way. Riden missed five games last season but still tallied more than 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns.
