Dallas South Oak Cliff (1-0) at Duncanville (1-0):
South Oak Cliff with a late second-half rally, stunned Duncanville’s district rival Skyline, 22-21, a week ago. The Golden Bears trailed 21-7 at the half, but Rodney Hudson’s 58-yard scoring strike to DeMarco Moon lifted SOC ahead of Skyline with 2:02 remaining. This week, SOC will certainly have its hands full going against the No. 1 team in the state in Duncanville who is far from 100 percent as it’s battling injuries to multiple starters.
The Panthers started slowly last week but worked their way past Lancaster, 24-3, as Texas commit QB Ja’Quinden Jackson threw for 218 yards and three touchdowns and the Panthers defense held Lancaster to just 196 yards of offense. That Duncanville defense and dominance in the trenches will be the key in this one as SOC keeps it competitive for a half, but Duncanville’s just too big and too deep for South Oak Cliff.
