Duncanville has last laugh in first round
By Alex Hinson
Ding... ding...
Round 1 is in the books.
Friday night's Round 1 games gave high school football fans around the State a glimpse into the next few weeks of the UIL playoffs.
Not too many surprises, as the power programs flexed their prowess and some of the state's stars shined brightest.
Here's what happened.
...
Duncanville needed a comeback to survive. Waco Midway led 42-35 going into the fourth at McLane Stadium before four-star WR Trenton Yancey scored four late touchdowns in a 63-42 win. One of the state’s top 6A programs gave up 42 in round one; the defense is the question heading into the area round.
...
Lewisville is the team nobody wants. The Farmers beat Prosper 34-24, their first bi-district win since 2022, holding the area’s top offense (51.7 ppg) to its second-lowest output of the year. QB Brassfield, reinstated Oct. 22 after an eligibility fight, outdueled Prosper’s Tyler Albert. Lewisville gets Coppell next, who hung 66 on South Grand Prairie.
...
The heavyweights looked like heavyweights. Allen 73-0, DeSoto 72-6, Timberview 77-6, North Crowley 55-0, Lone Star 66-21, Argyle 65-17. A North Crowley–Duncanville rematch in 6A DI Region I is still the collision course everyone’s circling.
...
District 10-6A swept 9-6A. The surprises were Rockwall-Heath (6-5), the last team into the field, beating 9-2 Sachse 37-33 behind 400 passing yards from Prosper Neal, and North Forney (started 0-3) routing 9-2 Wylie East 49-7.
...
Droughts ended. Dallas Lincoln’s first playoff win in 13 years (45-0 over FW Southwest), Denton’s first since 2015 (34-28 over Wyatt), and Wilmer-Hutchins’ first bi-district title since 2020 (33-28 over Eastern Hills) in Leon Paul’s first season.
...
Lake Highlands is a dark horse. The defense has allowed more than 20 points twice since October and smothered Haltom 35-13.
...
Celina over Lovejoy, 28-20, is the 5A DII result that reshuffles Region I; Anna (11-0 now) and Argyle are the other two to watch there.
...
Close calls that nearly flipped: Keller 35-31 over Arlington, L.D. Bell 21-18 over Berkner, Red Oak 31-27 over Harker Heights, Richland 39-37 over Reedy, Arlington Heights 24-22 over Chisholm Trail, Walnut Grove 31-27 over Braswell, Kennedale 34-28 over Carter.
...
Waxahachie (7-3 at half, won 42-10) got first-year coach Lawrence Williams his first playoff win.
