Duncanville's Peavy reopens recruiting
Jul 23, 2019
By VYPE's Ray Meach
One of the nation's hottest names for rising seniors is Duncanville's Micah Peavy.
The 6-foot-7 wing had originally cut his list down to TCU, Houston, LSU, Texas Tech and Michigan. After a huge weekend during the April live period, Peavy decided to reopen his recruitment and welcome more schools to the race for his signature.
The 6A state tournament MVP steam-rolled into the summer and the coaches have definitely noticed the growth in his game.
<p>Since reopening his recruitment, Peavy has been offered by Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma State and Oregon. Even the newly-appointed Texas A&M head coach Buzz Williams didn't waste time extending an offer to the versatile wing. </p><p>Peavy is a Top 5 player in the state of Texas for the Class of 2020 and will be looking to lead Duncanville on another state run. </p>

Top 10 Moments of the 2018-19 DFW Sports Season: #1
Jul 12, 2019
After a few weeks of counting down the Top 10 Moments of the 2018-19 DFW Sports Season...we've arrived. Truthfully, there were a lot more than 10 moments to dig through and narrow down. But without further ado, here's our top moment.
Duncanville's Hail Mary Loss to North Shore
<p>
Usually Top 10 moments are good things to remember about the year. Obviously, this list hasn't been that. For what it's worth, it's been a mix of accomplishments, uncertainty and let downs.
</p>
<p>
The latter definitely defines our No. 1 moment. It's unfortunate, because even the moment probably would have been No. 1 without the dramatics at the end. The game's final moments just push it over the top.
</p>
<p>
It was thought nothing could top the Manvel/Highland Park finish in the 2017 5A Division I State Championship. Alas, those prognostications would be wrong.
</p>
<p>
Entering the 6A State Division I final, it pitted two other-wordly teams. Galena Park North Shore was viewed as immovable object. With great talent on both sides of the ball, there was mention of them being the best team ever in the history of Texas high school football.
</p>
<p>
Duncanville, for that matter, came into the game having posted one of the best defensive seasons in Texas high school football history. Outside of a thrilling state semifinal matchup against Allen, Duncanville only allowed more than 10 points once and posted six shutouts - an amazing feat in this day and age of high-paced, high-scoring football.
</p>
<p>
The game started with a fury of points in the first quarter. North Shore scored first, then Duncanville rattled of 10 straight. Next North Shore added a TD with a 2-point conversion, followed by another Duncanville score and then another North Shore score.
</p>
<p>
Just after the first quarter, Northshore led 22-17.
</p>
<p>
Then the defenses settled in, as the two teams scored just 10 points in the second and were held scoreless in the third quarter. After three, Duncanville trailed 29-20.
</p>
<p>
Once again, the offenses found life in the fourth quarter as Duncanville opened up with 10 straight points to grab the lead again.
</p>
<p>
North Shore responded to retake the lead, 35-30, with 5:26 left in the game. At the 1:02 mark, Duncanville's all-world, do-it-all QB Ja'Quinden Jackson scored to put Duncanville up 36-35 - a missed 2-point conversion meant North Shore would only need a field goal to win.
</p>
<p>
But the Duncanville defense flexed its collective muscle and forced the North Shore offense to stall near midfield. And. That's. When. It. Happened.
<br>
</p>
<p>
On first-and-20 from the Duncanville 45-yard line, North Shore QB AJ Carter dropped back and let it fly.

<p>
The Hail Mary heard 'round the state. With two receivers near the back corner of the endzone, and a number of Duncanville defensive backs guarding against the attempt, the ball somehow found itself in the hands Dematrius Davis who got the required foot down and inbounds, held onto the ball and secured North Shore's second state title in four years.
