Denton Ryan won its 5th straight game, 52-0 over Keller Fossil Ridge, on Thursday at the Keller ISD Athletic Complex.
The Raiders improved to 6-1 overall and 3-0 in District 3-5A Division I action. Denton Ryan is in the driver’s seat to win the first district title in four years. Only games against Azle and Fort Worth Chisholm Trail stand in the way.
However, the Raiders are the only team in 3-5AD1 without a district loss.
“What we've been focusing on is not so much what we do, it's how we do it and executing at a high level,” said first-year coach Shane Tolleson. “We’ve got a long way to go, though. This team is talented, but we're still not at the level that I think we need to be to take this team to places that this program has been before. And that's the goal here. That's the standard. It's high here. And we're here to raise the bar. And we’ve got a long way to go in that aspect to meet that goal.”
Tolleson was previously an assistant coach at Denton Ryan before becoming head coach at Waxahachie. He left Waxahachie after last season to return to Denton Ryan to replace Dave Henigan.
He was part of 7 straight district titles when he was an assistant and the level to be among the best programs in the state is still there.

The defense got the team going with a 30-yard pick-6 by Arkansas pledge John Catlin IV. That was on the second play for Fossil Ridge.
That was the foreshadowing of a dominating performance. The first shutout of the season included giving up only 3 first downs and Fossil Ridge had only 42 yards of total offense.
Denton Ryan posted two shutouts last week — against Granbury in the regular season and then versus Abilene in the postseason.
The offense got 3 touchdowns from R’mani Benjamin. The transfer quarterback from Waxahachie threw for 143 yards and touchdown passes to Connelly Cunningham and Brylon Moody. Benjamin also ran 5 times for 92 yards, including an 88-yard touchdown on the first offensive play after the Ryan defense got a turnover.
Sophomore Malik Henderson ran 7 times for 26 yards and scored twice for the Raiders.
