The defending UIL Class 6A Division 2 State Champion DeSoto Eagles have cruised through the first half of the 2023 high school football season.
DESOTO, Texas — The defending UIL Class 6A Division 2 State Championhave cruised through the first half of the 2023 high school football season so far, boasting an undefeated 4-0 overall record, including two wins against District 11-6A opponents. Their most recent win came this past Friday night against Waxahachie, and the game proved to be the first major speed bump on the Eagles’ road to a repeat.
Believe it or not, the 21-point margin of victory marks the closest game DeSoto has been in all year. The Eagles opened the season with three consecutive blowouts: a 39-7 demolition of Allen, a 54-14 dismantling of South Oak Cliff and a 42-17 victory over Skyline. Through the first 12 quarters of the season, DeSoto had only trailed for a total of four minutes and 48 seconds of regulation. Compared to that trend, the Eagles’ battle against Waxahachie was an outlier and an important test.
“He’s having a heck of a year this year, and he’s such a great leader,” Mathis said. “By having a veteran quarterback, you can do some different things because he’s been in the fire before, and he understands our system. He can get us in some great situations.”
