Crowds lined up Saturday to support the South Oak Cliff football’s second consecutive state title win.
The parade and celebration were initially scheduled for last month, but an arctic blast before the holidays postponed the events. On Saturday, the parade route included several blocks along Marsalis Avenue.“Amazing. We always knew South Oak Cliff could do it,” Wallace said. “I’m so proud of these young boys. I just jump out of my bed and make it out here to support them. I hope to see them on TV one day playing in the real leagues.
“They surprised everybody. They’re doing a great job. They’re doing a great job. It’s just a blessing out here to watch them come down and do their thing today,” he said. The celebration continued on the school’s football field, where community leaders stressed the importance of investing in schools. Kalyce Evans, a junior at SOC and a football team member, said he couldn’t believe how many people showed up Saturday.
