PRE-GAME NOTES

DeSoto has two four-star running backs in Deondrae Riden and Myson Johnson-Cook. And two four-star receivers in Daylon Singleton and Boobie Feaster. North Crowley, led by Chris Jimerson and Quinten Givens, could keep up with the pace. But can its defense slow the Eagles?

About No. 1 DeSoto

It was business as usual for DeSoto, which had no problems with Creekside (Ga.), and the Eagles pulled out a 70-0 victory, their 23rd straight. While Riden and Singleton each had exactly the same number of yards running and catching the ball (111 yards), the Eagles’ new additions were really the ones to watch. New quarterback Kelden Ryan threw for 156 yards and two touchdowns and added 75 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while Myson Johnson-Cook, a sophomore transfer who played as a freshman at Illinois, ran for two touchdowns.

About No. 5 North Crowley

The Panthers, who reached the 6A Division I semifinals last season before falling to eventual 6A DI champion Duncanville, can make a big statement this week when they face the 6A DII champions. North Crowley cleared its first hurdle last Saturday with a 29-21 win over a solid Lancaster team, with Jimerson throwing for 212 yards and three touchdowns and adding 67 yards in the running game. The Panthers also ran for 253 yards, with Warren contributing 129 of those.
