The Alamodome in San Antonio, TX, will host a marquee matchup on Friday, November 24, as the Willis Wildkats and DeSoto Eagles face off in the third round of the Texas high school football playoffs. Both teams come into the game undefeated, but only one will leave with their perfect record intact.

DeSoto brings a balanced and explosive offense to the field. Quarterback Darius Bailey, a poised leader under center, excels with a strong arm and dependable protection from standout offensive tackle David Russell. Running back Marvin Duffey, with 1,206 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns, is a consistent threat on the ground, while speedy wide receiver Daylon Singleton dominates defenses with 950 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns.

On the other side, Willis boasts one of the most dynamic players in the nation: quarterback DJ Lagway. With 4,270 passing yards, 71 total touchdowns, and an ability to lead his team on the ground, Lagway has been the heart of the Wildkats’ success. Sophomore standout Jermaine Bishop adds versatility and firepower with 1,410 receiving yards, 372 rushing yards, and 25 total touchdowns this season.

This clash pits DeSoto’s well-rounded offense against Willis’s high-octane passing attack. While DeSoto holds the top ranking in Texas, their defense has shown vulnerabilities against strong aerial teams—a potential opening for Lagway and the Wildkats.

With two undefeated teams vying for playoff glory, this matchup promises to be one of the most thrilling games of the season. Fans won’t want to miss it.
