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, might be able to keep up. But can the defense slow the Eagles down?

About #1 DeSoto

It was business as usual for DeSoto, which had no trouble with Creekside (Ga.), as the Eagles rolled to a 70-0 victory, their 23rd straight. While Riden and Singleton both had identical numbers running and catching the ball (111 yards, respectively), the Eagle newcomers were the ones to watch. New quarterback Kelden Ryan passed for 156 yards and two TDs and added 75 yards rushing and two TDs, while Myson Johnson-Cook, a sophomore transfer who played at Illinois as a freshman, rushed for two TDs.

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 take on the 6A DII champions. North Crowley cleared the first hurdle with a 29-21 win over a solid Lancaster team last Saturday, with Jimerson throwing for 212 yards and three TDs and adding 67 yards rushing. The Panthers also rushed for 253 yards, with Warren accounting for 129.
