ALLEN, Texas — The DeSoto Eagles have the chance to win their second state championship in a row this year, as the team beat Southlake Carroll on Saturday in the playoff semifinals.
DeSoto beat Southlake Carroll 45-38 in the game at Allen's Eagle Stadium to earn their spot in the 6A-Division II state championship game. This will be their second year in a row that the Eagles will be playing in the championship game. And if they win, it will be the third state title the team has won overall.
