DeSoto (7-1, 5-0) vs. Duncanville (7-0, 5-0)
Two state powers. Two college football factories. Two high-profile head coaches. And a district title on the line.
Duncanville has won the last four meetings in the series, dating back to 2017. Desoto's last win came in their state championship season in 2016. They've met in the Regional Final in each of the last two years, with Duncanville winning both times. This time, the District 11-6A Championship is on the line.

Fort Worth Arlington Heights (8-0, 5-0) vs. Grapevine (7-1, 5-0)
The lone undefeated teams in district play for 5A-2 District 4 battle for the No. 1 spot.
Arlington Heights has yet to lose this season, while Grapevine lost a non-district matchup against the Argyle Eagles earlier in the year.
Arlington Heights' 2022 season success is newfound after going 7-21 over the past three years. Grapevine, on the other hand, is riding a 19-district-game win streak.
This game is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday at Mustang-Panther Stadium.
Richland (7-1, 5-1) vs. Mansfield Timberview (8-0, 6-0)
District 5-5A Division I leader Mansfield Timberview boasts an offense scoring a 5A-area best 60.8 points per game.
Richland leads the area in passing offense led by quarterback Bryce Morton, who has thrown for 2,535 yards and 34 touchdowns. Timberview will combat this with its defense that allows just 108.4 passing yards per game and only 12.9 points per game.

Sunnyvale (5-3, 3-0) vs. Caddo Mills (8-0, 3-0)
Sunnyvale and Caddo Mills come into this matchup as 4A-2 District 6's final two undefeated teams. Sunnyvale dropped a few games early in the year during non-district play, but have won every district game in convincing fashion.
Caddo Mills has dropped 50-plus points on two of its district opponents, but squeaked by Ford, 7-6. The winner of this matchup will likely be district champs.
