The Tigers, who had to schedule a pair of teams from Mexico because they couldn’t find an opponent, improved to 4-0 with a resounding 46-29 win over previously unbeaten
DeSoto (Texas) in a battle of Texas and national powers on Friday night.
According to the Dallas Morning News,
Sam Kelley rushed 23 times for 186 yards and two touchdowns and the team’s secondary intercepted
Ryan Polite three times in the second half, two that led to touchdowns.
Polite threw for 339 yards and three scores, but the interceptions were critical.
It was the lowest scoring output of the year for the high-scoring Eagles, who came into the game ranked 44th in the nation and No. 6 in the state. DeSoto (3-1) entered No. 63 and 9.
