With a playoff win on the line, Duncanville rose to the challenge on Friday. They put the hurt on the Temple Wildcats with a sharp 35-14 victory. The result was nothing new for the Panthers and Pantherettes, who have now won seven contests by 20 points or more so far this season.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Duncanville to victory, but perhaps none more so than Trenton Yancey, who picked up 78 receiving yards and one touchdown, and also punched in one score on the ground. Yancey got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 55 yards. Another player making a difference was Ayson Theus, who rushed for 57 yards and one TD on only six carries.
Another reason for the win was Duncanville's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for 4.5 sacks. Kj Ford was especially locked on to Temple's QB and sacked him twice.
