King never let their opponents score on Thursday. They blew past the Dekaney Wildcats 42-0 on the road. Given the Panthers' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 48th, while the Wildcats are ranked 212th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
King can attribute much of their success to Timothy Potts, who threw for 197 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 passes.
Another reason for the win was King's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for five sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Branden Braggs and Dominick Toulon who racked up all five sacks between them. Toulon is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in the last 16 games he's played dating back to last season.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, King was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 261 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 251 rushing yards in three consecutive matches.
