Inside Duncanville football. Colin Simmons went to Texas. Keelon Russell went to Alabama. Dakorien Moore went to Oregon. All three came off the same two Duncanville teams, the back-to-back Texas 6A state champions of 2022 and 2023.

None of it was given. Duncanville has played for a state title seven times and lost four, most recently by three points in 2025. Coach Reginald Samples has 364 career wins and counting, sixth-most in Texas history. At 70 he considered retiring. He came back instead.

Fifteen minutes down the road is DeSoto. In 2022 and 2023 the two schools split every 6A trophy in Texas between them.

970 wins, second-most in the history of American high school football and three from the record. Twenty-five state championships. Nine national championships. And football played in this town since 1891.

Paul Brown came home in 1932 to teach English and history, and stayed to invent much of how the game is coached. He won a national title here, then at Ohio State, then a championship with the Cleveland Browns. Almost nobody in football history owns all three. He learned it in Massillon.

But ask anyone in that town what makes this place different and they won't start with the trophies. They will start with the COMMUNITY.
