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.

Seventeen state championships. Seven in a row, a Florida record. Thirty-two NFL Draft picks since 2001. Head coach Roger Harriott calls it the greatest high school football program in the world.

This is inside St. Thomas Aquinas — not the trophies, but what the program is built on: character, accountability, and an expectation every new group of Raiders inherits.

DeSoto has won four state championships, three of them in the last four years, and sent 13 players to the NFL Draft since 2001. Head coach Claude Mathis doesn't call it a team. He calls it a program.

This is DeSoto football: the city, the community, and the standard a group of teenagers in South Dallas carries every fall. The pipeline runs from Jalen Mills to Byron Murphy II, and it keeps producing.
