Saturday’s Class 6A Division I Texas high school football championship between No. 5 Duncanville and No. 8 North Shore was more about who wasn’t playing rather than who was.
Duncanville was without the services of quarterback Ja’Quinden Jackson was suffered a partially torn left ACL. On the other sideline, the Mustangs were without Zach Evans who reportedly violated team rules involving cell phone use.
THAT'S A BIGGIE!

With Evans gone, North Shore still relied on a great ground game with Roger Hagan and quarterback Dematrius Davis each rushing for over 100 yards. The Mustangs’ ball-control offense held the ball for 27 of the game’s 48 minutes.
