Duncanville starts the season where it ended 2022, at the top of the High School Football America Texas Top 25 high school football rankings, powered by NFL Play Football. Friday night, the top-ranked Panthers will square-off with No. 13 South Oak Cliff in a battle of defending state champs.

No. 2 North Shore begins life with Willie Gaston as their head coach against No. 21 The Woodlands. Jon Kay resigned earlier this year to take a college coaching position at Rice.
