Mike Says: I have Duncanville ranked a little higher than North Shore but how can you go against a team that knocked out Katy and Austin Lake Travis like North Shore did. It would take a team like Duncanville that knocked out Southlake Carroll and Allen. It will be a great game. North Shore wins it 30-28.
Chris Says: This will be a battle of behemoths. Not only are these the state's largest classification of the sport, but they are just BIG human beings! Both teams are loaded with D1 talent. The team that has knocked off so many talented teams en-route to this game is Duncanville. Overall though, I have Galena Park North Shore ranked higher and have to stick with my ranking. The Mustangs get the win in a tight one.
