With the arrival of the new year, it means that football must end soon. This week marks round 5 of the playoffs, or better known as the State Semifinals. With only 4 teams left in competition, who will get their shot at another week of football?
In the 6A D1 Division of the UIL Playoffs, Southlake Carroll and Duncanville are the first matchup. Duncanville is on a revenge tour, having lost in the State Title game last year to North Shore. On the flip side, Southlake Carroll was knocked out in round 4 last year by Duncanville. This is going to give them each extra motivation to get to Jerry World, as if a team really needs that much of a boost.
