DeSoto Bounces Back From Loss, Improves To 5-2 Over Horn

Tom Thumb - DFW's Grocer Since 1948


The Eagles recovered quickly from last week’s Duncanville defeat, blowing past Horn 65-24 at home, and handing the team their fourth consecutive loss. DeSoto has now won four games by 36 points or more this season. 

The Jaguars kept it close entering the fourth quarter 12 points, but ended the contest losing by 41. The Eagles scored four consecutive touchdowns to end the period, a fumbled kickoff return, and forced two turnover on downs. 

DeSoto out-gained Horn 549 total yards to 320 yards. However, it was the Eagles ground game that was virtually unstoppable, outpacing their opponent 278 yards to 67 yards.

Deondrae Riden Jr. led the rushing attack with 114 yards and three touchdowns. Kelden Ryan (96 yards) and Myson Johnson-Cook (86 yards and two touchdowns) also heavily contributed. 

DeSoto has now rushed for at least 181 rushing yards in 22 consecutive contests dating back to last season.

DeSoto will play away at a Cedar Hill team that is averaging 26.5 points per game this season. Horn will look to righten the ship against Duncanville on Friday.
