Regrouping and geared up for action, the team went into week two with their heads held high and defeated Lancaster by a score of 42-21 in a home opener for the season. With DeSoto breathing down their necks in a week three 54-14 loss, South Oak Cliff bounced back last week to defeat four-time (consecutive) defending TAPPS state champion Parish Episcopal in a 49-14 trouncing.
