VYPE Player of the Game Cade Manning had 4 runs, 2 hits and a RBI in Southlake Carroll’s 17-0 win against Fort Bend Ridge Point.
Dragons win 2nd straight state title and set UIL 6A records for most runs in a state game (17) and inning (11).
The Wolves have been on a tear all year long, having endured just one defeat against 5A super-power Pieper in Week 3, before claiming victory in their six subsequent contests -- most recently toppling Uvalde 56-24 last Friday.
Now, Davenport (8-1) has its sights set on ending the regular season on a high note, when traveling to Canyon Lake.
Coach JD Zimmerhanzel's offense is running like a well-oiled machine, as they're currently averaging just over 44 points per game, paired with a complementary defense that's limited opponents to 20 per contest.
In terms of star-power, the catalyst for the group's immense success has been Barrett Fallon. After being named the District Newcomer of the Year in 2023, the junior running back has registered over 1,500 scrimmage yards and 20 scores throughout the Fall.
At this rate, Fallon is in line for a unanimous District MVP selection. But, he's not alone in the attack.
Senior signal-caller Daniel Soukup II is more than efficient from the QB-spot, having thrown for 1,439 yards, while adding 463 more on the ground for a combined 23 TDS (17 passing/6 rushing).
Soukup's top targets are first-team, all-district honoree Dante Singletary (29 rec, 580 yds, 7 TDs), Mason Falcone (29 rec, 309 yds, 4 TDs), Adam Elza (17 rec, 214 yds, 2 TDs), and Caden Scott (14 rec, 214 yds, 2 TDs).
Defensively, 2023 first-teamer Tate Broaddus (Jr. LB) has been the Davenport's rock, leading with 66 tackles -- 9 of which were for loss.
He's joined in the effort by junior linebacker Peyton Yankie (65 tackles, 5 TFL), Aryck Singletary (Jr. DB/first-team), Parker Bloess (Sr. LB), Markus Arvidson (Sr. DL), and Josh Johnson (So. DB).

Meanwhile, out of Fischer, TX, Canyon Lake (6-2) comes off of a bye which was preceded by a 27-7 win against Uvalde.
Under the direction of head coach Sam Parker, the Hawks have been efficient on offense, evidenced by their 39 point average.
Similar to their district counterpart Davenport, they have relied heavily on the run-game. As it stands, senior RB James Garza has compiled roughly 800 all-purpose yards for 8 touchdowns behind a stout offensive line.
Quarterback Jace Wheeler has played some clean ball in his sophomore campaign, having averaged 165 throwing yards per contest, with 17 TDs to just 2 interceptions.
He's got two big-bodied senior receivers in Carter Williams (22 rec, 610 yds, 9 TDs) and first-teamer Harris Gilliam (21 rec, 380 yds, 7 TDs) to turn to in the key moments, which has clearly paid dividends to Canyon Lake's production.
On defense, expect second-team selection Michael Anderson (Sr. LB), Eli Hammons (Jr. LB), Jaxon Ammons (Sr.), and junior Cash Ziemba to keep boosting their highlight reel, as the team anticipates a postseason return.
...
This will be the most critical matchup in the District 14-4A-D1 race, with huge playoff implications, and it all goes down when Davenport travels to Hawks Stadium Friday night (7:00 pm).
