Duncanville should be able to run most of the clock out._________Another fourth down. No timeouts for Waxahachie, and the Indians let it run down to the two-minute timeout._________Waxahachie converts a big fourth-down all the way to Duncanville’s 13. Plenty of time left._________Waxahachie deflects a screen pass on fourth down, and Duncanville is forced to punt from deep in their own territory. Still about four minutes to play, and the Indians set up shop on their own 48-yard line. All the momentum is on Waxahachie’s side.__________DUNCANVILLE 35, WAXAHACHIE 27Another turnover by Duncanville sets up Waxahachie up in good field position again. The Panthers’ defense holds, but Guillen hits another 51-yard field goal. This is a one-score game.ETHAN GUILLEN IS A BEAST! His fourth field goal today is good from 51!

Don’t look now, but it’s back to a two-score game, and one of those can be a field goal. And Waxahachie as the kicker for a game like this.__________Waxahachie throws an interception to start the fourth quarter, but Duncanville gives it back two plays later on a fumble.__________End of third quarter: Duncanville 35, Waxahachie 16__________DUNCANVILLE 35, WAXAHACHIE 16Guillen connects on his third field goal of the day to chip into Duncanville’s lead slightly.__________DUNCANVILLE 35, WAXAHACHIE 13Theus hauls in another short touchdown pass, and for the first time today, Waxahachie is in a three-score deficit. This is starting to feel like it might already be out of reach for the Indians.__________The third quarter is under way.__________End of second quarter: Duncanville 28, Waxahachie 13Unbelievable. Waxahachie kicker Ethan Guillen misses a 59-yard field goal attempt to end the first half when it hits the cross bar and bounces back into the field. It won’t show on the scoreboard, but that was one heck of a kick.__________DUNCANVILLE 28, WAXAHACHIE 13It’s been a costly ending to the first half. They give up a 38-yard touchdown reception by Zach Turner to fall back down by two scores. They do get the ball first in the second half, and they got a nice return to Duncanville’s 49-yard line. But there’s only 13 seconds left.__________DUNCANVILLE 21, WAXAHACHIE 13Yancey scores again on a short run to extend Duncanville’s lead back to eight points.Touchdown DuncanvilleTrenton Yancey in for his second score of the day, the Panthers take a 21-13 lead over Waxahachie with 3:01 in the 2nd Q@d1trent_ | @Duncanville_FB | @TA_Recruiting | #txhsfbpic.twitter.com/zI1FkXBh7l— Jason Howell (@Jason_Howell) December 6, 2025__________DUNCANVILLE 14, WAXAHACHIE 13This is a good one, folks.
