Henry-Jennings has thrown 33 touchdown passes and only two interceptions. South Oak Cliff is coming off perhaps the biggest win in school history, beating 10-time state champion Aledo 33-28 in a 5A Division II Region II semifinal as Kevin Henry-Jennings threw a game-winning 18-yard touchdown pass to Randy Reece with 4:14 remaining. With a win this week, South Oak Cliff (12-1) would tie its 13-1 1970 team for the most wins in a season in school history, according to the website Texas High School Football History. Riddle’s pick: Southlake Carroll 42, Allen 28 Allen “held” Euless Trinity star running back Ollie Gordon to 138 rushing yards last week - a drastic improvement from when Gordon ran for 455 yards against Allen in the playoffs the year before.
Allen has been sparked by running back Jaylen Jenkins, who has run for 293 yards and four touchdowns in the last two games, giving him 1,544 yards and 22 touchdowns for the season. Carroll has allowed more than 20 points just three times this season, but it faces an Allen team that is averaging 44.9 points per game. Carroll quarterback Kaden Anderson has thrown 11 touchdown passes and completed 66% of his passes in his last four games, and he matched his season high with four touchdown passes in last week’s 52-0 rout of Lewisville. He has run for more than 100 yards in all six games since returning from a sprained ankle, and he has 16 touchdown runs and a pair of 200-yard games in that six-game stretch. Southlake Carroll running back Owen Allen ranks third in the Dallas area in rushing yards (1,970) and fourth in touchdown runs (29). The most recent was Allen’s state championship in 2017.
These teams have combined to win 13 state titles - eight for Southlake Carroll and five for Allen.
