MANSFIELD — DeSoto had its best game of the season, in terms of points, at the expense of Mansfield Legacy on Friday night. The reigning Class 6A Division II champions scored four times in the first quarter to set the tone in a 64-3 win at Vernon Newsom Field. Every player that traveled to the game got playing time for the Eagles (5-0, 3-0 District 11-6A) and seven different players scored in the contest for them. By halftime, the score was 50-0 and the outcome was already decided. 'The kids played well and had a great week executing in practice, and we came out there and did a heck of a job in all three phases tonight,' DeSoto head coach Claude Mathis said.
