By Cody Thorn DUNCANVILLE - After trailing by more than 14 points early in the third quarter, DeSoto put together a feverish rally in the fourth quarter in Tuesday's girls basketball showdown with Duncanville. The Eagles, ranked No. 6 in Class 6A in the UIL rankings, had the ball with a chance to tie the game with less than three minutes to play. But a missed 3-pointer turned into a quick kick out to Duncanville's Mariah Clayton, who scored on a fast-break layup and drew a foul. A free-throw conversion followed and the three-point play swung momentum in favor of the Pantherettes, paving the way for a 74-69 victory at Sandra Meadows Memorial Arena.
