ARLINGTON, Texas — The DeSoto Eagles won its second state championship in school history six seasons after winning their first. The Eagles defeated Austin Vandegrift in the 6A-D2 state championship at AT&T Stadium on Saturday, 42-17. DeSoto's first title came in 2016 in a 38-29 win over Cibolo Steele. The win marked the first state title win for head coach Claude Mathis, who came to DeSoto in 2008 and helped build the program into a statewide powerhouse, but never won the big one. He left after the 2014 season to on Chad Morris' staff at SMU.
