This was the second week in a row quarterback Quinn Ewers deserves the title of DFW Elite Realty Player of the Game, sponsored by Thomas and Sharon Michael. In Saturday’s game, Ewers was 25-30 for 361 yards and four touchdowns. He also rushed for two touchdowns.
For the season, the sophomore quarterback has passed for 3,610 yards and 42 touchdowns, with only three interceptions.
Led by Ewers, the offense continued to dominate, with Owen Allen leading the team with 116 yards on 23 carries. Senior captain Blake Smith caught seven passes for 105 yards and three touchdowns while Brady Boyd caught nine passes for 169 yards and a touchdown, including a one-handed circus catch that made Sports Centers nightly Top 10 list.
Defensively, the Dragons continue to rise along with their playoff competition. Senior captain and middle linebacker Graham Faloona recorded an impressive 18 tackles and an interception on the night helping to hold one of the more potent offenses in the area to limited production. The game was not as close as the score would indicate as Midland Lee scored 14 late fourth quarter points while many Dragon first teamers cheered their teammates from the sidelines.
Looking ahead, the Dragons are set for a rematch against the Duncanville Panthers, who are currently ranked No. 1 in the state and No. 5 in the country, according to MaxPreps.com. Both teams have 13-0 records and Duncanville’s defense is strong — having only given up 77 points all season.
