South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas made history last year by winning its second consecutive state championship in football, becoming the first Dallas ISD team to achieve this feat. The school, which is predominantly Black, has faced challenges in the past due to aging infrastructure, leading to a student walkout in 2015. However, with the support of Principal Willie Johnson, equity has become a priority, and massive renovations were completed in 2020. Despite losing 11 players to Division I schools, South Oak Cliff is determined to make it three state championships in a row in 2023. The team will rely on senior Collin Simmons, recently committed to Texas, and tailback Caden Durham, who had an impressive 1,960 yards and 36 touchdowns last season. Another key player is LSU commit wide receiver Dakorien Moore, ranked fifth in the 2025 class by 247Sports. With their loaded roster, South Oak Cliff is poised to defend their title and solidify their status as the top team in Texas.
