Coach -

Dominant performances in the fall begin with the work done all off season. That's something the Duncanville Panthers believe in 100%.

The Duncanville High School Panthers are our CoachesClinic Team of the Week.

Duncanville is 5-0 on the season after defeating Desoto (No. 4 in Texas and No. 11 in the country). The Panthers are ranked #1 in Texas and #4 in the country by MaxPreps.

Duncanville rolled up 475 yards, including 429 passing yards from Keelon Russell (26/36 429yd, 6TD), in 42-20 victory over Desoto (No. 4 in Texas and No. 11).

In five games Russell has completed 75% of his passes in 2024. He is 117/156 for 1,864 yards and 28 TD with only 1 INT. His favortite targets are Dakorien Moore, who had 9 receptions for 229 yards and 4TD against Desoto (37 rec 668 yd and 8 TD on season), and Zach Turner, who has 33 for 459 and 8TD on the season.

Duncanville Head Coach, Reginald Samples leads the Panthers. In 34 seasons he has won 345 games as a head coach. Duncanville is in a quest for a three-peat in 2024 after winning the 6A state championship in ‘22 and ‘23. 

Coach Samples shared the components of their off-season program which brought the Panthers their first title since 1998. The long-time Godfather of Dallas football finally checked off the final box in his Hall of Fame career. 

That consistency begins in the weight room. He explains the importance of making most of the time you have available to develop your team here (click on all images for videos):

High-powered offense and a dominant defense starts in the weight room.  The Panthers are showing the results of their work on the field.

Congratulations to Coach Samples and the Panthers, and good luck to everyone this week!
