On Saturday afternoon, DeSoto upset Duncanville in a game featuring two of the top teams in Texas. But DeSoto looks to have gotten a pretty significant non-call in their 49-35 win.<\/p>\n

Duncanville came into the game on a roll and was ranked third in the nation in the USA TODAY Sports Super 25<\/a>. In the very same poll, DeSoto was No. 12.<\/p>\n

In the second quarter and with the ball at their own yard line, DeSoto got a non-call when it appeared that quarterback D.J. Bailey was sacked. On the play, Bailey was hit by a blitzing Duncanville defender.<\/p>\n

Bailey’s right forearm appears to go completely down and it appears like his right knee went down as well.<\/p>\n

The official, however, let the play go on and Bailey completed a 25-yard pass for a first down. For what it is worth, the official appears on the left side of the play with an un-obstructed view. Curious non-call but this view of the play was certainly better than this highlight clip from social media.<\/p>\n

DeSoto went into halftime up 35-21.<\/p>\n

Would the call have changed the game? Potentially. DeSoto wouldn’t have gotten the big completion and would have been pinned deep in their own end.<\/p>\n

But in a game that DeSoto won by two touchdowns<\/a>, it is hard to pin one potential non-call from officials for being the sole turning point of the game. The truth is, DeSoto showed up and played with a chip on their shoulder, regardless of what possibly was a missed call from the officials.<\/p>\n

And to the actual game itself…Bailey was impressive. A verbal to Sam Houston State<\/a>, the class of 2024 quarterback was 17-of-23 for 268 yards for four touchdowns.<\/a><\/p>\n

He looked every bit the part of a Power Five recruit in the weekend win. Sam Houston got a baller.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
