Melissa (10-1)

The Cardinals fell to Lovejoy in their final game of the regular season, but outside of the game they have destroyed their competition. 

With a strong defense and a high-powered offense, they've won their other 10 games by an average of nearly 35 points. 

South Oak Cliff (9-2) 

The Bears might have two losses on their record this season, but those losses have come against DeSoto and Duncanville, who are both nationally ranked and ranked No. 1 and No. 3 in the state, respectively. 

Aside from those two games, they've been absolutely dominant. 

They have three shutouts under their belt and have allowed 21 points just once, and they've averaged just under 48 points per game in those other nine contests.
