By Blaine Clamon
At the Ford Center in Frisco on Thursday night, the Malakoff Tigers and Brock Eagles met on the field in the 3A, Division I state semifinals, with a spot in the title game on the line. This was the second meeting in the state semis for these two programs, last clashing in 2018 when Malakoff won a thriller by the score of 23-21 to book a spot at AT&T Stadium. Malakoff carried a 12-game winning streak into the contest and averaged 45.2 points a game in the playoffs.
The Eagles led 14-3 at halftime and 21-3 after three quarters. The Tigers found the end zone in the fourth quarter to trim the lead to 21-10, however, with under six minutes to go, the Eagles made a key interception and never looked back, defeating the Tigers by that final score to advance to the 3A, D1 championship.
Malakoff finishes their season at 13-2 as district champs and state semifinalists.
