Allen is at home looking for revenge after Duncanville defeated the Eagles in the Conference 6A Division 1 state semifinals last season. The regular-season rematch is the the MaxPreps Game of the Week.
Over the past five years the Dallas-area programs have been among the winningest in Texas with Duncanville recording 68 victories and Allen 54.
In California, No. 6 Santa Margarita (Rancho Santa Margarita) and No. 8 Centennial (Corona, Calif.) will square off in a heavyweight showdown.
Santa Margarita is led at quarterback by junior Fletch Palmer, who made his first start last week and threw for two touchdowns. A pair of freshmen were difference makers for the Eagles as wide receiver Kiyan Callis topped 100 yards and linebacker Aydan Steen sacked the quarterback three times.
Centennial won its opener 41-21 as senior Jaden Jefferson threw a pair of touchdowns to four-star wide receiver Quentin Hale, a USC commit.
No. 14 Sierra Canyon (Chatsworth, Calif.) will travel to Florida to play No. 21 Chaminade-Madonna (Hollywood, Fla.) Thursday. The Trailblazers are led by five-star Ohio State commit Marcus Fakatou. The senior had two sacks in the opener.
