The De Soto Eagles will be looking to repeat its quest as the district champion and they will have to do it with a young offensive backfield. The biggest plus for the Eagles will be its wide spreading speed, size and depth. Look for the offensive line to be the key ingredient to a successful season. A strong pre-district schedule will certainly help this team ready themselves for district action.
