WAXAHACHIE – Waxahachie, storming back from an 18-point third-quarter deficit, stopped nationally ranked No. 4 Duncanville on fourth-and-2 with under two minutes remaining for a 28-27 upset of the top ranked area team at Lumpkins Stadium on Friday night.
Duncanville led 27-9 midway through the third quarter.
But Waxahachie never gave up.
Waxahachie quarterback Jerry Meyer III tossed two touchdown passes, including a 24-yard strike to Jordan Thompson-Woods, and Nolan Barnard’s one-yard scoring run capped a furious 19-0 run.
The decisive score came with 3:48 left as the Indians’ defense forced a late punt and denied a final Duncanville drive.
