The SOC Bears (13-1) will play Lubbock Cooper in the semifinal round.If they beat Cooper and advance to the finals, it would be the first time a Dallas team has made it to the finals since 2004 (Lincoln High School.)

The only state football championship for Dallas was won by Sunset High school in 1950. The 5A title won by Carter High School in 1988. They joy turned to disbelief when six of the football players were involved in an armed robbery, and an ongoing grades controversy stripped them of their title.
