You can call it a championship coaches fraternity, but for these three men, their brotherhood was only made stronger by this historic moment. "I think it's real monumental because we all had to overcome obstacles to get to this point," said South Oak Cliff head coach Jason Todd. South Oak Cliff, Duncanville and DeSoto high schools all 2022 state champions, in the same county, led by three Black men. "A lot of times they look at it like we aren't doing much coaching. It's all talent, but at the end of the day I think you have three good coaches here and the fact that we've done these accomplishments shows we are good coaches," said Duncanville head coach Reginald Samples.
