The CE King Panthers (10-1) defeated the Vandegrift Vipers (11-2) 58-41 in the UIL Class 6A D2 semifinals on Saturday at McLane Stadium. The Panthers clinched their first ever berth in the state title game.

CE King quarterback Timothy Potts led the Panthers with four rushing touchdowns and one passing touchdown. He ran for big gains up the middle of the Viper defense multiple times, including for a touchdown when the Vipers had cut the Panther lead to seven points.

The Panthers had a 21 point lead entering the fourth quarter. Vandegrift senior wide receiver Brock Chilton caught a touchdown pass, and the Vipers recovered the ensuing onside kick. On the first play after the onside kick, Chilton scored on a deep pass from senior quarterback Miles Teodecki to cut CE King's lead to seven points.

Potts then led a methodical touchdown drive to kill the Viper momentum. Senior running back Dionne Sims added two rushing touchdowns, one late in the fourth quarter, for CE King.

Toedecki threw six touchdown passes for the Vipers, and Chilton caught four of them, but it wasn't enough as the Viper defense could not get a stop when it needed to.

CE King will play DeSoto in the championship game at AT&T Stadium on December 20 at 7 p.m.
