Texas high school star Patrick Dzudie turned Senior Night into a video game stat line, piling up 11 touchdowns and more than 750 yards of offense in a shootout win.
LONGVIEW, Texas — If there was a fantasy football league for high school football, you’d want Texas teen Patrick Dzudie on your team.
Dzudie was responsible for 11 touchdowns and was responsible for over 750 yards of offense in the Trinity School of Texas Titans 130-96 win over Leverett’s Chapel.
“Literally, at the end of the first quarter, one of our assistant coaches, he looked at me, it was like, it’s going to be a long game. This is going to go all four quarters, so just be ready,” Dzudie said.
Ready was an understatement. He was the biggest part of an offense that scored on every single possession.
“Coach Barrow, he called it a track meet, multiple track meets,” Dzudie said.
It didn’t come down to some fancy scheme that got him into the end zone, just pure primal desire.
“With it being senior night home game in front of our families crowd, everything,” Dzudie said. “Just knowing that we’re going to do something great, knowing how much was at stake, I guess I just wanted to win the game. I knew I had to win the game and it wasn’t optional to me.”
With a performance like that, he’s put the 6-man TAPPS Division I Trinity School of Texas Titans on the map in one of the biggest high school football towns in Texas, and did so just a few years after the program was brought back after COVID forced the school to get rid of the program.
“The school is getting into it. Little kids are getting into it. Everyone thinks that we’re heroes and stuff,” Dzudie said. “So I just hope that that continues, they start to love the game like we do and then as years go by we’ll build a better program, stronger program and we’ll make a name for ourselves.”
