Both teams will place 14-1 records on the line.
Game time and location have not been announced.
The Daingerfield Tigers brought their "A" game to Irving Stadium last night, stunning a strong Blanco team in the Class 2A Div 2 semi-finals.
By the end of the first quarter, Koko Smith had introduced himself to the Blanco squad, and the Tigers were up by 14. They would never look back.
Blanco scored their only touchdown in the second quarter, a seven yard run by Kevin Gray. Daingerfield would score once more before the half, taking a 21-7 lead into the lockers.
Resuming play in the second half, Daingerfield seemed determined to prove they were for real, scoring on their first three possessions of the last half.
The Tigers will now face the winner of the Cisco - Pottsboro matchup, that game to be played today at 6:00 p.m. Both of those teams will place 13-1 records on the line.
Daingerfield now boast a 14-1-0 record on the year, their only loss going to Gilmer, a 3A playoff contender that lost to Carthage last week.

Crappie action picking up, Lake Gilmer report added this week.
Gilmer Lake Ranger Danny Lancaster reports that fishing has been light this week, with just a few crappie anglers braving the wind and rains. He expects a good crowd over the weekend.
Lake Gladewater - Lake Ranger Richard Ross is on vacation, so we don't have a report this week. Anyone knowing the lake conditions and how the fishing is, please comment below.
TPWD Reports follow:
Bob Sandlin - Water fairly clear; 45-50 degrees; 0.54' low. Black bass are fair on wacky rigs, Rat-L-Traps and Senkos. White bass are good on slabs and Rooster Tails. Crappie are good on minnows and jigs around the Hwy 21 bridge columns a few cranks off the bottom. Catfish are fair to good on nightcrawlers and cut bait.
Caddo - Water off color; 45-50 degrees; 0.59' high. Black bass are good on jigs, white spinnerbaits and flukes fished around vegetation. Crappie are excellent on red/white or red/green jigs in the pads along deeper creeks. White and yellow bass are good on small spoons and tailspinners.
Lake O' The Pines - Water stained; 45-50 degrees; 0.04' low. Black bass are good on spinnerbaits, crankbaits and black/blue Power Worms. Crappie are good on minnows and jigs in 20 - 25 feet (December 1st thru February 28th anglers keep their first 25 crappie regardless of size). Catfish are good on bloodbait. Bream are slow to fair on cut nightcrawlers.
Colder weather is pushing ducks south, and they are starting to appear in good numbers on local lakes and ponds.
The report says numbers are still down, and notes some more rain would help. We received a good dousing yesterday, and that should bring levels up in sloughs, creeks and ponds.
Excerpt of the TPWD Report follows:
North Zone Duck: The second split of duck season begins Dec. 13 and prospects look solid on lakes and reservoirs in Northeast Texas. Hunters there have noticed a significant influx of mallards to go with good numbers of gadwalls, wood ducks and green-winged teal. The region could use another dose of rain since no significant precipitation has fallen since September. Acorns and other forage are good this year with the summer rains, but some sloughs are dry and waiting for water to float duck food. Toledo Bend hunters said they are not seeing the number of birds they usually see, with a noticeable absence of mallards and canvasbacks. Caddo Lake, Lake Palestine, Lake O’the Pines and Lake Wright-Patman look good for the second split. Inland ponds near the coast could use another shot of rain to recharge ponds. Hunting was steady for the first two weeks of the season then slowed to a crawl around Thanksgiving. Best hunts have occurred on crawfish ponds and second-cropped rice fields. Prospects are fair to good.

Class 2A Div II powerhouses to meet in Texas Stadium.
Originally scheduled to be played Saturday in Huntsville, the game time and location changed when it was discovered Texas Stadium was available Friday night. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
Daingerfield (13-1-0), will face the Blanco Panthers (14-0-0). Daingerfield comes off a win over Newton to advance. Blanco defeated the Refugio Bobcats 27-7 Saturday to earn their berth in the semi-final match-up.
The game should be one to light up the scoreboard. Daingerfield has pounded opponents all year, notching three shutouts while scoring over 40 points seven times.
Blanco is no slouch while in possession of the ball either. The Panthers boast five shutouts this year, and scored in the forties or better ten times.
