Cedar Hill's 2025 season came to an end last weekend with an 11-1, 5-4 loss to Royse City in the UIL Class 6A Division II Area Championship Round.

Cedar Hill senior Julian Gonzalez struck out 10 and walked three in six innings and kept the Longhorns in the game. They trailed 2-1 entering the sixth inning, but the Bulldogs broke the game open with nine runs over the final two innings.
