CEDAR HILL WEEKLY SPORTS REPORT

District 6A-11 Opener

Panther Stadium

900 West Camp Wisdom Road

Duncanville, TX 75116

The Cedar Hill High School Football Team will visit Duncanville, the #1 Team in Texas Class 6A and the seventh-best team in the United States. The Panthers (3-0, 1-0) are the defending 6A Division I State Champions.

Cedar Hill will make its first trip to Panther Stadium since 2020, when the Panthers won, 28-14.

The Longhorns are coming off a 39-14 loss to Waxahachie (4-0, 1-0) in their 6A-11 District Opener. Here's a photo gallery from the game.

Cedar Hill outgained Waxahachie, 246-194, and trailed 20-14 at halftime, but a total of four turnovers proved to be difficult to overcome.

Cedar Hill reached several milestones in the game with Ashton Blake (10 carries for 48 yards) scoring his second rushing touchdown in as many games. Receiver Cedric Mills (three receptions for 49 yards) caught his first touchdown pass of the season.

Le'Keldrick Bridges caught two passes for 20 yards and a touchdown. He's caught three of the Longhorns' four touchdown passes this season.

Three Longhorns (Blake, Zhaiylen Scott and Cedederick Castleberry) now have at least 150 rushing yards on the season.

Duncanville has recorded consecutive shutouts, 44-0, over Rockledge (Florida) and 76-0 over Mansfield Lake Ridge in its District 6A-11 Opener last Friday.

Keelon Russell passed for 177 yards and two touchdowns against the Eagles. Running backs JaQualon Armstrong, Caden Durham and Devine Green rushed for two touchdowns apiece in the victory.

Duncanville head football coach Reginald Samples has been a head coach for 34 years. He arrived at Duncanville in 2015 and won his first State Championship last season.

Last Friday was an evening of milestones for the Cedar Hill High School Volleyball Program at Milson Gymnasium.

They earned a 3-0 sweep of Waxahachie -- their first victory over WHS in more than 15 years.

CHHS head volleyball coach Amanda Blackney earned her 200th career victory.

CHHS and WHS will meet again on October 10 in Waxahachie.

Cedar Hill (21-6, 2-1) won its 21st match of the season. The Lady Longhorns haven't won more than 20 matches in a season, in more than 15 years. The team finished 20-15 last season.

Cedar Hill, which hopes to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 2018, will host Dallas Skyline on Tuesday and visit Duncanville on Friday.

Here's a photo gallery from the match.
