The Cedar Hill High School Boys Basketball Team has reached the UIL Class 6A Playoffs in three of the past four seasons.

With arguably the toughest district in Texas, Longhorns sixth-year head coach Corey Chism, a 2001 Cedar Hill High School Graduate, is optimistic that Cedar Hill can make yet another trip to the postseason.

“We’re getting better each and every day – a lot of growth is happening,” Chism said. “We’ve got quite a few guys with play making ability. They all seem to have the mentality of wanting to get better. This will be a fun team, and they play extremely hard like all of our teams do.”

The Longhorns will open the 2024-2025 season against Dallas W.T. White in the Jimmy Gales Classic at 5 p.m. Saturday at Davis Fieldhouse in Dallas.
