CEDAR HILL WEEKLY SPORTS REPORT

The Cedar Hill High School Football Team (1-4, 0-2) enters a much-needed bye week after playing one of the toughest schedules in Texas.

The first six teams on the Longhorns' schedule entered the game undefeated, including Mansfield, whom they host on October 6.

Cedar Hill lost to Duncanville, the top-ranked team in Texas and seventh nationally, last Friday. Edwin Rhoden had six carries for 19 yards and Kymeion Turner caught a 14-yard pass against the defending 6A, Division I State Champions.

The Cedar Hill High School Volleyball Team will look to win its first match against DeSoto in five years.

Then, they'll round out the first half of District 6A-11 Competition when they host Mansfield Legacy.

The Lady Longhorns (23-6, 4-1) have swept three consecutive matches. They're currently tied for first place in 6A-11 with perennial powers Mansfield and Waxahachie, respectively.

Cedar Hill defeated Duncanville last Friday, earning their fourth consecutive victory over DHS.

Earlier in the week, they defeated Dallas Skyline.
