Marshall defensive lineman Jalil Rivera-Harvey returns to the Metroplex as the Thundering Herd (6-6) face UT San Antonio (8-4) at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Frisco Bowl. Rivera-Harvey finished the regular season with 13 tackles.

Oklahoma State defensive lineman Xavier Ross and the Cowboys (9-4) will face Texas A&M in the Texas Bowl on December 27 in Houston.

The Cedar Hill High School Girls Basketball Team opened District 6A-11 with consecutive victories over Mansfield Legacy (72-41) and at Mansfield Lake Ridge (67-49).

Brooklyn King scored 13 points, along with nine rebounds, in the Legacy game. Cedar Hill scored 27 points off 26 Legacy turnovers.

Taylor Craver finished with 10 points, nine assists and five rebounds in the win over Lake Ridge.

The Lady Longhorns (8-8, 2-0) will play one more 6A-11 game before the end of 2023, when they host Waxahachie (11-6). WHS is much improved compared to recent seasons.

"I'm proud of my girls," Cedar Hill head girls basketball coach Nicole Collins said. "They are playing exactly like I knew they were capable of and still have another level to go. I believe our non-district season definitely prepared for us for the District of Doom."
