Mike Says: This is the 3rd time this year we have featured Cedar Hill. They have gone 1-1 in those games playing the pre-season #2 4A team in Denton Guyer and the pre-season #1 5A team in Allen. DeSoto destroyed Euless Trinity last week in their game of the week debut. Eagle QB Desmon White is the teams leading passer and runner who puts up Manziel like numbers. Both teams are playing great and this will be for the district championship. What a great way to open up district play. The EAGLES win it 44-34!!

Chris Says: I tell you what... if nothing else, Cedar Hill will be battle tested by the time the playoffs roll around. DeSoto is the heir apparent and the whole freakin' world is talking about how great they are. This is where I could go out on a limb and say Cedar Hill surprises the world and knocks off DeSoto. I could say that. I could also say that pigs fly. While I would love to see it happen, I don't think any farmyard mammals will take to the sky anytime soon and Cedar Hill won't knock DeSoto down to earth. It WILL happen this year.. just not this week. The EAGLES win 38-21!!

LSG Intern Zach Says: Another great matchup between teams that have been tested early. The Eagles ripped Euless Trinity last week behind Desmond White’s six touchdowns. He leads a team that is right up there with Katy and Allen, which handed Cedar Hill its lone loss of the season. With White playing as well as anyone in the state and the defense doing its thing, I don’t think the Longhorns can keep up. Eagles 56-35

LSG Intern William Says: This game pits two top 10 teams in the state for what should be a high flying game. Cedar Hill bounced back after their loss to Allen with a 49-0 beat down of Ozen. However DeSoto put up 61 points on Euless Trinity last week, which doesn’t happen very often, and until somebody can slow down QB Desmond White I can’t think of a reason to pick against DeSoto. Eagles win 42-28.
