WEEK 2 PREVIEW: Breaking down the biggest games in Texas high school football

Cedar Hill (1-0) vs. Denton Guyer (0-1):
After a disappointing 2017 season, Cedar Hill showed that may have just been a bump in the road as the Longhorns made quite the statement Friday night unleashing a brutally efficient attack in a 57-7 rout of Tyler John Tyler. QB Shayne Lawrence looked sharp throwing for 241 yards and three touchdowns, but it was the CHS defense that was making waves holding John Tyler to -14 rushing yards and forcing a pair of turnovers.

Denton Guyer got hammered by injuries before it even stepped on the field against one of the state’s top Class 5A teams. Then things went downhill quickly as the Wildcats were hammered 40-0 in one of the more embarrassing losses in recent years for Denton Guyer. Sophomore QB Eli Stowers is as talented as they come but some of the Wildcats’ other playmakers will need to step up this week. Expect a much better showing this week, but Cedar Hill should take advantage of what still is a beat up Guyer squad.
Stepp’s Pick: Cedar Hill by 12
