Mansfield Lake Ridge (4-1, 3-0) at Cedar Hill (5-1, 2-1):
This District 7-6A showdown lost a bit of its luster last week after unbeaten Cedar Hill failed to get any semblance of an offense going in a shocking 7-3 loss to Mansfield Summit. The Longhorns only managed 164 yards of offense and turned the ball three times in the loss. This was just a week after putting up 78 points against Waxahachie.
Lake Ridge once again got a nice performance from QB Chandler Rogers who accounted for 312 yards of offense and three touchdowns as the Eagles took down Waxahachie 35-21. Expect Cedar Hill at home to come out with a sense of purpose and a little anger after last week. This will be a shootout, but the difference is the Longhorns' defense.
Stepp’s Pick: Cedar Hill by 5
