Familiar Feeling: Highland Park knocks out Ryan for third straight year, advances to third straight state championship
Poised Chandler Morris picks Ryan defense apart and finishes the game with 340 total yards and six touchdowns.
ARLINGTON — Highland Park (15-0) took down Denton Ryan (14-1) on Saturday afternoon at AT&T Stadium, 43-21, to advance to their third straight state championship next weekend. The Scots scored on their first possession and didn’t look back as junior quarterback Chandler Morris and company put up the most points against Ryan all season.
Despite rushing four defensive linemen, the Raider defense was unable to collapse the pocket on Morris which put Ryan’s defensive backs under immense pressure. Morris took advantage of the extra time in the pocket picking apart the Raider defense for 265 passing yards and three touchdowns. The signal-caller was also able to move the chains with his legs, notching 75 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns.
