Former Miami Hurricane named new Cedar Hill head coach

After a coaching search that featured several twists and turns, Cedar Hill ISD named Midlothian defensive back coach Nick Ward as the next head football coach at Cedar Hill High School.  

Coach Ward replaces Carlos Lynn, who resigned at Cedar Hill after a disappointing 2-8 campaign. Lynn spent six years at Cedar Hill and led the Longhorns to the 6A-Division II state title game in 2020. Ward has ties to Cedar Hill as he spent time on Carlos Lynn’s staff in 2020 and 2021 and coached in the state title game in 2020.
