Desoto looking to avenge last year’s loss and early on the offense does its part as senior quarterback samari collier caps an impressive drive, getting in from a yard out for a 7-0 lead.
Cedar hill quarterback kaidon salter, having a great year thus far, check out this play, he’s got nowhere to go, throws it up for jayden moore - great one handed grab as he wins this jump ball and we’re tied at 7.On their next possession, salter would make his only mistake of the night. This pass is just out of the reach of his receiver and it falls into the waiting arms of ashton levels-mitchell for a pick 6, desoto up 14-7. No panic for cedar hill though, they come right back with a beautifully executed screen pass to kevin young, and we’re all tied up at 20. Young with over 100 yards receiving on the night. In the 2nd half the longhorns extend the lead to 34-20 with young, doing the damage again this time on the ground. He’s in from 27 yards out. But there’s no quit in desoto and they have the ability to strike in a hurry - collier throws a jump ball to johntay cook, he makes a leaping grab to cut the lead to 7.The game would come down to 4th and 1 at midfield under 2 minutes to play, cedar hill protecting a 7 point lead - they go for it salter delivers the knockout punch, he races 49 yards for the touchdown and a 49-42 win to set up a showdown with duncanville next week for the district title!
