Why it's big: It's the lone matchup between Xcellent 25 teams this week. Skyline (2-0) elevated into the national rankings on the strength of its 24-22 win against then-No. 14 Martin (Arlington) last week. It was the Raiders' 21st-consecutive regular-season win.

Cedar Hill (2-0) wants to avenge a 40-31 loss against Skyline last season. The Longhorns have enjoyed sensational play from quarterback Avery Davis this year. The four-star junior leads the team with 396 passing yards, 199 rushing yards and seven total touchdowns.

Names to watch:
Senior Da'Leon Ward, a Texas Tech commit, had over 100 rushing yards in Skyline's first two games. Fellow future Red Raiders Joseph Wallace and Clarence Henderson anchor one of Texas' top defensive lines.



Running back Kaegun Williams transferred to Cedar Hill over the summer after earning all-state accolades at Stephenville last season. The four-star junior hasn't been a big factor in the Longhorns' offense yet, but that figures to change sooner rather than later.
