Allen is 3-0 against Cedar Hill since September of 2017, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Friday. The Allen Eagles will be playing at home against the Cedar Hill Longhorns at 7:00 p.m. The two teams are strolling into their matchups after big wins in their previous games.
Allen is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on Friday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Midland Legacy 61-0 at home. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 15th, while the Rebels are ranked 60th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Brady Bricker was nothing short of spectacular: he threw for 272 yards and four touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes. Jaden Hambric was another key player, rushing for 120 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Allen was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 532 total yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Midland Legacy only gained 250.
Meanwhile, Cedar Hill had to kick off their season on the road on Friday, but they showed no ill effects. They breezed by Midlothian on the road to the tune of 40-7.
Dayshun Reese had a dynamite game for Cedar Hill, rushing for 171 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries. The team also got some help courtesy of Juelz Carter, who rushed for 88 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.
Another reason for the win was Cedar Hill's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for six sacks. In that department, Jalen Brewster was the leader with two. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up two sacks and making seven total tackles (6.0 for loss). Desman Manuel was another major factor on D, picking up a sack and making five total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Allen strolled past Cedar Hill in their previous meeting back in September of 2021 by a score of 35-16. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Cedar Hill's Cedric Harden, who rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 159 yards on nine of 24 attempts. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Allen to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
