Video: Top 10 Games of the WeekCedar Hill (Cedar Hill, Texas) at Carroll (Southlake, Texas)
Friday, 7:30 p.m. Central timeWhy it's big: Among the 352 playoff games being played in Texas this weekend, no other contest can match the luster of this one. Two teams with a combined nine trips to state championship games the last 14 seasons going head-to-head in round one.
Carroll (8-2) has made it to at least the second week of the playoffs every season since 2000. A loss Friday would give the Dragons only their third season with less than 10 wins since 2002.
Cedar Hill (9-1) has a tough road ahead to reach a state championship game for the fourth consecutive season. The Longhorns were nationally ranked before an upset loss to Mansfield on Oct. 29 that cost them the District 8-6A championship.
Names to watch: In addition to an explosive offense averaging more than 43 points per game, Carroll has a formidable defense that features a pair of Big 12 recruits in the secondary. Senior cornerback
Obi Eboh has verbally committed to Texas and junior free safety
Robert Barnes is an Oklahoma commit.
