Basketball
The Lady Longhorn Varsity team has been playing excellent basketball recently. The team brought home the championship trophy in the inaugural Collin County Roundball Classic held at McKinney Boyd High school. The Lady Longhorns defeated McKinney High, Argyle, McKinney Boyd and a strong Plano West team. Skylar Collins was voted tournament MVP.
Tuesday the team beat a scrappy Plano East team in overtime at East. Ariel Robertson, BreAnna Dawkins and Ariel Robertson led the team in scoring, while Moriah Scott anchored the defense. This win improved the Lady Longhorns’ record to 12-2.
The Lady Longhorns Junior Varsity basketball team improved their record to 10-3 after beating Plano East 38-31 on Tuesday night Dec. 12. They were led by Latroya Lawrence and Senae Dillard both scoring 10 points. Karol House added 8 points for the Lady Longhorns.
The Lady Longhorn Freshman A team has competed in two tournaments – Colleyville Heritage and Skyline and won consolation in each. B team finished 3rd & 4th in their tournament appearances so far. Both teams have performed well and are improving each game. The A team record is 7 – 3, and B team is 6-3.
The freshman boys basketball team defeated Flower Mound Marcus Thursday night 64-42. Larry Ranson scored 17 points. Johnathon Alberrcrombie, Darius Smith, and Willie Clayborne all had 11 and Bryce Pearson scored 7. Dillon Johnson, Craig White and Gasteneaux Fisher all had 2. Read more
High School Playoffs
November 18, 2007
But the best matchup of the second round?
That’s Cedar Hill (8-3) against Southlake Carroll (10-1), a matchup that will end the season for one of the defending 5A champions. It can’t match the appeal of last year’s second-round matchup of Carroll and Euless Trinity, but it should be great.
Especially now that Cedar Hill, which beat Irving MacArthur, 61-24, on Friday, has hit a peak in a season in which a playoff berth was in question. That was after a loss to Arlington three weeks ago.
“That loss really turned the tide for us,” McGuire said. “The guys all kind of started to understand that this all could be coming to an end.”
Instead, it could be the start of something great, which is what the first round of the playoffs were. More than any time in recent memory, the idea that “anything can happen” was true, and that made the weekend memorable.

OSU’s Cole To Play Receiver
October 8, 2007
Dallas Morning News just posted an article about William Cole, the amazing QB from Cedar Hill’s State Championship team:
A new role for freshman William Cole was unveiled in the fourth quarter against Sam Houston State when the high school standout from Cedar Hill lined up at receiver and made his first career reception – an 8-yarder from backup quarterback Bobby Reid.Cole (6-0, 175) started out as a defensive back but made the switch in the middle of last week to shore up depth at receiver. He played both positions and quarterback at Cedar Hill.’We felt he could help us a little bit quicker probably as a wide receiver,’ defensive coordinator Tim Beckman said. ‘We thought that he might be able to catch the ball and make a play in space because he’s a great athlete. And we also knew that William wanted to get on the field.’As a senior, Cole ran for nearly 2,900 yards and passed for more than 1,600 yards as Cedar Hill won the Class 5A state title.”

DeSoto Eases Sting of ‘06 Losses to Cedar Hill
October 6, 2007
Cedar Hill lost the Battle of Belt Line this weekend by a score of 37-30.
DeSoto beat its neighbor by an average of 27 points from 2000-04, so the “Battle of Belt Line” wasn’t really a battle until Cedar Hill won in 2005. The rivalry intensified last year, when Cedar Hill beat DeSoto twice, including a sound whipping in the playoffs.
…
But Friday night, it again became the big brother.
