Boys defeat Highland, win in Lampasas
By KIRK DICKEY
News Editor
The Cedar Hill boys were big
winners this week.
The team faced down four teams
and easily came out ahead in all of
their contests.
In their Nov. 28 game against
Highland Park, the boys dominated
the boards and kept the Scots on the
run.
It was hard not to feel sorry for
the Scots as Cedar Hill jumped out to
a 25-7 first quarter lead. They
seemed hopelessly outmatched
against the Longhorns, who remain
undefeated.
Perennial leading scorer Daniel
Horton was not as on target as most
nights, but still rained in 19. Horton,
who is an accomplished 3-point
shooter, was 1-4 from behind the
arch, but more than made up for it in
defense in the first half.
Chris Williams followed him in
scoring with 13 and added a couple
of harsh rejections to the menu for
the Scots in the first half.
The team dominated all of the
first half, but seemed to back off in
the second and not play as hand in the
second.
“We didn’t do what I wanted to
do in the second half,” Coach David
Milson said.
The team only scored six buckets
in the second half. The rest of the
scoring came off of free throws.
Milson said he would have liked
to have more intensity out of the
guys, but after watching the game
film, he was pleased with the way
they performed.
“1 realize that when you are up 20
it is hard to stay focused,” Milson
said.
Cedar Hill wrapped up the Highland Park offense tight, allowing only 40 points in the game.

Still, Milson said holding
Highland Park to 40 is a big accom-
plishment for the team.
Highland Park 7 7 12 14-40
Cedar Hill 25 13 15 10 -63
Cedar Hill - Jason Horton 2,
Walter Herriott 6, Daniel Horton 19,
Kelvin Williams 9, Alex Terry 6,
Patterson 8, Chris Williams 13.
Cedar Hill went away for the
Lampasas Tournament at the end of
the week. Milson said it was a great
tournament.
“We are playing well,” Milson
said, adding that his starters are all
looking strong.
Floor general Walter Herriott is
also running the show well according
to Milson. He is getting the ball to
the right people and had a combined
19 assists in the first two games of
the tourney.
Cedar Hill played Austin Crockett
in the first round and Williams had
his best game of the year with 18
points. Sixteen of those were in the
first half.
Horton had 21.
Everybody played and all but one
person scored.
Austin Crockett 5 4 18 12-39
Cedar Hill 22 29 13 21 - 85
Cedar Hill next facid
Pfluggerville.
Horton scored 32 and five 3-
pointers in the game. He had 25
points in the first half.
Williams had 14 and Walter
Herriott had 8.
Overall the team had 10 players
score.
Pflyggerville 14 16 12 17-59
Cedar Hill 2523 12 16-76
Cedar Hill demolished Leander in
the final round of the tournament.
Williams had 19 points, as did
Horton. Cedric Brooks, who had
twisted his ankle in the game against
Highland Park, had eight points.
Leander 47

Lion’s Tourney coming Dec. 7-9
By KIRK DICKEY
News Editor
Despite a change in line-up from
the previous year, organizers
believe the second annual Cedar
Hill Lions Club Basketball
Tournament will be a success.
The tournament, slated for Dec.
7-9, will feature teams from Trinity
Christian, West Mesquite,
Midlothian, Cedar Hill, Denison,
Lampasas, Abilene and Lindale.
The line-up has the same num-
ber of teams as last year, but
Lancaster and Hallsville decided to
forgo the tourney. And Since
DeSoto is in the same district with
Cedar Hill, they didn’t necessarily
want to play in the tournament.
But even without local talent,
the tournament is expected to have
some serious competition.
Cedar Hill Coach David Milson
said Lampasas and West Mesquite
are both really talented this year.
He also said Abilene and
Denison are solid year-in-year-out.
Both teams are contenders for their
district playoff spot.
“It should be a good tourna-
ment,” Mislon said. “I don’t think it
is going to be a breeze.”

Cedar Hill will play the first
game of the tournament at 2 p.m.
Thursday and organizers expect
about 250 to attend throughout the
tourney.
Milson said he appreciates all of
the help local businesses have given
to the tournament
The Lions club is responsible for
furnishing trophies and supplying
food for the hospitality room,
according to Jackson. Various
restaurants donate to the event,
such as Macaroni Grill and Chick-
fil-A.
“The Lion’s Club is doing an
excellent job and we are excited
about it,” Milson said.
Ladies win big in Cowtown
Cedar Hill girls defeat No. 9 and 10 ranked teams in state
By KIRK DICKEY
News Editor
The Cedar Hill Lady Longhorns
had a stellar week last week, defeat-
ing the No. 9 and 10 ranked teams in
the state and beating all comers in the
Best Maid Cowtown Classic.
The team’s first challenge came
from Skyline, Nov. 28. At the start of
the season, the team had been ranked
No. 10.
Th6 Skyline team matched up
well with Cedar Hill size-wise, but
they were tough and quick, according
to head Coach Jim Murphy.
“It was a physical battle,” Murphy
said. “They were really tough
inside.”
Murphy said they adjusted and
Cedar Hill’s big players outplayed
Skyline’s. Cedar Hill was able to pull
away in the last quarter to seal the
game which they had been leading all
night long.
Cedar Hill had been working on
their press attack - trying to get
through the full court press.
“At the tournament not many peo-
ple pressed us, but Skyline did and
jwe handled it pretty well,” Murphy
Cedar HIM 12 7 14 23 -56

Cedar Hill - Jolie McCabe 2,
Ashley Paul 8, Kristy Newman 9,
Raashida Birmingham 4, Kadi Creel

Rola Ogunoye 19.
Best Maid
Cowtown
Classic
Cedar Hill’s first game in the
Cowtown Classic, against Dunbar
was “sloppy,” according to Murphy.
“We had a hard time getting start-
ed,” he said. “We finally got going
pretty well in the second quarter.”
Cedar Hill missed a lot of easy
shots in the game, but Dunbar did not
make it easy on the Lady Homs. The
team did a lot of “unorthodox” things
during the game that Cedar Hill was
not used to playing against that style.
Danese Baker lead scoring with
16 points in the game, followed by
Rola Ogunoye, who had 15.
Dunbar 10 5 4 10- 29
Cedar Hill 10 18 18 18- 64
The Ladies’ next matchup, against
Southlake Carroll, was a little harder.
Murphy said they looked like they
were a really good shooting team, but
Cedar Hill played really good man
defense and didn’t give up many
threes.
“They love shooting the three and
they only made two against us,”
Murphy said.
Cedar Hill also pressured them
and they couldn’t handle the full-
court press very well.
Ogunoye lead scoring with 14 fol-
lowed by Baker with 12 and
Newman with 9.
Southlake Car. 8 9 1018-45
Cedar Hill 17 8 1619-60
The biggest game of the tourna-
ment for Cedar Hill came in the
semi-final round, against
Weatherford. Before this game, the
Weatherford team was undefeated
and winning by an average of 30
points per game.
Cedar Hill was down 35-25 at
halftime. Amber Henson made a
three that put Cedar Hill ahead for
the first time in the third quarter.
They came out, used a pressure
defense in the second half and beat
them 30-17 for the rest of the game.
Weatherford’s best player, T’Nae
Thiel, is an AAU All-American post
player, but Kim Armistead and Erica
Grant both blocked some of her
shots. Cedar Hill was able to shut her
and her younger sister down in the
second half.
“We made some plays in the sec-
ond half,” Murphy said.
Ashley Paul lead scoring with 19
points. She was followed by
Ogunoye who had 16.
Weatherford 16 19 10 7 -52
Cedar HMI 15 10 19 11-55
Keller also provided a tough
matchup in the finals of the tourna-
ment.
“They played a defense we hadn’t
played all year and it took us a while
to adjust to it,” Murphy said.
But by the second quarter, Cedar
Hill was in control. Jolie McCabe
made three 3-pointers in that quarter.
“McCabe is a really good shooter
given the open shot and their zone
defense gave her the open shot,”
Murphy said.
After that, the team scored a lot
off of their defense and changed
presses at the end of the game caus-
ing turnovers.
Ogunoye had 22 points and 11
rebounds in the game.
Keller 7 7 1512-41
Cedar Hill 6 1913 16-54
Cedar Hill - Jolie McCabe 9,
Ashley Paul 4, Amber Henson 2,
Danese Baker 2, Raashida
Birmingham 2, Kadi Creel 2, Erica
Grant 5, Kim Armistead 6, Rola
Ogunoye 22.
