Cedar Hill takes down Aledo in the battle of DFW elites
It was a 6A vs. 5A showdown in Aledo last Friday as Cedar Hill, the 11th ranked team in 6A, took on Aledo, the #2 team in 5A Division II. Cedar Hill quickly jumped out to a 13-3 lead as Kaidon Salter tossed two touchdown passes, including a shovel pass that was deflected into the air right into the hands of offensive lineman Miquel Massey Jr. for a touchdown.
In the second half, Aledo responded. After a 20-yard touchdown run by DeMarco Roberts with nine minutes to go in the fourth, the Cedar Hill lead was down to 20-17. The Longhorns were not about to be denied after leading all night, however, as running back Kevin Young, Jr. broke off a 20-yard touchdown run of his own with less than two minutes to go to seal a 27-17 victory for Cedar Hill.
Salter led the way yet again for the Cedar Hill offense with 241 yards passing and 128 yards rushing. And with Salter’s playmaking ability, Cedar Hill will continue to be a dangerous opponent, especially when the playoffs roll around.
