Cedar Hill-Euless Trinity football blogging

We have Euless Trinity, ranked the NO. 1 high school team in the nation by ESPN, is playing fellow suburban Dallas team Cedar Hill, which I cover as my day job as a suburban Dallas newspaper editor.

We've got a barnburner here, with Trinity up 14-7 at the end of the first quarter. It could be worse; Cedar Hill's Longhorns got a controversial fumble recovery well into Trinity Trojan territory and scored a play later.

Update 8:11: Make it 17-7. Trinity recovered a fumble at the Longhorn 12 just before the end of the quarter, but couldn't cash in for a touchdown.

Update 8:34: Looking more and more all Trinity. At 2:47 before halftime, Tevin Williams scores from 24 yards out; a bad snap on the PAT and its 23-7.

Update 8:45: The score is still 23-7 at half and Cedar Hill has less than 100 yards in total offense. If not for the controversial fumble recovery, we wouldn't have a game at all.

Update 9:28: Trinity has posted touchdowns on its first two drives of the third quarter. With 5 minutes still left in the quarter, we're now at 37-7 and officially in the area of "rout."

Update 9:48: We're in garbage time and it's still 37-7.
