Cedar Hill-Duncanville football liveblogging

CH 42-17

A likely battle for the District 7-5A title is on tap in Cedar Hill's Longhorn Stadium between two old rivals.

1Q 9:05 -- DV strikes early and first. CH bites on a hook and go fake and Divan Ealy hits Zavian Handy for a 60 yard TD pass.

1Q 4:59 CH marches into DV territory on its opening drive then stalls. But, Eduardo Camara hits a 50-yard field goal, his first 50-yarder of the year.

1Q end of quarter -- still 7-3 DV, with DV driving after a swap of three-and-outs.

2Q 10:02 Duncanville QB Divan Ealy runs 12 yards to daylight. DV up 14-3.

2Q 5:02 Aided by a questionable pass interference call, the Longhorns get their first touchdown of the night. The Panther defense had sniffed out a bubble screen to Ben Malena, so QB Driphus Jackson pulled the ball back down, saw Duncanville had no weakside contain, and ran in 25 yards for the TD.

2Q 1:35 A gamechanger leads to the first Longhorn lead of the game.
Elisha Olabode blocks a DV punt and Aaron Benson recovers. First play, Le'Derian Cockrane takes a counter/inside reverse from the 10 to the 2, gets hit and fumbles. John Coleman recovers in the end zone and its 17-14 CH.

2Q 0:17 Duncanville, after poor field position and a penalty on the kickoff, gets nailed for holding in the end zone for a Longhorn safety.

Halftime and its Cedar Hill, 19-14.

3Q 6:51 CH has a blocked field goal.

3Q 4:15 Teddy Coughran hits a DV field goal; 19-17 now.
DV fans can be forgiven for thinking they're playing 11-on-12 football. A holding call forced Duncanville to settle for three points. So far, the penalty yards are DV 62 and CH not a one.

3Q 0:47 The Horns expand their lead just before the end of the quarter. In the first Duncanville defensive breakdown of the night, Ben Malena is able to power just outside left guard, get through the linebackers untouched, and run in a 43-yard touchdown.

4Q 7:39 Turn out the lights, the party's over. DV had a long drive, stalled out inside the Longhorn 10 then tried a FG. But a Longhorn penalty gave them first and goal. DV still couldn't punch it in, and tried the FG again. But, Coughran's kick was blocked, Elisha Olabode picked it up, then lateraled to Gerard Anderson. Some 96 yards later, Anderson was ion the end zone.

Then Horns then picked DV's Divan Early, and we're inside six minutes left.

4Q 4:43 Eduardo Camara hits a 35-yarder and the defense can tee off on the pass rush now.
