HOUSTON – Trust is a big deal, especially between collegiate and high school football head coaches in Texas.

Following two run-ins with the University of Tennessee police, former Cedar Hill football star Kaidon Salter announced his departure from the Vols' football program back in June on his social media accounts:

It's the final Friday of the girls' basketball season as the playoffs are bearing down on us. The boys have one more full week after this week before the playoffs start a week after the girls'. There are plenty of great games still to wind down the seasons, including this weekend with a number of Power Ranking matchups from our last set of rankings.

Once again, Katy, which has looked like vintage Katy this year, made things miserable on both sides of the ball for Cedar Hill on the way to an emphatic 51-14 win - Katy's ninth state championship and the first since 2015. But once the dam broke on Cedar Hill's defense, Katy just poured it on. No matter what Cedar Hill tried to throw at Katy in the first half, nothing worked, and nearly everything worked for Katy on the way to a 24-0 halftime lead. The Tigers lead Cedar Hill 24-0 with :36 seconds left in the second quarter. Cedar Hill scored a few plays later but it was too little, too late.

They're baaaaaaaaaaack! For the first time since their 2015 6A-DII State Championship, the Katy Tigers have returned to Arlington to play for a State Championship. The Tigers will face off against Cedar Hill tomorrow evening to play for their ninth Texas High School Football State Championship. This week, VYPE spoke with longtime Katy Head Coach Gary Joseph about the upcoming game, their incredible season, and what it's going to take to win their ninth trophy.

First up is Cedar Hill, which meets Katy for the fourth time since 2012. Outside of an overtime thriller against Rockwall-Heath in the Regional Finals, Cedar Hill has somewhat flown under the radar this season. And on the back of its star quarterback Kaidon Salter, Cedar Hill back near the top of the mountain. Quietly and efficiently, Cedar Hill marched through its schedule with its only blemish against Duncanville. If Cedar Hill cannot keep Katy's offense from marching up and down the field, it'll be a long day.

In the area round last year, Cedar Hill got off to the hottest of starts against Denton Guyer taking a 27-7 lead at halftime and then 41-14 midway through the third quarter. Denton Guyer then rolled on and became a state finalist last year. Denton Guyer used its second walk-off, rushing touchdown by Eli Stowers to down Prosper this season. Outside of last week's game, Cedar Hill has dominated during its playoff run. Cedar Hill wins 38-34

And just like that we're down to the final two weekends of the Texas high school football season. With Ewers' career day, Brady Boyd also had a career day with 17 receptions for 261 yards and 4 touchdowns. Cedar Hill Escapes with OT Win Over HeathCedar Hill 27, Rockwall-Heath 24If everything could go wrong for Cedar Hill on offense, it pretty much did. Cedar Hill had three opportunities in the fourth quarter with the game tied at 21 to end it in regulation. With the win, Cedar Hill is in the semifinals and will play Denton Guyer in at 1 p.m. Saturday at McKinney ISD Stadium.

Let's look back at some of the most intriguing headlines from the week that was. The Belt Line 3-PeatFor the third straight season, Cedar Hill won the Battle of the Belt Line and for the second straight year, the game came down to the wire as Cedar Hill took down DeSoto 49-42. Cedar Hill, which entered the week ranked No. The win gave Cedar Hill the 11-6A Zone B title and re-validated its legitimacy as a top team in the state. This win just shows Cedar Hill will be a threat in the playoffs.

We look at intriguing games this week and the big question facing each one. The big question: Can Rockwall keep the early-season mojo going and get its first win in this series since 2017? The big question: After getting the big win last week over Celina, can Aubrey show up and not let off the gas? Cedar Hill had its game last week canceled and won a tough game against Arlington to open the season. The big question: Can Cleburne show it is a legit team against a heavily-favored Timberview team?

There is quite the bevy of games this week across the DFW high school football landscape. Allen doesn't lose at home and it fended off a couple of tough early-season challengers a year ago in Cedar Hill and Dickinson. 15 Cedar Hill vs. No. Arlington dominated Mansfield last week in a 30-point win but will face quite the test in against Cedar Hill. 1-ranked 5A DI team, Denton Ryan, meets its cross-town rival Denton Guyer, which is ranked No.

ARLINGTON, Texas – Some might say the Katy Tigers were not truly tested this year, but were challenged in the state championship against Cedar Hill in Arlington Saturday. The Tigers are no stranger to the stage, but it was their first time back in three years. But that's when Adam Taylor would take over while running over anybody in his way. In the 2nd quarter, the Tigers were down 3-zip when Adam Taylor soared in from a yard out. He led Katy to win their 7th title in school history, 35-24.
