Thanks to the Division 1/Division 2 breaks in Texas high school football, which literally only makes sense for Conference 6A, last Friday night’s (11/6) regular season finale between Cedar Ridge and Round Rock meant nothing in terms of the playoffs. Both teams were locked into their respective divisions and seeded within those divisions.
But both teams wanted momentum heading into the postseason and lots of folks were curious to see how previously undefeated Cedar Ridge was going to react after their loss the week before to Westlake. The Raiders bounced back nicely, holding off the rival Dragons 35-32 in our VYPE Austin CenTex Game of the Week.
It was back and forth all night.
Senior Dov Stickler’s 1-yard run capped off a 60-yard drive followed by senior Santiago Irizarry’s 31-yard field goal staked the Dragons to a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter. Moments later, sophomore Deondre Crank’s (13-97, TD) 45-yard run put the Raiders on the board. After Cedar Ridge’s defense forced a turnover on downs, senior Dylan Snoga connected with junior Zaccai Williams (6-115, TD) on a 20-yard pass to put the Raiders on top for the first time. But Round Rock senior Ryan Sirwaitis (12-76, TD) answered from 2-yards out and Round Rock led 17-14 at the half.
The Raiders seemingly took control in the second half. A 20-yard Snoga to senior Terrez Harrison touchdown strike gave them the lead for good at 21-17. After senior Ayden Obrien-Brown’s fumble recovery stopped Round Rock’s ensuing drive at the Cedar Ridge 17-yard line, Snoga (28-35, 343 yds., 4 TD) connected with senior Tyler Burchettt to give the Raiders a 28-17 lead heading into the final frame.
A 25-yard Snoga to senior Devin Patterson touchdown toss following a turnover on downs upped the Raiders’ lead to 35-17, early in the fourth, but Round Rock roared back. Stickler (21-26, 314 Yds., 2 TD) found senior Simon Sylvain (8-167, TD) on a 59-yard strike to pull the Dragons within 11 at 35-24. Round Rock got the ball back again after a missed Cedar Ridge field goal attempt and promptly trimmed their deficit to just three points on a 5-yard Stickler-to-Harper pass and a 2-point conversion.
However, Cedar Ridge recovered the ensuing onside kick to hang on for the win.
Round Rock (6-4) opens the 2026 playoffs at Bowie on Friday night (11/13) while Cedar Ridge (9-1) travels to Dripping Springs. Both games will be broadcast by VYPE crews.
