Undefeated Cedar Ridge has two massively important games coming up at Westlake and against arch-rival Round Rock. With a win over Lake Travis already in the bank, those two remaining games will likely decide who wins District 25-6A.
But first…
Yes, but first the Raiders have to get past a stubborn Stony Point squad that sits just a half-game out of a playoff spot and could give itself a post-season shot with an upset win.
That makes Friday night’s (10/23) VYPE Austin Central Texas Game of the Week between longtime RRISD rivals Cedar Ridge and Stony Point at Dragons Stadium an intriguing and critically important clash.
Cedar Ridge (3-0, 7-0) has been heavily relying on the arm of senior quarterback Dylan Snoga (90-135, 1,389 Yds., 17 TD, INT) and a fleet of wide receivers, five of whom have double digit catches on the season. When second-year head coach Bryan Vardeman’s club needs to run, the bulk of the workload falls on senior Devin Patterson (90-481, 5.3 YPC, 10 TD). Taken together, the Raiders have averaged 46 points and a collegiate-like 475.9 yards per game.
Seniors Ayden Obrien-Brown (87 tackles, 8 TFL, 5.5 Sacks), Jeremiah Passmore (44 Tackles, 13 TFL, 9.0 Sacks) and Powers Wallis (60 Tackles, 5.0 TFL) have been a force for the Cedar Ridge defense.
While not as powerful on paper as the four teams they’re chasing, Stony Point (2-2, 3-5) has enough weapons to give the Raiders a game with a superb team effort. First-year Head Coach Dustin Pleasant’s Tigers have been pass-heavy on offense behind senior quarterback Brady Davis (76-128, 1,288 Yds., 11 TD, 3 INT). Senior Olamide Aroworade (48-727, 15.1 YPC, 6 TD) has been Davis’s favorite target.
Junior Aiden Loyden (121-574, 4.7 YPC, 9 TDs) runs just enough to keep the defense honest.
The Tigers’ defensive stats are incomplete at press time but seniors Dashun Jones and Aaden Pemberton, along with sophomore Finn Morris are amongst the team leaders.
Cedar Ridge wants a big win to generate momentum heading into two games they hope will prove the win over Lake Travis wasn’t a one-off. Stony Point needs a win to stay alive in the playoff chase. The stakes are high in this Game of the Week.

Lewisville quarterback Laykon Brassfield (10) celebrates after Lewisville beats Flower Mound Marcus on Sept. 25.
Ahead of a showdown with Flower Mound set for Oct. 23, Lewisville quarterback Laykon Brassfield won his appeal with the UIL.
In Austin, UIL officials met Oct. 22, dealing with four eligibility appeals, and the Fighting Farmers learned they can play the Edmond North transfer again.
The Oklahoma transfer led the Farmers to a 3-0 start to the season, before the District 5-6A District Executive Committee ruled him ineligible over residency concerns on Sept. 25.
The DEC voted 5-2 that Brassfield not move for athletic purposes, but voted 7-0 that Brassfield did not meet the criteria to be a resident in Lewisville ISD or Lewisville High School, according to previous VYPE DFW reporting.
The junior has completed 74% of his passes this year, throwing for 742 yards with 13 touchdowns and 1 interception. He’s also run for 124 yards and 2 scores for the Farmers.
In his absence, the Farmers have won all four games and technically are undefeated this season on the field. As of Thursday afternoon, it is unclear if those previously vacated wins will return for the team. Lewisville is 3-0 in district play, tied with Denton Braswell for first place.
The Fighting Farmers have three games left in the regular season. Friday against 7-1 Flower Mound, then a home game vs. Braswell and closes on the road at Little Elm on Nov. 5.
The Brassfield presented updated documentation showing it had fully consolidated into a roughly 1,200-square-foot Lewisville apartment. Brassfield’s younger siblings had also been withdrawn from Argyle ISD.
According to the Dallas Morning News, Brassfield’s two younger brothers were enrolled at Argyle ISD, which Brassfield’s father, Jonathan, testified was bought for Laykon’s grandfather in the DEC meeting.
Jonathan Brassfield said he unenrolled his two younger sons at Argyle ISD after questions were raised and the family is living in an apartment in Lewisville. At the appeal, his father told UIL the family has moved into a bigger apartment in Lewisville.
On Tuesday, the Stony Point Tigers volleyball team took on the Round Rock Dragons in a tough district matchup.
