Top Austin-Area Football Players Headline Future Recruiting Classes

It’s doubtful anyone could have predicted that Cedar Park vs. Vandegrift would become one of the most eagerly anticipated Texas high school football annual showdowns when they met for the first time in 2010. Cedar Park, after all, was building towards its apex as a 4A/5A power last decade, culminating in 4A and 5A state championships in 2012 and 2015.

Vandegrift, on the other hand, was a brand-new program carved primarily from Cedar Park HS in 2009 and initially practicing at Cedar Park’s facilities. For years, the one-sided “rivalry” was literally Big Brother vs. Little Brother.
