Central Texas High School Football Rankings: Cedar Ridge and Westlake Remain Top Contenders in 6A

Week 9 of the Central Texas high school football season saw significant momentum for several programs, as Cedar Park, Cedar Ridge, and Wimberley all secured crucial district victories to maintain their undefeated records. A major highlight of the week was Westlake’s victory over Lake Travis in the highly anticipated “Battle of the Lakes.”

The Timberwolves earned at least a share of the District 24-6A title following a 26-13 win against East View. Meanwhile, the Raiders dominated rival Stony Point with a 68-29 victory, and the Texans asserted control over District 14-4A Division II by defeating Lago Vista 27-7.
