Former Cedar Hill Coach Woods Is Proud to Be Coach Lynnâs Mentor
Cedar Hill Plays for 5th State Championship This Weekend
(CEDAR HILL, TEXAS) Itâs a quiet morning in Whitney, Texas â a community so small that the entire population could fit into Longhorn Stadium.
Retired football coach Robert Woods calls Whitney â 64 miles southwest of Cedar Hill â home. Heâll go for relaxing walks, play a round of golf or admire the views of scenic Lake Whitney.
Although heâs been retired for approximately 15 years, the 69-year-old Woods sometimes reflects upon the success that two assistants that he hired at Cedar Hill have achieved with the Longhorn Football Program.
(CEDAR HILL, TEXAS) As soon as the 2019 Cedar Hill Football Season ended, the questions arose immediately.
The Longhorns had a ton of potential at offensive line, but they were graduating one of the best O-linemen in program history.
Yes, Courtland Ford was heading for prime time Pac-12 Conference Football at the University of Southern California (USC). He now starts as a true freshman for the #15 nationally-ranked USC Trojans.
Cedar Hill had the unquestionable leadership of left guard Carlos Peoples, who committed to New Mexico State over the summer.
But there were four positions up in the air, and as anyone who knows anything about the O-Line, it’s all about teamwork, chemistry and cohesiveness. Players would compete, before the season, for those coveted spots.
