It wasn’t clear early that Cedar Park was going to post such a convincing win, however. After Cooper (12-20, 154, 2 TD, INT) tossed the 30 and 34-yarders to Porter (6-102, 2 TD), Leander’s senior running back Mason Montgomery (12-71, TD) scampered in from 5 yards out to cut the lead in half. But the Lions would get no closer.
Hill’s first 4-yard run score capped off a 12-play, 57-yard drive; his second from 13 yards out – following a missed Leander field goal attempt – put the period on a 13-play, 80-yard march as Cedar Park opened a 29-7 halftime lead.
Cooper’s 4-yard bootleg and conversion boosted the Cedar Park lead to 37-7 before Hill’s final 41-yard dash closed out the offensive output. Hill finished with 202 yards and 3 touchdowns on 22 carries. The Timberwolf defense notched their Safety on a fumbled snap in the end zone to bring the final score to 46-7.
Senior quarterback Ke’Marion Gordon went 15-27 for 185 yards through the air and rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries for Leander.
Leander (2-4 in District 8-5A-1, 3-6 overall) hosts East View Friday (11/7) to close out the season. Cedar Park (5-1, 6-3) clinched a playoff spot with the win. The Timberwolves travel to Birkelbach Field in Georgetown to face undefeated-in-district Georgetown to try and claim a piece of the district crown in a game that VYPE will broadcast.
