Westlake head coach Todd Dodge has family bragging rights, at least until the coming Fall, after his football program bested Southlake Carroll, which is led by his son Riley Dodge, Saturday night for the Texas 6A Division I state championship. The Chaps, who won last year’s 6A Division II title, beat the Dragons 52-34 for the school’s second straight state title.
IT'S OVER!
