Red Oak falls to Highland Park on the road, 52-35

DALLAS – Red Oak lost against Highland Park back in October of 2024 and unfortunately, they wound up with the same result on Friday, Oct. 3, 2025.

The Scots rolled to victory over Red Oak in a key District 7-5A Division I clash Friday night at Highlander Stadium.

Red Oak’s defeat came despite a true team effort from the offense, with many players turning in solid performances.

Perhaps the best among them was quarterback Billy Middleton, who rushed for 57 yards and a pair of scores, and threw for 153 yards and one touchdown.

Daylan Johnson helped on the ground, rushing for 93 yards and a touchdown.

Wide receiver Brayden Robinson had 10 catches for 120 yards and a score.

Red Oak’s loss was their third straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 2-3 and 0-1 in District play.

The Hawks host the Joshua Owls on Friday, Oct. 10, and this is Red Oak’s Homecoming game.

The Hawks defeated Joshua last year on the road, but it was a tough road win.
