Friday Night, No Lights!

Texas 6A Football-West Lake Hills Texas-Friday 7PM October 30th 2026. The image above shows the Cedar Ridge crowd shining their cell phones towards an otherwise dark Ebbie Neptune field. Note the stadium lights are not illuminated at 7:35PM.

Just after Westlake scored their third TD, the stadium lights abruptly went dark. That was with 10:40 remaining in the second quarter and Westlake leading 20-7. After some delay, the remainder of the game was officially paused until 12PM tomorrow when Westlake will attempt the extra point.

The outage proximate cause was a blown transformer in front of Chaparral Stadium on Camp Craft Road. See image below.
