ARLINGTON -- Will Davis caused and recovered a fumble that set up quarterback Kenny Hill's 7-yard go-ahead scoring run -- one of his four touchdowns -- in Southlake Carroll's 36-29 victory over Fort Bend Hightower in the Class 5A Division I state championship game Saturday.

Hill, named the game's most valuable offensive player, scored two rushing touchdowns and two passing and accounted for 345 total yards from scrimmage for the Dragons (16-0), who won the school's eighth state football championship in front of 42,896 at Cowboys Stadium.

Hill, a junior, was 19-of-24 passing for 229 yards. Davis, named the game's most valuable defensive player, had eight tackles and was part of a key sack of Hurricanes quarterback Bralon Addison, forcing a punt on what turned out to be Hightower's last possession.

Sabian Holmes had 138 yards on 11 catches and a touchdown for Carroll.

Addison, with 184 yards rushing, scored two touchdowns -- one on an 80-yard run -- for Fort Bend Hightower (13-3), which was making its second championship-game appearance.

The Hurricanes held a nine-point lead when Hill found Holmes on a 59-yard touchdown pass over the middle to cut Hightower's edge to 23-21.

The Dragons went ahead for the first time since an early 3-0 lead on Hill's 25-yard scoring strike to Corey Kemp with 2:49 left in the third quarter.

Addison also had a touchdown pass to Ryan Nelson. Jaquinn Henderson had a 5-yard touchdown run for the Hurricanes' first score.
