Stephenville, TX– It took the Jackets a little while to get going, but once they had “righted the ship,” it became a very one-sided affair. The Jackets would feed off of a large homecoming crowd to win 48-7 over Lubbock Cooper.  The Jackets finished with 248 yards passing and 138 yards rushing. While the total yardage of 386 is not a huge number compared to typical Jacket outings. Cooper played keep away by holding the ball for long periods of time and the Jackets continued to score on quick drives.

Trot Jordan would throw for 248 yards on 16 of 19 attempts. Three of his throws would be caught for touchdowns and he would also have a 26 yard TD run as well. Zyler McClendon would rush for 65 yards and punch in two scores. He would also catch three passes for 35 yards. Caleb Gleason would carry the ball five times for 22 yards and his first touchdown of the season. Caleb Monk would lead the receiving corps with 101 yards receiving on seven catches. Hudson DeVivo would have his first catch of the season, a five yard touchdown grab. Austin Jergins continued to be a touchdown maker, pulling in two catches, both touchdowns. He would have 59 yards receiving. Pecos Tally would have two grabs for 32 yards and Jhett Banuelos would also have a 12 yard catch.

The War Dog defense held the Pirates to 144 yards. The Jackets also forced a fumble with it being knocked out by Ethan Schindler and recovered by Jonathon Filio. Stephenville would have three sacks on the night.

The Jackets go to 3-0 on the season and travel next week to Abilene to take on Wylie. The game time is scheduled for 7pm. It will be Wylie’s Homecoming.
