Week 1 Games

Many expected big things from the Elysian Fields defense in 2012, and the Yellow Jackets showed why on Friday night. The stingy Yellow Jackets defense forced three first-half turnovers, which were converted to 21 points, in a 37-22 season opening victory over Corrigan-Camden.

TYLER -- Greg Ward didn't have the pinpoint accuracy John Tyler fans have grown accustomed to, but the senior quarterback still put on a show in the third-ranked Lions' season-opening win Friday night.

GARRISON — Cameron Rodriguez passed for 340 yards and five touchdowns as the Garrison Bulldogs rolled to a 47-21 victory over Hemphill in the season opener Friday night.

CARTHAGE -- After Friday night, the Jacksonville Indians have an undefeated head coach, and a new quarterback.

PALESTINE — The Palestine football team seemed poised to take the steps it needed into the upper echelon of the state’s Class 3A programs.

HENDERSON -- The sibling duo of senior Mike Mitchell and sophomore Mickey Mitchell was too much for Henderson on Friday.
