Week 2 games

MINEOLA -- It was the Kade Clayton show Friday night. The junior wide receiver scored four touchdowns to propel the Tyler Grace Cougars over the Mineola Yellowjackets, 56-28.

After two years apart, Palestine and Jacksonville renewed their rivalry Friday night at the Tomato Bowl, with Palestine putting up the game's first 30 points on its way to a 37-20 win.

TYLER -- One year can make a big difference, especially in the case of both Whitehouse and Chapel Hill.

TROUP — From the opening kickoff Friday night at Tiger Stadium, the Troup Tigers took complete control in a 40-0 shutout of West Rusk.

CARROLLTON -- The first quarter was a defensive struggle. For the Gilmer Buckeyes, the rest of the game was a struggle, period.

Lancaster players rushed the field. The Tigers thought they had just upset the No. 1 team in 4A, but John Tyler got a timeout with two seconds remaining on the clock, giving the Lions one last shot from the Lancaster 1-yard line.

ATHENS — The Athens Hornets evened their record at 1-1 on the season with a 21-7 win over the Spring Hill Panthers on Friday night at Bruce Field.

The Carthage Bulldogs were in unfamiliar territory following last week's home loss to Jacksonville.  Facing the possibility of an 0-2 start, the No. 9 Bulldogs responded with a sharp effort in defeating the Lindale Eagles, 38-21, at Bulldog Stadium on Friday night.

LONGVIEW -- Special teams and defense will win a lot of football games, and that's exactly what Longview got Friday night.
