MESQUITE -- K'Lon Warren tossed a pair of touchdown passes in his first start at quarterback, leading John Tyler to a 29-14 win over Mesquite on Friday night at E.H. Hanby Stadium.

It was the second consecutive District 11-6A victory for John Tyler (4-2, 2-1).

The JT quarterback also led the team with 49 yards on 10 rushing attempts, while Street had four catches for 106 yards. He had the team's first touchdown, a 23-yarder in the first quarter, and hauled in a 40-yard scoring reception in the fourth.

Michael Givens-Washington and Victor Campbell Jr. added touchdown runs for the Lions.

Mesquite (1-5, 0-3) was limited to 203 yards of total offense.

Darrick Childs returned a John Tyler fumble 25 yards for a touchdown, and Tylon Sanders added a 2-yard touchdown run in the Skeeters' 14-point opening quarter.

Both teams return to action Oct. 20 after their bye weeks. Mesquite plays at Tyler Lee (3-3, 0-3), while John Tyler hits the road to face Rockwall-Heath (5-1, 3-0).
