ROCKWALL -- Jacob Clark accounted for three touchdowns and Rockwall stifled John Tyler's offense in the Yellowjackets' dominating 48-7 win in the District 11-6A opener on Friday.

John Tyler quarterback Devlin Woods was held to 72 yards passing on 7 of 26 completions. Hawkins was JT's primary source of offense with nine carries for 96 yards, including the 61-yard touchdown.

After a scoreless first quarter, Rockwall erupted for three consecutive touchdowns -- an 8-yard run by Clark, a 42-yard pass from Clark to Cameron Crayton and a 6-yard Bailey run -- to give the Yellowjackets a 21-0 lead at halftime.

Rockwall scored another 28 unanswered in the second half, including 38- and 3-yard touchdown runs by Bailey and a 52-yard touchdown pass from Clark to Crayton. Crayton finished the game with four catches for 108 yards and two touchdowns.
