RHS Football Team wins Rockwall 34 vs. McKinney 14 
Sophomore quarterback Will Reed passed for 170 yards and three touchdowns, all to Xavier Castille, as Rockwall defeated McKinney Boyd 34-14 at Wilkerson-Sanders Stadium. 
Offensively, Castille finished with eight catches for 127 yards but started his second touchdown lined up as the quarterback on a beautifully run trick play on 4th-and-10. Reed sneaked onto the field late, lined up as a receiver on the far left, and took a long lateral pass from Castille. Reed then launched a pass from the left sideline to the right sideline to a streaking Castille, who broke four tackles and scored from 29 yards out to give Rockwall a 13-0 lead with 10:06 left in the first half. 
Defensively, the Yellowjackets were outstanding with great team defense. Other critical defensive plays include 2 interceptions one by Ty Thomas and one by Alex Montanez. The defense was a huge part of the win. Great job!!
