GARLAND – Wylie East dominated again in its 66-10 victory over Garland on Friday night at Williams Stadium.
The Raiders (8-1, 6–1 District 9-6A) used a 59-point first half en route to the win. Michael Henderson III, who rushed for a season-high 190 yards on 11 carries, scored five touchdowns to lead the team.
Jamal Alford opened the scoring for Wylie East with a 37-yard touchdown run on a fake punt. From there the offensive began. Wiley East scored 21 points in the first quarter and then 38 more in the second.
Wylie East played incredible defense, limiting Garland to just 93 total yards of offense and just six first downs. At the end of the first half, Garland quarterback Carlos Mojica had just one completion for three yards.
The Raiders will look to end their season with a bang next Friday when they take on Wylie in the Crosstown Showdown. The game will determine which of the two teams will finish second in District 9-6A.
