Highland Park makes statement with convincing victory over Rockwall

Rockwall may have been the number 12 team in 6A after an impressive win over Southlake Carroll the week before, but Highland Park, the number two team in 5A Division I, came ready to do battle on Friday night.

Highland Park dominated from the very first kick of the ball and never looked back, jumping out to a 26-0 lead. Quarterback Brayden Schager led the way offensively with six total touchdowns on the night. He threw for 313 yards and three touchdowns and added 26 rushing yards and three more touchdowns on the ground.

The Scot defense also limited Rockwall quarterback Braedyn Locke to only 154 yards passing and came up with a pick-six in the third quarter as linebacker George Wright intercepted a screen pass and took it to the house en route to a 46-18 Highland Park victory.

It was a complete performance by Highland Park and evidence that its dynasty at the 5A level is still very much alive and well.  The Highland Park Scot’s next game is against Sherman, on the 30th.  The Sherman Bearcats are 1-3 and play tonight against Wylie East.
