We Asked, You Answered: Performance of the Night Nominee –
JORDAN ROGERS
La Vega quarterback Jordan Rogers has himself a game! He had 5 total touchdowns, 199 yards rushing and 126 yards passing, leading the Waco La Vega Pirates to a 42-24 win on the road against Stephenville and keeping his team in first place in District 5-4A.
The Pirates got off to a slow start. They were up 14-10 after a 37-yard touchdown pass by Rogers. Rogers and the Pirates took control quickly in the third quarter with Rogers throwing a 61-yard touchdown to JaiBrian Bouye, and then scoring on a touchdown run on the next possession to go up 28-10. The Stephenville Yellow Jackets fought back and cut the lead to 28-17, but then Rogers put the game out of reach with a 51-yard touchdown run.
La Vega is 29-4 over the last two years and is coming off of a State Championship. They graduated many key starters, including 7 on defense. They have reloaded and find themselves 5-1. Their scheduled game next week against Brownwood has been canceled and they will be awarded the win, making them officially 6-1. They finish the season with Midlothian Heritage and Alvarado. Their only loss is to Argyle, 35-7, but Argyle is the best team in the state in 4A. With Jordan Rogers leading the offense, the Pirates will have a chance to make it back to the state title game.
