The team also got some help courtesy of Riley Wormley, who rushed for 61 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries.
The win was the fifth in a row for Southlake Carroll, bringing their record for this year to 13-1. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 56.6 points per game. As for Byron Nelson, their defeat dropped their record down to 13-1.
