Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Rockwall). They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the North Crowley Panthers 37-35. The win was all the more spectacular given the Yellowjackets' disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 43rd, while the Panthers are ranked third).
