ARLINGTON — With many prognosticators expecting a low-scoring rock fight in Friday’s Class 4A Division I state title game between Stephenville and Kilgore, the game delivered precisely that.
Trot Jordan rushed for a game-high 86 yards and threw for 78 and one touchdown to lead Stephenville (16-0) to a 10-0 win, closing the season with the seventh state title in program history.
Limiting Kilgore to only 150 yards in total offense, the Yellow Jackets broke a scoreless tie at the 11:08 mark of the third quarter when Jordan hit Adan Jergins with a 40-yard TD pass.
It proved to be the game-winner for the ‘Jackets, who took the title with just 251 yards in total offense, 173 of which were on the ground.
