The No. 2 Stephenville Yellow Jackets were able to battle back and beat the 2020 State Champion Argyle Eagles (11-2) last Friday night, 17-21.
Argyle was a touchdown ahead (14-7) at the half after scoring 14 in the first quarter. The Yellow Jacket defense didn’t allow the Eagles to get back to the end zone for the rest of the game and recorded two sacks and two interceptions. The only other Argyle points scored were from a field goal in the fourth.
Stephenville’s Ryder Lambert lead the Jacket, throwing completing 14 of 24 for 211 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception. He also carried the ball 11 times for just over 33 yards and another touchdown. Senior Coy Eakin had seven carries for 24 yards and a touchdown, while sophomore Tate Maruska carried the ball 12 times for 59 yards.
