GARLAND — Jayden Ellis blocked a field goal and ran it back for a touchdown to open scoring for Rowlett in their 21-6 win over Garland Lakeview Centennial (4-4, 3-3 in District 9-6A) at Homer B. Johnson Stadium on Friday.

The score was a preview of the defensive battle to come. Rowlett (3-6, 3-4 in 9-6A) would go on to sack Centennial quarterback Jonathan Hester four times in the game. Centennial also stymied Rowlett drives repeatedly.

Rowlett's GerMyius Benson led rushing for all teams with 86 yards on 16 carries, including an 11-yard touchdown late in the second quarter.

Quarterback Andrew Ellison connected with James Okolo to put Rowlett's final score on the board. Ellison completed 8-of-19 passes for 85 yards.

Centennial's Hester found Julius Spencer for his team's lone touchdown late in the second quarter, with Spencer juking a defender before dashing 17 yards into the end zone.
