The RYCA Football League 6th Grade competition came down to the Rockwall Jackets from Nebbie & the Rockwall Jackets from Hays. Both teams played each other early in the season with the Hays team coming out on top. In the rematch, Nebbie was victorious. So this past Saturday, the rubber match would feature both teams competing at Rockwall High School. The winner would earn the right to play HHCA Heath Hawks at Wilkerson Sanders Stadium while the loser would conclude the season with a 3rd place season. Both teams featured high power offenses, and would put the ball in the end zone. However, the game would come down to key stops on defense. The team with the strongest defense would win the game. The final score was 50-42, but this did not reflect the entire game. Early on, the Nebbie Jackets would recover a fumble on the opening kickoff. Then with a few solid adjustments they controlled the entire game through the first 3 quarters until backups concluded the game. The RYCA Nebbie Jackets defense won the battle on the line, and continued to make key stops at the corner. Joseph Schaefer was awarded the defensive player of the game due to a key interception which allowed the Nebbie Jackets to put the game out of hand while he also led the teams in tackles.
