Rockwall Student Athletes Win with Southwest KIA Rockwall

If you went to a Rockwall High School Football game this season you saw a lot of touchdowns.  After each of those touchdowns, the horn would blare, fans would go wild and the Flag Runners would run the field waving J-F-N-D honoring the boys in Orange for their accomplishment on the field.  The fans in the stand would also hear General Sales Manager of Southwest KIA Rockwall, Joey Wilhoite, show his enthusiasm on the big screen scoreboard enjoying “Another Jacket Touchdown!”

L-R: Braedyn Locke, Joey Wilhoite, Brennan Ray, Coach Trey Brooks, Deyreck Dean, Brandon Morris, and Caden Marshall

Another great thing about the Jackets scoring is that for each touchdown at Wilkerson-Sanders Memorial Stadium the Jacket Backers Booster Club would receive $50 to add to the scholarship total that will be awarded to a select group of high school senior student-athletes.  With offensive weapons such as H-Back Brennan Ray and Wide Receiver Caden Marshall, quarterback Braedyn Locke would help lead the offense to a plethora of touchdowns.  Linebacker Deyreck Dean would even get in the mix scoring a TD himself after a fumble recovery.  By the time the District 6A-10 Yellowjackets defeated the Wylie Pirates for the Bi-District Championship; the grand total that will be awarded is $1700!

Brandon Morris who is the General Manager of Southwest KIA Rockwall was very excited to take on the Jacket Backers Touchdown Challenge.  “I knew I would be seeing a lot of touchdowns this season because Coach Brooks is one of the best offensive minds in football!  It gives me great pleasure to be able to support Rockwall High School and the community.  It’s very important that companies like Southwest KIA support educational opportunities for our students giving them an opportunity to make the most in life” shares Morris.  “I look forward to doing it again next year!”

First Year Head Coach, Trey Brooks adds, “The support of companies like Southwest KIA in Rockwall means so much to our programs at Rockwall High School.  I’m happy that we were able to create a fun promotion that will end up benefiting deserving seniors this year.”

Coach Brooks Jackets finished with an impressive 10-2 record going 6-0 in District with big wins over Dallas Jesuit, Southlake Carroll, crosstown rival Heath, Mesquite, Tyler Legacy, Skyline, Mesquite Horn, North Mesquite and Wylie losing a tough match to top ranked DeSoto in the Area Championship.  The great thing about the Jackets is that the football team will return Locke, Ray, Marshall and Dean who have all been on Varsity since their sophomore seasons.
