     Rocksprings -- After struggling through the first four weeks of the season, the Sabinal Yellowjackets got things rolling last Friday, Sept. 27.

    The Jackets built a five-touchdown lead over Rocksprings during the first three quarters, and went on to a 42-6 win, to open play in District 14-2A-II.

     Sabinal (1-4 season, 1-0 district) will host Center Point this Friday, Oct. 4, at 7 p.m. for Homecoming 2024.

     The Jackets earned their first win of the season with a score in the first quarter, and two each in the second and third. 

     Junior quarterback Aiden Tinker had a hand in all six Sabinal touchdowns, rushing for four and passing for the other two. Tinker rushed for 141 yards on 19 carries, and passed for 102, including scoring tosses to Blake Beza (for 60 yards) and to Sergio Vasquez.

     The Sabinal defense had two takeaways, with an interception from Sebastian Quintanilla, along with a fumble caused by Angel De Luna which Julian Sanchez recovered. Quintanilla and Jace Clark led the Jackets’ defense with 11 tackles each.
