The Westwood Rockets football team races onto the field to start the 2016 Blue-White Game
A power transformer, which supplied electricity to the lights at Dyer-Bouldin Field, shorted out on Thursday night minutes prior to the start of the Westwood Football’s annual Blue/White game. The lack of lights, shortened the scrimmage but did not lessen the electricity found in the perimeter running game of the Rockets.
Led by Trenton Thompson and Henry Garcia, Westwood got 3 touchdowns on runs off of running plays into the boundary on the night. Defensively, the Rockets did a good job in clogging up the middle and intercepted 2 passes on the night.
Coach Chad Dyer was pleased overall with the play of his team but wants to see better execution on offense especially in timing. When asked what he wants to work on in Friday’s jamboree, Coach Dyer had this to say:
The Rockets will travel to Wartrace on Friday night to take part in the Cascade Jamboree. Westwood will take on Middle Tennessee Christian at 5:30. The Rockets return home to open the season on Thursday when they play host to Forrest. That game will kick-off at 6:30 PM and Thunder Radio will bring you the broadcast as part of the First National Bank Hometown Sports series.
