Coach Chad Dyer(left) talks to his team following Tuesday night’s win
A huge first half lifted the Westwood football team to a 26 to 8 win over Middle Tennessee Christian School on Tuesday night at Dyer-Bouldin Field. The Rockets scored on all 4 first half possessions to build a 26 to 0 halftime lead and coasted home for the big conference win.
Westwood got a 55 yard touchdown run from Renaldo Ramirez on the first play from scrimmage to set the tone on the night. After a Gavin Taylor interception, Skylar Brather rumbled in from 5 yards out to make the score 12 to 0. Henry Garcia broke free for a 44 yard touchdown run and Bratcher added the 2 point conversion to make it 20 to 0 before Trenton Thompson raced around right end to score from 28 yards out to put the game on ice before intermission.
The win avenges a jamboree loss to the Cougars earlier this month. Coach Chad Dyer had this to say about the Rockets preparation.
The win levels the Rockets record at 1 and 1 on the season and 1 and 1 in conference play. The Rockets will be back in action on Thursday as they travel to Wartrace to take on Cascade in their second conference game of the week.
