Rockwall High Spring Swarm football game May 24

Rockwall High School Football Team and Jacket Backers Booster Club team up with Rockwall County Helping Hands

(ROCKWALL, TX – May 19, 2016) The Rockwall High School football team and Jacket Backers Booster Club are teaming up with Rockwall County Helping Hands to kick-off this year’s Spring Swarm.  Spring Swarm is the annual spring football game to introduce the 2016 Rockwall Yellowjackets football team and conclude their annual food drive for Rockwall County Helping Hands.

The Spring Swarm football game will be at Wilkerson-Sanders Memorial Stadium on Tuesday, May 24, with the JV game at 6:00 pm and the varsity at 7:00 pm. Admission is free with two canned goods or $2 per person with all admission proceeds going to Rockwall County Helping Hands.

This year’s spring game is a community event with Jacket Backers promotions, special guests and a 7-on-7 game between Utley and Williams middle schools at halftime of the varsity game.  The Rockwall High Cheerleaders, Stingerettes, and Jacket Guard will also be on hand for the event.

Coming off a deep run in in the Texas High School Football Playoffs, the Yellowjackets are looking forward to another exciting season. Only one other 6A program in DFW has won more games than our Rockwall Yellowjackets over the past two years. This is a very exciting era of Jacket football, and the 2016 team is ready to step up to the challenges that lie ahead,” said Head Coach Rodney Webb.
