ROCKWALL, TX (May 20, 2014) The Rockwall High School football team and Jacket Backers Booster Club have teamed up with Meador Auto to kick off this year’s Spring Swarm, the annual spring football game that introduces the 2014 Rockwall Yellowjackets and concludes their annual food drive for Helping Hands.

This much-anticipated community event will be on Thursday, May 22 at Wilkerson-Sanders Memorial Stadium. JV takes the field at 6 p.m.; Varsity play begins at 7:15. Admission is free with two canned goods or $2 per person with all admission proceeds going to Helping Hands of Rockwall County.

There will be pre-game food stands, fan contests, Jacket Backers promotions, special guests, and a 7 on 7  game between Utley and Williams middles schools during half-time of the varsity game.  The Rockwall cheerleaders, Stingerettes, Jacket Guard and the Orange Wave Marching Band will be taking part in the festivities.
