RHS Football Spring Swarm Is Coming!

The Rockwall High School Football Team and Jacket Backers Booster Club are teaming up with Meador Auto to kick off this year’s Spring Swarm.  Spring Swarm is the annual spring football game to introduce the 2014 Rockwall Yellowjacket Football team and conclude their annual food drive for Helping Hands.  The canned food drive will be on Friday, May 16 and the game will be at Wilkerson-Sanders Memorial Stadium on Thursday, May 22.  The JV game begins at 6:00 pm and the Varsity starts 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.

Coming off their first playoff win in over 20 years, the Football Jackets are looking forward to the move to District 11-6A and competing for a spot in the Texas High School Football Playoffs.  “2013 was a great momentum-builder for our football program,” said Coach Webb.  “We plan to take the 2014 Jackets to new heights.  There is a tremendous sense of excitement in our school and community about the upcoming Jacket football season, and this is a great time to support the great things these kids are doing both on and off the field.”

This year’s spring game is designed to be a community event and include pre-game food stands, fan contests, Jacket Backers promotions, special guests and a 7 on 7 game between Utley and Williams Middle Schools at half-time of the varsity game.  The Rockwall Cheerleaders, Stingerettes, Jacket Guard and the Orange Wave Marching Band will be on hand for the event.

Jacket Backers organizes and manages a variety of activities that support RHS student athletes and all sports sponsored by Rockwall High School.  For more information about this event or how to join Jacket Backers and help support Rockwall High School athletes contact Rex Fithian at (214) 215-2030 or rexfithian@att.net or go to www.jacketboosters.com.
