Yellow Jackets Make a Statement in Opener

Yellow Jackets Make a Statement in Opener
Llano High School football head coach Matt Green guided the Yellow Jackets to another season-opening win for the third consecutive year. This time Llano shut out Lytle 47-0 Aug. 30 to spoil the Pirates' home opener. This week, the Jackets travel to Comanche and are looking to start a winning streak.

The Llano High School football team showed it is ready for the 2024 season by thumping Lytle 47-0 Aug. 30 in the first game of the year.

"We played well in every phase of the game, considering it was the first game of the season on the road," head coach Matt Green said. "They got two long runs on us. Then after that, they couldn't move the ball."

To say the Jackets (1-0) swarmed to the football is an understatement. The Pirates (0-1) struggled to get anything going. They couldn't plant to complete a pass. They couldn't juke a move to spring free in the run game. And they couldn't use a trick play because the Jackets were so quick to locate the ball.
