Congratulations to @SvilleYJFB for being named the best defense in TXHSFB, per @dctf
Stephenville capped off a historic season by shutting out Kilgore in the Class 4A DI State Championship. The Yellow Jackets, led by 10 returning starters, allowed under 10 points per game.
So thankful to be part of this program and community and even more so that I get to do it with @kelly_ritchey and our kids every step of the way. What a ride it was!! #BP25
