Chris Warren Receives “Meador Auto Yellowjacket Athlete of the Month” Award

The Rockwall High School Jacket Backers have selected Chris Warren as the “Meador Auto Yellowjacket Athlete of the Month”. Warren, a 12th grade member of the Varsity Football Team was nominated by Coach Rodney Webb and chosen by the Jacket Backers board.

Chris accounted for 795 yards and 13 TD's in Rockwall's four September victories, averaging 199 yards and over 3 TD's per game - all of this despite sitting out most of the 2nd half of three of the four games, due to the lopsided score.

Coach Webb said about the selection, “Chris has had an incredible month of September.  He helped lead the Jackets to their best start in 33 years, and he has put an exclamation point on any questions that people had about his ability to overcome last year's knee injury.”
