Jay Royals Win Spring Game

May 27, 2011

The Jay Royals won their spring jamboree Thursday night over Rocky Bayou Christian School 34-22 on the road at Destin Middle School.

The first half of the game featured the junior varsity and second string varsity and ended with a 22-22 tie.

The Royals came out fighting, scoring on their opening possession. After a 15-yard pass from Justin Goodwin to Baylor Mann, Brandon Boutle was in from nine yards out for a 25-22 Jay lead.

With just under two and a half minutes to go, Dakota Smith was in from four yards out  for a 34-22 Royal advantage.

It was the Royals first game under new coach Kent Smith, a Jay graduate and former player. Smith has spent the past 22 years as an assistant coach at Pace. The 2011 season will be a rebuilding year for the Jay Royals — they are coming off a 0-10 season last year.
