Jay Beats Rocky Bayou 48-0

September 3, 2011

The Jay Royals kicked off their first season under new Head Coach Ken Smith with a big win Friday night, pounding Rocky Bayou Christian School 48-0.  It was the first regular season win for the Royals since 2009.

It was a big night in Jay for running back Ricky Cofield, with five touchdown runs totaling about 200 yards, including a 90-yarder late in the first half. Overall, Cofield hit almost 300 yards on the night.

Cofield’s first TD came with 4:25 in the first on a one-yard dash for the end zone. The kicked failed, putting Jay up 6-0.

In the second quarter, Cofield scored on runs on 44, 90 and 41 yards. Dalton Edwards was 2 of 3 on point after kicks, giving Jay a 26-0 lead heading into the lockers at the half.

In the third Cofield was in again on a 25 yard run, with a good kick from Edwards;  and Dakota Smith scored for the Royals on a 2 yard run followed by another Edwards kick.

Headed into the fourth with a 40-0 lead, the Royals were not done, finishing up Rocky Bayou 48-0 after a 41 yard run from Tate Upton and a 2 point conversion on a Sammy Jones pass from Dalton Edwards.

Next Friday night, the Jay Royals (1-0) will host Bonifay.

    WOW! Yall beat Rocky Bayou……WHO? We will see how the season goes from here on. The new coach appears to be better than the last one..although how hard could that be. Coach Smith’s biggest task still remains ahead though; surviving the politics of Jay’s “so-called elite”….will the parents of the oil rats determine who starts or will he overrule their arrogance, and actually play those with most talent.. However it was a nice win for an opener! Though if your a royals fan dont get comfortable with W’S on the win chart too soon! Yall arent back yet, Bonifay wins in witha decisive win…..good luck though! The royals are at home so an upset is possible…uh, maybe!
