Rockwall High School Football has Strong Support from RYCA Youth Football Program

Powerhouse High School Football programs are built organizing programs that help teach football systems and philosophy’s as early as age five. Texas is known for having national ranked programs such as Southlake Carroll, Austin Westlake, Odessa Permian, Converse Judson, Stephenville, Tyler John Tyler, Celina, Katy, and Lufkin High School. Kids from these towns are born with a football in hand, and a weekly Friday night date at the high school stadium.

Coaches are paid more than the high school principal and more powerful than the mayor if they win. They are run out of town if they lose.

High School Football is talked about all year long. It is a daily conversation in coffee shops, schools, and even mentioned in the pulpits at churches. Wardrobes are filled with the colors of the school, and sacred rituals helping the team to victory are the norm.

However, these programs do not happen overnight. They are built starting at the grade school level. Usually, the head high school football coach has control over all athletic coaches and programs in the district. A new high school coach is granted the power by the school board to hire and fire middle school and high school coaches. The middle school football programs are expected to learn the high school program and teach its players the system. Great programs take it a step further.

Great high school football programs build youth programs which promote the love of the game, but also the knowledge of the system. That means kids as young as five years of age are taught the terminology and philosophy of the high school football system.

Coach Rodney Webb of Rockwall High School program is finishing up his first season as the school’s Varsity Head Football Coach. He has led the Rockwall High School Yellowjackets to the playoffs, and looks to continue that trend for years to come.

Although, Rockwall High School has not won a State Championship title since 1963 (2A- Rockwall 7 beats Sugar Land Dulles 6) and hasn’t been to the title game since 1972 (2A- Boling 20 beats Rockwall 0); Coach Webb fully intends to change this trend. He understands how great programs are built, and has taken the initiative to align the RYSA Rockwall Youth Football Program up with the High School Program.

With the help of the RYCA board, coaches, team moms, and many other volunteers; the RYCA Jackets have taken this vertical alignment and created one of the strongest youth programs in North Texas. The RYCA Jackets have built a grade/age pure program that learns the High School Football System, and prepares its players to take their skills to the middle schools and ultimately to the Rockwall High School Yellowjackets football program. The RYCA has created one of the strongest communication programs via social media with the help of DeliveryMaxx where the organization can recruit and help feed future Jackets through the high school system.

Because of this partnership between Rockwall High School Football, and the RYCA Youth Football Organization both Coach Webb and QB, Will Reed each has been awarded coach and player of the week recognition. Also, players like Will Reed, Luke Turmin, and Tamba Juanah talked to the 6th Grade Nebbie Jackets football team just before the championship game.

Recently, the RYCA, and the Jacket Backers put together a grassroots campaign to help Coach Rodney Webb earn the High School Coach of the Week with online voting!

As the two programs continue to grow; the community of Rockwall is looking for more High School Football State Championships!  The way things are going, the RYCA Youth Football Program is looking forward to seeing many of our boys accepting the coveted State Championship trophy and having their names etched in history.

Tyson Neighbors of the RYCA Jackets Field Goal Challenge

Rockwall Jacket Football Star, Tyson Neighbors of the RYCA Jacket Football League was challenged to kick a field goal during Rockwall High School Homecoming Game last Friday. Tyson lined up, and drilled the ball through the upright in front of a crowd of 10,000.

For making the field goal, Tyson received a $50 to Chiloso’s Mexican Restaurant in Rockwall, Texas.

You can see Tyson Neighbors playing for the RYCA Jackets 5th Grade Nebbie Team which plays in one of the toughest premier football leagues in North Texas.

The RYCA is the largest grade and school pure football program in Texas, and the only youth football league that is vertically aligned with Rockwall High School Football according to Head Coach Rodney Webb.

Congratulations Tyson Neighbors for representing RYCA Jacket Football!

Battle of the Shores

Rockwall Nebbie Jackets 6th Grade Team plays Hartman’s Jackets Saturday at Kyle Field

Saturday, September 14th will be an epic battle between two 6th Grade RYCA Jacket Teams. Both schools, Hartman and Nebbie will feed into Williams Middle School next year with the kids playing on the same team; however, this year they will battle each other for 6th grade bragging rights!

Nebbie and Hartman are made up of kids predominately in the Shores, so one could say this is the “Battle of the Shores.”
The Rockwall Youth Football Team from Nebbie is led by quarterback Tyler Ashworth. He is coming off a strong performance last week against the HHCA Heath Hawks throwing for 2 touchdowns and running for another. He is a threat anytime he is on the field directing the offense with his arm and picking up needed yards with his legs.

In the backfield with Ashworth is speedster Cody Rollins who is averaging 9 yards a carry, and has the moves to elude defenders with his playmaking abilities at receiver. Tanner Webb shows opposing defenses why they can’t just contain the corners because his style of play evolves pounding the football down their throats. Tanner also plays quarterback as well giving the Nebbie Jackets multiple options and formations.

When defenses start keying on certain offensive players; Joseph Schaefer steps up to assure a hole will be open. He might be one of the smaller players on the team, but don’t tell him that. He will lay a hit with the best of them, and usually that means defensive players are watching the play lying on their back. Schaefer scored last week on a 12 yard pass from Ashworth late in the game.

The passing attack of Nebbie is completed by All-Star receiving group of Chace Burkey and Zach Elsey. Both players receive the ball like they have glue on their hands. Chace grabbed a beautiful touchdown last weekend for the Nebbie Jackets first score of the 2013 season.

Nebbie Jackets defense is beginning to make a name in the RYCA Football League. Schaefer leads a group of hard hitting linebackers like Brendon Murray and Tanner Webb. They occupy the defensive backfield with Cody Rollins and Tyler Ashworth at safeties. Elsey and Jaxon Rife control the corners along with Burkey and Lake Johnson at the defensive end spot.

The Doomsday Defense held last year’s Super Bowl Champion Heath Hawks to only two touchdowns which was way off their 40 point a game mark they averaged in 2012.

This Saturday will be exciting to say the least. One of the Jackets team will be victorious and the other will have to learn how to deal with defeat. However, in the end; they are all Jackets representing the RYCA program.

The RYCA Jacket Football Program is the only program in Rockwall that is vertically aligned with Rockwall High School Yellowjackets according to Head Football Coach Rodney Webb.
