The Taylor High School varsity football team put together a complete performance Friday night as the Ducks head coach Earven Flowers picked up his first career victory with a convincing 39-6 beatdown of rival Rockdale High School.
“It feels so great to get a win and to just get that monkey off our back,” Flowers said. “We’ve got to clean up more, just kind of like we were last week, we were a little sloppy at times. But we did a good job, got a win and that’s all that matters.”
Taylor got the ball first on offense and drove down the field to open the game with senior quarterback Joshua Mikulencak and company leading the charge. However, the drive stalled deep in Tigers’ territory, but the Ducks came away with points on a short field goal by senior kicker Isaac Castro for a 3-0 lead with 7:20 left in the first quarter.
