The Rockwall Rowlett Nail Biter

nlaadmin — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 18:04:44 +0000

When the teams took the field Friday night under the lights of the newly renovated Wilkerson-Sanders Stadium in Rockwall, none of the fans suspected that they would be in for one of those “hanging off the edge of your seat” finishes. As routinely as most high school football games begin, both teams established the run early and supplemented things offensively with key receptions on third and long. Both Rowlett and Rockwall looked very polished at the onset of the game on offense and on defense. At the end of the first half, Rockwall had secured a 17 to 14 lead over Rowlett despite a late 2nd quarter scoring drive by the Eagles that ate up the last three minutes of the half. Rowlett carried over their late 2nd quarter momentum with a Joseph Powell TD reception on their first possession from the line of scrimmage. With a volley of scoring exchanges throughout the game, the excitement began to mount. Entering the fourth quarter, Rockwall led by a three-point margin but saw their 24-21 lead slip away on Treyvon Green TD scamper with 9:45 left in the fourth quarter. Rockwall was then stopped on their ensuing drive by a Rowlett defense that had been ignited all night long by the play of defensive lineman, Damontre’ Moore (A&M commit). Rowlett once again regained control on offense and began to methodically eat up the clock. The most pivotal swing in the game; however, started with a 4th down stop by the Yellowjacket defense with 4:05 remaining in the game. Starting from their own 39, Rockwall took the field under the cool composure of senior QB, Adam Dingwell (San Diego State commit) who was fantastic throughout the night throwing for a total of 291 yards with 21 completions on 31 attempts with 1 TD. With pressure building, Rockwall called on the “automatic” Will Beasley. On second and seven, Beasley broke free on a seam rout from the slot position and despite a desperate attempt by the Rowlett defender to contain him, pulled in a 35 yard one handed grab with the defender hanging off of his body. This was the “Play of the Game!” Rockwall then continued their drive down the field coming up with a huge 2nd down conversion run by Dingwell and yet again, another defensive pass interference call on Beasley who couldn’t seem to be stopped (10 receptions for 154 yards). Then it was running back, Josh Broach’s turn to cap off the drive with a 5 yard TD. Broach, who rushed for 101 yards on 25 attempts was one of the key components to Rockwall’s offensive success as he took the pressure off of the passing attack and kept Rowlett’s defense on their heals all night. Rowlett regained possession for a last stand but seemed deflated as they gave up a sack that placed them at 3rd and 20 with 1:20 remaining in the game. The following Blake Taylor 3rd down pass fluttered through the air and was picked off by Rockwall’s, Spencer Edwards, which sealed the game and a 31-28 Yellowjacket victory.

Rockwall QB commits to San Diego State…

Adam Dingwell verbally committed to San Diego State University. The 6’4” Rockwall QB, will fit in nicely in the wide open passing offense of San Diego State. First year head coach, Brady Hoke is intent on turning the SDSU program around after a 2-10 2008 season. In his six seasons at Ball State, Hoke compiled a record of 34-38 taking the Cardinals to bowl games in the 07 and 08 seasons. His final year was his best, finishing 12-1 and being named as the Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year. Second year starter for Rockwall High, Dingwell will add his senior year to an already impressive junior campaign where he completed 124 of 201 pass attempts for 1,731 yards and 15 touchdowns, before heading off to the college ranks. San Diego State took interest in Adam after seeing his Next Level Athlete Showcase footage from both the Lancaster and Grand Prairie events where Dingwell also caught the eye of the NLA staff. Adam displayed great footwork, accuracy, and a strong arm to compliment his 6’4” frame. Adam has a bright future and will soon impress on Saturdays.

Wylie High School Wins Rockwall 7 on 7 Tourney!

nlaadmin — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 15:09:17 +0000

Wylie High School edged out Rockwall High School to take 1st place in the Rockwall 7 on 7 Tournament on Tuesday night. Wylie seemed unstoppable on offense under the direction of quarterback Noah Chessier and stand out wide receiver Colby Harper. Rockwall stayed on the heels of Wylie throughout the game but lacked a vital defensive stop that would allow them to regain control of what resembled an offensive volley. Rockwall QB Adam Dingwell, who played the entire first half at QB and the second half at WR, was called back in at QB for the last few drives in an attempt to pull the team back from a deficit. Dingwell connected with go to wide receiver William Beasley in a late 50-yard strike that put Rockwall back in the game. Dingwell and Beasley seemed to be on the same page throughout the game as the two connected on several big plays. Rockwall’s late offensive push was simply not enough, as Wylie remained consistent on both offense and defensive in the win over Rockwall.

Another Successful Showcase!
