Roosevelt Ends Washington Reign as 11AA Champs

by Jeff Fisher
High School Football America

Roosevelt got revenge and a title at the same time on Saturday.

The Rough Riders beat Washington, the two-time defending state champs, 31-17 to win its first Class 11AA state title since 2007.  In the process, Roosevelt avenged its only loss this season, a 34-29 set-back at the hands of Washington (9-3) in the final week of the regular season.

Roosevelt was led by quarterback Scott Tyler who passed for three touchdowns and ran for another.  Tyler was 17-of-28 for 337 yards.

Washington was looking for its 38th overall state title.  No other team in America has won that many state championships.
