“As I’m looking at this, 39 rushes on the day as a team…487 yards. That’s incredible,” Jayton head coach Josh Stanaland said. “That speaks to yes, a very talented back, but also a dominant offensive line.”
In the win over Richland Springs, Jayton tallied 19 first downs and finished with 605 total yards. Richland Springs was held to less than 100 yards on the ground, per 940 Gameday.
Jayton has now won back-to-back state titles and finished this season undefeated at 15-0. The Jaybirds also went 15-0 in 2024 and have now lost just once across the last three seasons. Wednesday’s win gives the program its fourth ever state title.
