Jayton (Texas) senior superstar Bode Ham went out with a bang on Wednesday night.

The six-man powerhouse in the Lone Star State claimed another 1A Division II state title and Ham led the way with a historic performance. In a 99-54 win over Richland Springs, Ham set the 1A state title game record with 13 total touchdowns.

He finished with 430 rushing yards and 10 scores on the ground, while also throwing for 118 yards and three more TDs. Ham also plays linebacker and finished with eight tackles and a pass breakup. He was named the offensive and defensive MVP on Wednesday.

“I just want to thank my coaches,” Ham said in the postgame press conference. “They put me in places to make plays…I can’t thank them enough.”

“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.
