Brock Dominates Comanche To Advance To Final Four
Brock defeated Comanche 34-7 in the UIL Texas state quarterfinals.
In its fourth consecutive regional final, Brock looked every bit the part of a state title contender, jumping out to an early lead and pulling away in the second half to defeat Comanche 34-7 in the UIL Region 1-3A Division 1 title game on Friday.
The Eagles (12-2) got the party started with a 51-yard opening drive that was capped by Tripp Jones’ 39-yard touchdown pass to Landon Hoffman — who made an excellent move to shake the defender — and Brock led 7-0.

Unfortunately for the Indians, that was as good as it would get.
Brock scored 21 unanswered points in the second half, including this spectacular touchdown run by Tripp Jones to hammer the nail into the coffin.
