“Cujo!” has been on the lips of John Tyler High School Football fans. The Lions are stomping their way through the Class 4A Division I playoffs. John Tyler has fought its way to through the season with a 12-1 record. This is only the school’s 12th time to be in the state quarter finals. Head coach Dereck Rush has led the team in an amazing record of 24 wins in the past 27 games.
The John Tyler “army” is lead by senior quarterback David Bush, who is only yards away from becoming John Tyler’s all-time passing leader. He has led the team in rushing with 1274 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns. Bush along with JT safety Chris Hackett is committed to go to Texas Christian University next year. The duo makes for an unstoppable defense and offense. Chris Hackett leads in interceptions. Hackett intercepted two passes against Carrollton Newman Smith. This was the second game in a row for Hackett to intercept two passes.
Last year John Tyler made it to the quarterfinals but sadly lost to Klein 31-7. Last year John Tyler was playing in Class 5A division. The move to Class 4A Division has seemed to boost the football team’s record.
The pride for John Tyler’s football team has spread as fans watch this strong football team fight through the regular season and through the quarter finals with the state championship in their sight. Tyler has come together in support for the school, hoping for victory in each game.
