While the roles are not a perfect match, a team took down the Titans last Friday \u2013 the Catholic High Rockets.<\/p>\n<p>In the homecoming game for the Jacksonville Titans, the Rockets showed up and dominated early, not letting the pressure up the entire game. The final score, 42-6, was a sign of victory that meant an 8-0 start to the season for the Rockets, their best start in school history. The Rockets started 7-0 during their 1984 state-championship winning season, when the undefeated Rocket squad lost to Mills High School\u00a0who had not yet won a game that season. The Rockets had a 7-0 season in 1989, according to Sam Lane of the <em>Arkansas Democrat-Gazette<\/em>, the last time such an event occurred until this season.<\/p>\n<p>The game started at 7 p.m. with a large contingent of Catholic High fans. &#8220;I am pretty sure we had more fans on our side than they had on theirs,&#8221; said senior Jett Holbert, who was in attendance at the game. The Titans received the kickoff, but the ball came to the Rockets, who scored on a Dominic Keeton touchdown with a bit less than\u00a0nine minutes left in the first quarter. A touchback, punt, punt, and interception later, and the Rockets scored again on another Dominic Keeton rush play near the final minute of the first quarter.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":1,\"permalink\":\"https:\\\/\\\/liftoffnews.com\\\/?p=9386\"}' id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-9386 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/liftoffnews.com\/?attachment_id=9387'><img width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ10.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ10.jpg?w=5184&amp;ssl=1 5184w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ10.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ10.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ10.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ10.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ10.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-attachment-id=\"9387\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/liftoffnews.com\/?attachment_id=9387\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ10.jpg?fit=5184%2C3456&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"5184,3456\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS REBEL T3i&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1666381697&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;6400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.001&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"LNJ10\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ10.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ10.jpg?fit=640%2C427&amp;ssl=1\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/liftoffnews.com\/?attachment_id=9395'><img width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ1.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ1.jpg?w=5184&amp;ssl=1 5184w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ1.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ1.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ1.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ1.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-attachment-id=\"9395\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/liftoffnews.com\/?attachment_id=9395\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ1.jpg?fit=5184%2C3456&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"5184,3456\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS REBEL T3i&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1666378049&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;3200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.001&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"LNJ1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ1.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ1.jpg?fit=640%2C427&amp;ssl=1\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>The Titans started the second quarter with the ball but punted quickly. The Rockets made quick use of their time, and scored on a touchdown pass from Sam Sanders to Cody Fogleman with 10:07 left in the second quarter. The next time Jacksonville held the ball, they lost yardage fast, to the point where the announcer described their third down as &#8220;third and forever.&#8221; (In actuality, the play was third and thirty-one.) The Titans, naturally, punted, and the Rockets took the ball to the end zone again, making the score 28-0 as the minutes ticked down. Jacksonville put together a drive that approached the end zone in the final seconds of the half, but were stopped shortly before the end zone as the clock ran out.<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"9390\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/liftoffnews.com\/?attachment_id=9390\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ7.jpg?fit=5184%2C3456&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"5184,3456\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS REBEL T3i&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1666379304&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1250&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0015625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"LNJ7\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ7.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ7.jpg?fit=640%2C427&amp;ssl=1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9390 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ7.jpg?resize=300%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ7.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ7.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ7.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ7.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/liftoffnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LNJ7.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While Jacksonville had a halftime performance from the band, the attention shifted back to the game as the third quarter began. The Rockets received the kickoff, and scored on a pass from quarterback Jackson England to Brooks Ward with 9:38 left in the third quarter. Jacksonville finally\u00a0scored with an 85-yard run to the end zone. However, the team did not gain any additional points, due to a failed two-point attempt. The onside kick attempt that followed handed the ball to the Rockets near the 50-yard line.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":1,\"permalink\":\"https:\\\/\\\/liftoffnews.com\\\/?p=9386\"}'
