Fredericksburg Leans On Sensational French, Defense In Win Against Jarrell
"It's great to be in Fredericksburg, Texas," said Fredericksburg head football coach Lance Moffett. That direction began with Kade Jenschke's opening kickoff return to the Jarrell 32-yard line. It began with the following Fredericksburg drive, which started at the Jarrell 31-yard line. Jose Diosdado added a touchdown run in the quarter and the Fredericksburg defense followed with a goal line deflection that prevented another Jarrell score with 1:21 left in the frame.
