WYLIE – Howard Fisher IV’s five touchdown passes were more than enough for Wylie East as it cruised to a 77-7 win over South Garland on Friday night.

Wylie East controlled the game from the opening kick to the final whistle, totaling 500 yards of offense and limiting South Garland to just 132. The Wylie East defense returned two interceptions for touchdowns, one by Jamal Olford and the other by Rome Jeffers.
