Wylie East utilized a 42-point second half en route to a dominating 49-0 victory over the Rowlett Eagles on Friday night at Wylie ISD Stadium. The victory clinched a playoff spot for the Raiders.
The game was a grind for the first two quarters, with neither offense being able to score points. Wylie East finally broke through on a 1-yard run by Michael Henderson III with 58 seconds remaining in the second quarter.
From there, Wylie East poured it on.
Howard Fisher IV threw four touchdown passes, all in the second half. He threw for 303 yards on 17-of-26 passing. Catching those four touchdowns were King Baribe, who had his best game of the season with 113 yards.
Amarean Porter, Amir Porter and Keaton King also had receiving touchdowns for the Raiders.
With a win next week against Garland, Wylie East will secure home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs. That game will be a 7 p.m. Friday at Williams Stadium in Garland.
