The Enterprise Yellow Jackets knocked off the Bassfield Yellowjackets 21-9 Friday night to complete the series sweep in Region 7-2A action.

“We didn’t play our best game, but we hit the ball better tonight,” said Enterprise coach Cass Brister. “Or defense is not where it needs to be, but we found a way to get the win. Overall, the guys played hard, but we need to regroup quickly as we get ready for Loyd Star next week.”

The Jackets (7-5, 4-0) visit their Lincoln County/Region rivals, the Loyd Star Hornets, Tuesday for another big division test. Junior varsity action begins at 4:30 p.m., followed by the varsity game at 6:30 p.m.
