In the second half, senior Jace Rainwater juked his way to a 25-yard score, followed by Watson’s second touchdown on a 13-yard run. Guthrie’s defense capped off the night with two more scores.
The Bluejays have now won three straight games, improving to 3-1 overall and 1-0 in District 5A-2. John Marshall dropped to 1-3 and 0-1 in district play.
