SEAGOVILLE — Tyler continued its momentum from last week’s win, rolling to a 48-7 win over the Seagoville Dragons on Friday at James Ray Henry Stadium.

Quarterback Caden Granberry tossed four TD passes and threw for 253 yards. He hit on 18 of 22 passing attempts.

Granberry also made a tremendous athletic play in the third quarter as the snap went off his hands. He raced after the ball, picked it up at is own 35, righted himself and threw a laser to Nicholas Collins at the Dragons’ 40-yard line. Collins made a turn, outracing the Dragons for a 47-yard TD. The PAT failed and the Lions had a 48-7 lead with 9:02 showing.

McMiller had 99 yards rushing on six attempts. Arriaga had eight carries for 49 yards.

Collins had five catches for 91 yards.

After being stopped on downs on their first drive in the first half, Tyler scored on four consecutive possessions to take a 28-0 lead.

Ashton Arriaga got the scoring going on a nifty 19-yard run over the right side behind guard Adrian Crispin and Tray Lewis. Marvin Espinal hit the PAT and Tyler led 7-0 with 1:59 on the clock in the first quarter.

On the Dragons’ next drive, Lions’ linebacker D’Canaan Sueing picked off a pass at the 27, rambling down the sideline and pitched to teammate Braylen Ford who got the ball to the 10.

On the next play, Granberry hit Davion Sirles over the middle for a 10-yard TD. Espinal’s PAT gave Tyler a 14-0 lead with 51.9 seconds showing.

In the second quarter, Ford got a pickoff of his own in the right corner of the end zone.

The Lions scored three TDs in the second period for a 35-7 lead.

Collins grabbed a 16-yard pass from Granberry and Arriaga scored on a 4-yard dash. With 19.5 seconds left before half, LaTreyson Haralson caught a beautiful 28-yard TD pass from Granberry. Espinal made the PATs.
