For the first time since 2003, the Rockdale Tigers knocked off the Cameron Yoemen Friday, 43-21 at Tiger Field. For three consecutive years, the Cameron Yoe held the prized hardware that goes to the winner of the annual "Battle of the Bell." Both teams had already clinched playoff spots the week before, so the rivalry carried playoff position and not entry to the post-season. The Rockdale Tigers came out swinging early, taking command of the game on their first possession of the night and dominated the game. Rockdale put the nail in the coffin that would extend the lead to 43-21, with about six minutes left in the game. Rockdale racked up over 500 yards of offense, with 397 of the total coming on the ground. Meanwhile, the Yoemen were limited to just 77 yards on the ground, and 164 through the air. RHS players and students rang the brass railroad bell the schools have played for since 1954 through town well after midnight.
