On January 15, the 2020-21 football season finally ended for the Texas Longhorns #trUTh21 class when five-star athlete Ja’Tavion Sanders and his Denton Ryan teammates prevailed over Cedar Park in the Class 5A Division I state championship by a lopsided score of 59-14. Sanders caught five passes for 82 yards and one touchdown in the win, which gave Ryan its third state championship overall and its first since 2002. He finished his senior season with 63 catches for 1,161 yards and 16 touchdowns.
Sanders became the third member of the Longhorns’ 2021 signing class to win a state championship during their high school careers.
