Roosevelt wins quadruple-overtime district opener, 45–43
Ernest Smith rushed for 134 yards and four touchdowns as the Rough Riders beat Madison in both teams’ District 28-6A opener.
Roosevelt beat Madison 45–43 in quadruple overtime at Heroes Stadium on Friday, opening District 28-6A play for both teams. Yahoo Sports, citing the San Antonio Express-News, reported that Ernest Smith rushed for 134 yards and scored four touchdowns for the Rough Riders.
Madison opened with a touchdown and later built a 21–7 lead. Roosevelt answered with two scoring drives in the second quarter, tying the game 21–21 by half-time.
After Madison regained the lead, Smith scored again to keep Roosevelt within reach. Neither team scored in the fourth quarter, and the game went to four overtime periods.
The event digest credits Smith with the winning two-point conversion. The supplied report’s text ends during its overtime account, leaving the final sequence unclear.
The win came after Madison ended Roosevelt’s season in 2025. The Yahoo Sports report framed the result as revenge for that loss.
