Wylie East vs Wylie: Charles Perry Fumble Return, Utubor's 4 TDs in 42-27 Win

October 13, 2026
Charles Perry's fumble return and four TDs from Jonathan Utubor powered Wylie East past rival Wylie 42-27 in a wild first quarter showdown.

Rivalry games between Wylie East and Wylie rarely lack for drama, but this one delivered chaos from the opening quarter. A collapsed punt protection unit gave the Raiders their first break — punter unable to get the kick off, the ball came loose, and Charles Perry scooped it up and went 26 yards for the score, pushing Wylie East to a 14-0 lead before the game had barely settled in.

Wylie answered with a touchdown to cut the deficit to seven, but Jonathan Utubor responded with a 4-yard rushing score to push the Raiders back out to a 21-7 advantage — and the first quarter wasn't over yet. Wylie star Daylon Gordon then turned a kickoff into a highlight, finding a seam the coverage team didn't see coming and going 78 yards to make it 21-14, all still in the first quarter.

The second half belonged to Utubor. He punched in his fourth touchdown of the night on the Raiders' first drive after halftime, putting the game out of reach. Wylie East closed it out 42-27, a statement win over their crosstown rival that earned them Texas Oncology Team of the Week recognition.
