Converse Judson pulled out a 35-28 Hammer Bowl win against Judson ISD rival San Antonio Wagner in 2018, but was motivated to make more of a statement in 2019's meeting. The Rockets used a strong start on Friday to set up their 52-14 win at Converse's D. W. Rutledge Stadium.

"Last year, we knew that it was a close game and we wanted to step that up," said VYPE Player of the Game Mike Chandler. "We didn't want there to be any argument about who was better. I think we showed that from first quarter to fourth."
