Lady Dogs top Iowa 62-41 in first round of playoffs

The No. 6-ranked Jennings Lady Bulldogs won an opening round Class 3A playoff game Thursday night, topping the Iowa Lady Yellow Jackets by a final of 62-41 at Gaudet Gymnasium. The win was the third of the season over Iowa, as Jennings won a pair of district contests over Iowa. With the win, Jennings improves to 20-7 overall and will advance to the regional round of the Class 3A playoffs. Iowa capped off their season with an 8-18 record. The Lady Dogs will now await the winner of No. 11 Union Parish and No. 22 West Feliciana.

The show must go on

Despite the wintry weather this past week, the Jennings Lady Bulldogs, Lake Arthur Lady Tigers and the Welsh Lady Greyhounds will begin their playoff conquests this weekend around the area. The Lady Bulldogs played their opening round game against the Iowa Lady Yellow Jackets on Thursday evening, while the Lady Hounds are set to travel to Kinder to face their old district rival tonight at 6 p.m. As of press time, the Lady Tigers were still awaiting word from their playoff opponent, Rapides, on when the contest would take place in Lake Arthur. The game would either be played tonight or possibly on Saturday. Check Sunday’s edition of Jennings Daily News for results from Jennings High’s bi-district playoff game.
