Dogs, LCCP to lock horns tonight at Cougar Stadium

Thu, 10/21/2021 - 05:00

After much confusion on the part of Lake Charles College Prep about securing a playing field and a date for when this week’s district 4-3A match-up against the Jennings Bulldogs would take place, the final decision was made to play the game Thursday night at Cougar Stadium at 7 pm. The contest will be one of the most intriguing in the area because of the missed contest last season, and the amount of star power on the field. The Trailblazers came in with high hopes on winning another district 4-3A title, but got off to a rough start in non-district play, albeit a tumultuous schedule. The Blazers are loaded with talent all over the field, but will be without LSU running back commit Travonte Citizen due to an injury. Despite losing Citizen, Prep has a plethora of backs in Devonte Guidroz and JaRell Joseph to shoulder the load. The duo rushed for over 240 yards combined in a tough win over the St. Louis Saints a week ago.
