WELSH – After going through a pair of growing years in 2019 and 2020 that saw the Welsh Greyhounds win a total of three football games, senior running back Cohen Fontenot is having a year that has already spurned the Hounds to that same total. Welsh has started the season an impressive 3-3, and Fontenot has put his name up there with some of the best backs in the state of Louisiana. Through six games, Fontenot comes in as the state’s No. 10 rusher in all classifications with 956 yards on 131 carries and 13 TD’s. Despite the huge numbers, Fontenot tends to give the credit in other places for helping him out to a great start.
