JENNINGS — If you expected the Jennings Bulldogs to be down in the dumps after consecutive losses to Leesville and Eunice, you would be completely wrong. The Bulldogs are working hard at practice and are remaining very positive.

Saturday September 17th @ Jennings High School

ELTON — It’s been quite a while since the Elton Indians have been the owners of a 2-0 record on the gridiron. Elton has claimed lopsided wins over Pickering and Northwood-Lena to start the season and will now hit the road to face the Montgomery Tigers in a nondistrict clash. The Tigers have the exact opposite record of the Indians, as they have yet to garner a win. Montgomery has played a little tougher competition, however, as their losses have come to 4-A Grant and 2-A Lakeview.

LAKE ARTHUR —The Lake Arthur Tigers will look to build off of last week’s win over Mamou when they host the Jeanerette Tigers in their Homecoming contest. The host Tigers will come into the contest with a 1-1 record, while the visiting Tigers also sport a 1-1 mark.

Foo Fact of the Game: A more experienced Eunice team dominated Jennings from start to finish in their 39-14 win. The Bobcats had 442 total yards while the Dogs had only 197 total yards.

MAMOU – The Lake Arthur Tigers shook off a rough start Friday night, and used a huge second half to pull away from the Mamou Green Demons by a final of 32-14 on the Cajun Prairie. The Tigers trailed 14-9 going into the intermission, but rallied back for 23 unanswered points in the second half to claim their first victory of the season. The Tigers will now return home to face Jeanerette in their annual Homecoming contest to be held at Jack Doland Stadium Friday night at 7 p.m.

WESTLAKE — The Welsh Greyhounds unveiled a stifling defense and a balanced offense here Friday night, as they took down the Westlake Rams by a 29-12 score in a non-district clash. The contest was the first of the year for the Hounds, while the Rams drop to 1-1 with the loss. The Greyhound defense limited a potent Westlake offense to just 53 yards rushing and an even 100 yards through the air.

ELTON – Coming off last week’s big win which put an end to the program’s 21-game losing streak, the Elton High Indians have no intentions of slowing down. With the curse broken, they intend to show everyone how a football program can bounce back after the hardships they have faced the last three years. The Indians blasted the Gators by a final of 49-6 in their home opener.
