Dogs open playoffs at home against St. Martinville
The No. 9 Jennings Bulldogs have set their eyes on a playoff run that begins tonight at Jerry Simmons Stadium against the No. 24-seeded St. Martinville Tigers. The Dogs are coming off a 27-6 win over the Westlake Rams last week, but the win came with controversy. The two teams had an altercation with just under eight minutes left to play, which resulted in a fight that left players suspended. Jennings will be without the services of five players on the defensive side of the football for this week’s contest. Jennings comes into the ball game tonight sporting a 7-3 record, while the Tigers are 3-7. Despite their lopsided record, the Tigers have played a host of really good football teams throughout the season and are better than their record indicates. The Bulldogs come into the game with an offense that has continued to improve over the season, led by 1,000-yard rusher Chris Ned. Gerald Watson has also come on lately, running the football and having over 200 yards of all-purpose offense last week.
