LAKE CHARLES — The Jennings Bulldogs kicked off the 2025 season on Thursday when they travelled to South Lake Charles for a scrimmage test with the Barbe Bucs. The two teams played a controlled type of scrimmage, with each varsity offense and defense playing 12 snaps per series. Both junior varsity teams were also able to play two controlled series’ as well. The live portion of the scrimmage was cut short due to lightning in the area and ended the contest early. The Bulldog offense found the scoreboard twice in their second controlled series, driving down the field twice with big plays from both Liam Leblanc and Chris Ned.

WELSH — When the Welsh Greyhounds take the field to start the 2025 season, it will be the defense that will carry the Hounds to begin with. That defense is led by a player who has been a starter since his freshman year and will only be a junior this season. Jordan Strong has proven to be a vital part of the Greyhound defense and will be called on to lead that defense.
