WELSH — The Welsh Greyhounds got back to 500 this past week with a 28-0 shutout over the previously unbeaten South Beauregard Golden Knights. Welsh used a strong rushing game that ran for over 300 yards and a stout defense that limited the Knights to just over 100 yards of total offense to get the muchneeded win. Welsh moves to 2-2 for the season and will now jump from playing a class 3-A opponent to taking on the class 4-A Eunice Bobcats.

The 2-1 Jennings Bulldogs are coming off another impressive victory that stretched their winstreak to two games after lopsided wins over Eunice (34-0) and Welsh (54-29). However, a stiff test awaits them this week at Jerry Simmons Stadium when the Northwest Raiders come to town. The Raiders were a Division II Non-Select Semi-Final team a season ago and returned a good core group of players from that squad. The Raiders jumped out to a 2-1 start to open the season and came into the year ranked No. 5 in the LHSAA Sportswriters Class 3A preseason polls. They have wins over Class 4A Eunice (21 14) and Class 4A Rayne (50-14) before falling in a week three thriller to Class 5A Barbe 35-32 in a barnburner that went back and forth.

The Tigers’ defense was ferocious in allowing only 56 total yards to the visiting Bears and kept them out of the endzone all night.
