WELSH — The Welsh Greyhounds are coming off a strong win against the Eunice Bobcats, but now will jump into even deeper waters this week when they host class 4-A Loranger Wolves in their final non-district battle. The Wolves will travel to Welsh with an identical 3-2 record like the Greyhounds. “They have been a power in their area, and they have played teams that normally are very good,” said Welsh head coach Ronnie Courville. “The problem this year is that those teams have all played each other thus far, so it’s really hard to tell which team is good and which might just be average. They lost to Kentwood by one-point last week and Kentwood normally is a really good team. But the teams that they have beat and the teams they have lost to have played each other this season, so it makes it difficult to tell if they are all good teams or maybe they are all just average teams.”

EUNICE — It was a tale of two halves here Friday night, but the second half belonged to the Welsh Greyhounds, as they swept aside an 8-7 halftime deficit and stormed to a 39-16 win over the Eunice Bobcats in a non-district battle. The Greyhounds, who now possess a 3-2 worksheet, had a grand total of 87 yards of offense at intermission before the second half surge.

ROSEPINE — The visiting Lake Arthur Tigers football team imposed their will on both offense and defense in their 42-0 win over the struggling Rosepine Eagles Friday.

The Tigers defense would get four turnovers with two fumble recoveries and two interceptions in their shutout of the Eagles.

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.

LONGVILLE — The Welsh Greyhounds showed the total team effort their coaches had been looking for Friday night, and the result was a resounding 28-0 win over the previously unbeaten South Beauregard Knights in a non-district clash.
