WELSH — If there was one concern about the schedule of the Welsh Greyhounds, it was the danger of injuries while facing such a daunting gauntlet.

LAKE ARTHUR — The Lake Arthur Tigers picked up their fifth win of the season Friday night when they claimed a thrilling 24-20 win over the Richwood Rams at Jack Doland Stadium. The win moves the Tigers out to 5-2 overall, while the Rams from Ouachita Parish fell to 0-6. The Tigers rolled up 206 yards on the ground offensively, and were led by senior back Carson Myers who piled up 101 stripes on 22 carries and a TD. Junior quarterback Jaxson Davis, who is coming off an injury for the most part of the season, churned up 78 yards on 11 totes. Richwood piled up 239 total yards of offense in the loss, with running back Andre Williams doing the bulk of the work with 175 yards on 29 carries.

WELSH — The Welsh Greyhounds overcame a disastrous start to take a halftime lead, but the Lafayette Renaissance Tigers battled back in the second half to claim a hard-fought 40-38 win in District 6-2A action. With the loss, the Hounds fell to 4-3 for the season and 0-1 in league play.

ELTON — The Friday night matchup between the Elton High Indians and the Hamilton Christian Warriors would put an end to one team’s winning streak. The Warriors would be the team to leave with the win moving them to 5-1, pushing their run to five consecutive victories. The Indians dropped to 5-2, ending their five-week run with the loss. The Indians would fight till the end of the district contest struggling to maintain control of the ball and eventually falling to the Warriors with a final score of 46-22.

Jennings improves to 6-1 with the win

Coming off an impressive win over the Lake Charles College Prep Trailblazers in week six, the Jennings Bulldogs now have another stiff test waiting for them tonight in the South Beauregard Golden Knights. The Dogs and the Knights are both sitting at 5-1 entering week seven and are only a slot away in the latest Division II Non- Select power ratings. The Dogs are currently at No. 10 and the Knights are at No. 11. The Dogs continue to ride high in the latest Louisiana Sportswriters Poll, as they jumped a spot to No. 3 in all of 3A this week. After a handful of lackluster seasons in the past, the Knights are primed to make a run at the district title this season. South Beauregard has wins over DeRidder (2612), Washington- Marion (38-14), Buckeye (35-7), Port Barre (49-15) and an impressive win last week against Kinder (48-26). The Knights’ only loss came to the Welsh Greyhounds in week four when they dropped a contest 29-0.

WELSH — The Welsh Greyhounds will enter the wars of District 6-2A riding a three-game winning streak after dispatching Class 4-A Loranger this past Friday. The Greyhounds sit at 4-2 for the season as they enter league action. The win was the second in a row over a Class 4-A opponent, including the Eunice Bobcats.

WELSH — Senior quarterback Jonovan Begnaud rushed for 201 yards and four touchdowns to pace the Welsh Greyhounds in a 40-15 drubbing of the Loranger Wolves in a nondistrict clash Friday night. With the win, the Hounds move to 4-2 for the season as they prepare to enter District 6-2A action next week. Begnaud also threw for one score on the night, but the news wasn’t all good for Welsh, as he suffered a broken collarbone midway through the third stanza.
