A reason for optimism?
September 27, 2016
CENTRAL LAFOURCHE – 41
SOUTH LAFOURCHE – 34
This game had everything. It had offense, emotion and tons of drama. When it was all said and done, the Trojans walked away with the win, taking advantage of four Tarpons turnovers to secure the victory. The Trojans now begin league play on Friday night against H.L. Bourgeois.
EAST ST. JOHN – 34
H.L. BOURGEOIS – 13
The Wildcats are back, folks. After a very down season in 2015, East St John is again among the favorites in the Bayou District – a perch the team enjoyed for many, many seasons in their heyday. For the Braves, offense has been incredibly inconsistent after scoring 45 points on opening night against South Terrebonne.
THIBODAUX – 34
TERREBONNE – 23
Terrebonne started slow on Friday night and never recovered, falling to the now-3-1 Thibodaux team. Amik Robertson was absolutely fantastic in the victory, scoring in a laundry list of ways to power Thibodaux, which now heads into a huge battle with East St. John.
ELLENDER – 28
PATTERSON – 26
Ellender can play, folks. Beating Patterson e never an easy chore – especially not on the road. The Patriots’ defense is much, much better than it’s been in years past and the end result e a 3-1 start that has the team hopeful of a postseason push. Now, if only the team could get a home game or two down the stretch, everything would be set.
DUTCHTOWN – 30
SOUTH TERREBONNE – 0
The Gators have to get back to the offensive basics after going a fourth-straight game without scoring an offensive touchdown. South Terrebonne is a well-coached. We suspect that they’ll be pushing forward here pretty soon. But the beginning to this season has been nothing short of a nightmare.
VANDEBILT – 38
CCA – 0
It was always going to be an uphill battle for CCA against Vandebilt – a much bigger school. But without Caleb Seitz, the Lions didn’t offer much resistance, falling behind early in a huge Terriers win. Vandebilt now is positioned for a Week 5 battle with Newman – a significant power in Class 2A.
KAPLAN – 34
E.D. WHITE – 18
Kaplan is a good football team, and E.D. White pushed those guys for the entire game. But the Cardinals just didn’t quite have the firepower to get the victory it needed. E.D. White’s schedule is about to lighten up a tad, and we suspect they’ll find the winner’s circle as it does. They have the talent, but right now, just need a little bit of a push to get through.
BEN FRANKLIN – 14
HOUMA CHRISTIAN – 13
The Warriors stepped up in class and played a Class 4A foe on Friday night on the road. One wouldn’t have hardly been able to tell. Houma Christian pushed Ben Franklin to the limit for the entire game before falling by just a single point – one of the top games of the night.
Next week’s schedule
