The Abbeville Wildcats needed to beat the Jeanerette Tigers on Friday.
The week before, the Wildcats committed 11 turnovers and were beaten badly by Church Point.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Outweighed on both sides of the line, it mattered not to the Pios lined up against their bigger opponents. The outcome was typical of most past football games against Teurlings.
In a game that featured two 2-0 teams, Iota turned a 21-21 halftime tie into a runaway win, 42-21, thanks to a staunch defense led by the pass rushing of Tayte Langley (2 sacks) and a motivated group of run defenders.
If the field conditions were decent, Crowley High coach Jeptha Wall pretty much figured his Gents’ home contest against Cecilia Friday evening could possibly turn into a shootout.
They were and it was.
Despite a quick score by the Wolves early on during Friday night football action, the Eunice High Bobcats pulled off a 36-14 non-district win, a familiar storyline Rayne High has suffered during their first three games of the 2018 season.
