WELSH — When your team accumulates 581 total yards of offense and your defense limits the opponents to 107 yards, it’s not difficult to know who wins that game. Such was the case Friday night at Greyhound Stadium, as the Welsh Greyhounds jumped to an early lead and then cruised to a 55-0 win over the visiting Lake Arthur Tigers. With the win, the Hounds have won six straight games to move to 6-2 for the season and 3-0 in District 5-2A action, while the Tigers drop their third straight to fall to 4-4 overall and 0-3 in league play.
