Wayfaring Stranger

If you’ve never heard the American folk song Wayfaring Stranger, you owe it to yourself to look it up. My favorite version is the one sung by Charlie Haden, but there are many beautiful versions. The song is very meaningful for anyone who is facing death or who has ever lost someone who they love. The first verse laments “I am a poor wayfaring stranger, wandering through this world of woe. And there’s no sickness, toil, or danger in that bright world to which I go.

The 2-1 Jennings Bulldogs are coming off another impressive victory that stretched their winstreak to two games after lopsided wins over Eunice (34-0) and Welsh (54-29). However, a stiff test awaits them this week at Jerry Simmons Stadium when the Northwest Raiders come to town. The Raiders were a Division II Non-Select Semi-Final team a season ago and returned a good core group of players from that squad. The Raiders jumped out to a 2-1 start to open the season and came into the year ranked No. 5 in the LHSAA Sportswriters Class 3A preseason polls. They have wins over Class 4A Eunice (21 14) and Class 4A Rayne (50-14) before falling in a week three thriller to Class 5A Barbe 35-32 in a barnburner that went back and forth.
