Dogs cruise past LCCP, 54-27 on Homecoming

The Jennings Bulldogs reeled off their fifth consecutive victory Friday night by trouncing the Lake Charles College Prep Trailblazers (LCCP) by a final score of 54-27 at Jerry Simmons Stadium Friday night on Homecoming. The Dogs utilized a host of turnovers on defense and a strong night on the ground by senior running back Re’John Zeno, who rushed for five TD’s and over 100 yards on the night. The win moves the Dogs out to 5-1 on the season, 1-0 in district action. The Bulldogs built a 34-14 lead early in the third period, but LCCP wopuld rally to make it a close game at 34-27 late in the third stanza. However, as they have done all season long, Jennings would buckle down and take over the game in the final period to outscore the Blazers 20-0 in the final period to ultimately claim the lopsided win.

Hounds face tough test in Loranger

WELSH — The Welsh Greyhounds are coming off a strong win against the Eunice Bobcats, but now will jump into even deeper waters this week when they host class 4-A Loranger Wolves in their final non-district battle. The Wolves will travel to Welsh with an identical 3-2 record like the Greyhounds. “They have been a power in their area, and they have played teams that normally are very good,” said Welsh head coach Ronnie Courville. “The problem this year is that those teams have all played each other thus far, so it’s really hard to tell which team is good and which might just be average. They lost to Kentwood by one-point last week and Kentwood normally is a really good team. But the teams that they have beat and the teams they have lost to have played each other this season, so it makes it difficult to tell if they are all good teams or maybe they are all just average teams.”
