State bragging rights on the line with four Arkansas-Louisiana showdowns
MONROE, La. (KNOE) - Week two of the high school football season has arrived, and it comes in with a bang.
State bragging rights are on the line with four Arkansas-Louisiana showdowns. The Game of the Week features two up-and-coming programs looking for a signature victory.
For years, Wossman vs. Ouachita has been heated on the hardwood. Can the intensity carry over on the field? The Lion’s Den was ready to roar as the Wildcats made the seven-mile trip to Millhaven.
Ouachita put a beating on Wossman in a 54-6 final score.
The Lions are week two’s Farm Bureau Game of the Week.
Over at West Monroe, the Rebels were out for revenge.
Last year, Pulaski Academy hung 67 points on the once mighty Rebs.
The West Monroe Rebels’ defense outscored the Bruins in the second half of WMHS vs. Lake Bruin. West Monroe won 31-17.
Over at Bill Ruple Stadium, Neville’s tough non-district schedule continues. The second week of Friday Night Blitz, they faced off against a Calvary squad that beat Oak Grove by 23 points last week.
With a 38-14 final, the Neville comeback was powered by Parker Robinson.
For the first time ever, a football team from Winnsboro is ranked number one in the state. Head Coach Adrain Burnette says the honor is nice, but it is the final ranking that they are chasing.
Tonight, they made a trip to Chip Luffey to square off against St. Frederick.
Franklin Parish wins 48-7.
With a victory over General Trass, Rayville raced away with the Little Caesars Team of the Week last week. Tonight is a bigger challenge, figuring out a way to play with the defending state champs, Sterlington.
Panthers roll in this one with a victory score of 48-14.
State bragging rights are on the line as Ruston makes a trip to Cabot, Arkansas.
Bearcats hammered Acadiana last week, and they’re looking to do the same against a Cabot squad that has been outscored 118-38.
The Bearcats came out on top with a final score of 63-28.
Mangham Dragons faced off with the Richwood Rams. This is not the first time this season the two have battled it out on the gridiron.
Mangham beat the Rams at Bayou Jamb a few weeks ago, 28-8.
The week two game ended up going into overtime, with a final score of 34-28. The Dragons came out on top.
At Steven Fitshugh Field, the Eagles played host to General Trass. The Panthers advanced to the state semis last year, but got off to a shaky start last week with a loss to Rayville.
Eagles took home the win against General Trass with a 49-0 score.
West Ouachita and Jonesboro-Hodge got off to a shaky start this season, and both teams hoped to bounce back in week two.
