Games This Week

WEST ORANGE-STARK over LIBERTY—The Mustangs found out the hard way last week that if you turn the ball over multiple times you can get hurt. Those three early turnovers resulted in Hardin-Jefferson taking a 12-7 lead in the first period.

Fortunately, the ‘Stangs scored 42 straight points and won 49-12.

Things won’t be that easy at Liberty Friday as the Panthers try to even their record at 4-4.

However, it will not happen!! HUFFMAN over LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE—This will be the Battlin’ Bears final home game of the regular season with the winner being the undefeated sole leader in District 11-4A-I. The Bears have the home field advantage but the Falcons have the state ranking.

BRIDGE CITY over LIVINGSTON—The Cardinals are capable of playing a mistake-free game and that’s probably what it will take for this final road game of the year.

ORANGEFIELD over WARREN—The once-beaten Bobcats should remain that way after Friday night’s game at Warren, which stands at 2-6 this season.

Hopefully the ‘Cats will not look ahead to next week’s final regular-season game at Anahuac and just take care of business in this game.

VIDOR over BAYTOWN LEE—The Pirates have been playing better than a .500 team, yet they must win Friday night to attain that break-even mark.

They do it!! SAN AUGUSTINE over DEWEYVILLE—The Pirates run into another buzz- saw this week with the undefeated and state-ranked San Augustine team.

LAMAR over CENTRAL ARKANSAS—The Cardinals have a habit of finishing the regular season strong, so an upset over these visiting Golden Bears should follow the script for 2019 just like last season.

McNEESE STATE over NORTHWESTERN STATE—The Demons of Natchitoches always come to Lake Charles and give the Cowboys all they can handle.

This trip should be no different.
