St. Martinville got by the first hurdle in its quest to capture the mythical parish football championship, but coach Danny Carroll’s Tigers face a big obstacle when they host Breaux Bridge on Friday.
A fired up Tiger defense delivered five turnovers and limited Northside to less than 100 yards in a rousing 33-0 homecoming victory here last Friday.
And the Breaux Bridge attack delivered more than enough firepower, racing to a 21-0 halftime lead before coasting to the shutout win.
The two halves of last Friday’s intraparish showdown between Cecilia and St. Martinville were like two different games. The homestanding Bulldogs roared to a 28-7 halftime lead, piling up more than 200 rushing yards on the legs of Raymond Calais and Damon Patt.
St. Thomas More’s undefeated Cougars exploded for 49 first half points on their way to a lopsided 62-16 District 5-4A victory over Cecilia last week.
Breaux Bridge has already suffered two narrow defeats this season and last Friday’s 21-14 loss to District 5-4A rival Teurlings Catholic was another tough one to swallow.
