A swarming defense accounted for 16 of Breaux Bridge’s 23 points in a 23-6 District 5-4A victory over parish rival St. Martinville here last Friday.
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.
The Kaplan Pirates used a slashing, ball-control running attack to overpower St. Martinville and hand the homecoming Tigers a 42-13 shellacking last Friday.
The Breaux Bridge Tigers roared to a 28-0 lead over Westgate in three quarters before settling for a 28-15 win over the New Iberia Tigers last Friday. It was the first District 5-4A game for both teams, leaving The Bridge with a 2-2, 1-0 worksheet while Westgate stands at 2-2, 0-1.
