Mansfield High advances to 2nd Round

Article Image Alt Text

The Mansfield High School Wolverines survived a home scare, beating South Plaquemines High 16-14 in the first round of LHSAA playoffs.

South Plaquemines kicked off to Mansfield to begin the game, and a decent return had the Wolverines set up at the 30-yard line. However, the game was played between the 30-yard lines as the teams traded punts and battled for field position.

With seven minutes remaining in the first quarter, Adrian Green caught a 32-yard pass for a touchdown. Brandon Adams successfully ran in the two-point conversion, giving Mansfield an 8-0 lead. However, the Hurricanes did squeak into the end zone with a one-yard rushing plunge.

North DeSoto Wrestling Daddy Duels

Article Image Alt Text

SPORTS

The North DeSoto wrestling program will hold their 2nd Annual Daddy Duals on November 26, 2018 at 7:00 pm inside the North DeSoto High School gym. There will be four matches, a halftime, and then another set of four matches. The ninth match is being billed as the headliner, as Assistant Principal Russell Tabor will face off against Josh Sarpy. Sarpy’s entertaining callout and Tabor’s Facebook video response serve as great hype features, and the matches should be just as entertaining.

Last year, the students won the overall match against the dads. Assistant Principal Tabor states in his video that the dad’s were “taken by surprise” but he believes the newly recruited dads has given them “a pretty solid lineup top to bottom.”

Mansfield football falls short

Article Image Alt Text

By: Chris Dodson

The crowd was tense at Friday's game versus Calvary Baptist Academy Cavaliers and the hosting Mansfield Wolverines. Calvary Baptist prevailed over Mansfield 27- 16. Calvary and Mansfield both now sport a 6-3 record going into the final season.

The opening kickoff went to Calvary, and they returned the ball to near midfield. However, the Wolverines defense held and Calvary punted the ball away. A big return by Mansfield now gave them the ball near midfield. The Wolverines could not capitalize on the good return, fumbling the ball away before making a first down.
