If anyone wanted to see four quarters of high school football action, Independence Stadium in Shreveport on Friday, September 1, 2023, was the place to be. While the faithful Wolverine fans did not get to leave Shreveport celebrating a victory, the fans did get to see that the 2023-2024 Wolverine Varsity Football Team, led by Head Coach Darrell Barbay, will be a force to be reckoned with this season.
The entire season opener was a back-andforth football game. The Wolverines were the first to score in the opening minutes as Junior Quarterback #7 Sharmal Booker was able to complete an 81 yard pass to Junior Receiver #2 Kalvin Jackson. The Huntington Raiders quickly answered with a score of their own, and the tone was set for the night. An additional touchdown pass from Booker to Jackson brought the first quarter to an end with the Wolverines on top; MHS 12, HHS 8.
