Meet the Logansport Tigers 2021

The Many Bass Club held its September 2021 Tournament the weekend of September 11 on Toledo Bend. Participants had the option to fish Friday Night, Saturday, Saturday Night or Sunday. The weather was hot and dry for the entire weekend with high temperatures still touching the nineties; water temperatures were in the mid-eighties, and hazy skies welcomed the anglers. The Lake level had fallen nearly a foot in the month prior to the tournament and was down to 168.15 by tournament time. Eleven anglers participated in the tournament, and only four of the anglers were able to catch a five fish limit under the tough conditions. The winning stringer which included an impressive 11.03 pound Lunker was caught Friday night in deep water. The Second and Third place stringers were caught Saturday in shallow water.

It’s been a rough start for the Griffins to begin the season. With some bad losses the first three weeks, they’re still believing that scheduling big early will pay off. The schedule didn’t get any easier this week as Sterlington came to town.

Griffins kicked off to begin the game. Sterlington came out fast and scored quickly with a few runs before a big pass to the endzone. The Panthers took an early lead 7-0 with 10:31 left. Much like the first three weeks of the season, the Griffin offense struggled to get going early, as they went three and out on their first drive. Sterlington came out moving the ball well again on their next drive, but the Griffin defense was able to hold them to just a field goal. The score was 10-0 with 3:24 left.

David Atkins got the offense going with a couple big runs, but then they stalled and had to punt to end the first quarter.

Logansport Junior High Beats Mansfield Junior High 20-8

The Mansfield High School Wolverines fought to the finish in their home game Friday night, September 17, but could not pull out the win against the Red River Bulldogs in a game the announcer referred to as “The Battle of I-49.” The final score was Red River 54, Mansfield 44.

The MHS Wolverine Football team was not successful in their bid to defeat the Huntington Raiders on Friday, September 10, at Washington-Taylor-Rogers Stadium at MHS. The Wolverines were never able to overcome an early lead established by the Raiders, and the final score was HHS 40, MHS 20.

First quarter action was back-and-forth between the two teams as the Raiders were able to get 2 touchdowns on the Wolverines. The Wolverine QB DaKeldrick Thomas was able to complete a 50+ yard pass to WR #4 D’Quinton Robinson. This pass set up the touchdown pass from Thomas to Robinson, and a quarterback keeper garnered 2 extra points. The first quarter ended with hopes for an evenly matched ballgame, as the score was HHS 14, MHS 8.

The strength of the 4A Huntington Raiders became evident during the second quarter as the Raiders were able to score two touchdowns on the Wolverines. The first half ended with a score of HHS 28, MHS 8.

Football season is back and the Griffins we’re excited for a huge game week one with the Captain Shreve Gators. The Griffins were excited and ready to face off. With a team lead by several seniors on both sides of the ball, they hoped to carry over the momentum they gained towards the end of last season. It was finally time for the Griffins to show off their hard work.

The MHS Wolverines started their season opener looking at little rusty for the first half, but came back with a vengeance to overcome a halftime deficit to secure a win over the Evangel Christian Academy Eagles on Friday, September 3, on the ECA field in Shreveport.

The MHS Wolverines started off with the ball in the Friday night game, and things started out looking promising with a pass from QB Dakeldrick Thomas to WR DQuinton Robinson. However, at the end of Q1, neither MHS or ECA were able to put any points on the scoreboard at Duron Field.
