The Logansport Tigers earned their school record 16 consecutive victory win a 42-0 over the Lakeview Gators. The previous record of 15 wins was held by the 1995 Tiger team. Next up for the Tigers is a match up with the Class 4A Bossier Bearkats. Both teams will come into the game undefeated at 2-0. The Tigers’ started the game fast and were able to play virtually the entire team before it was over.

After forcing Lakeview to punt, the Tigers took over on their own 37 yard line. On the first play quarterback Dalton Shaw tossed a screen pass to Madrid Johnson. Johnson was able to work his way through the defense for a 67 yard touchdown. On the extra point, the Tigers reached into the playbook and came away with a 2 point conversion on a pass from Dayton West to Dakota Moody and an 8-0 lead.

Coming off of a 49-12 victory over the Huntington Raiders, Friday Coach Mike Green and the Mansfield Wolverines (1-1) football team hosted the Carroll Bulldogs (1- 1). The Wolverines took to the field without starting quarterback LaKendrick Ross. He is recovering from a shoulder injury he suffered during last week's game late in the first half. He probably miss 2-4 weeks. Mansfield was also without starting receiver Jamal Jackson after he injured his thumb in the same game. Despite losing two starters, the Wolverines fought hard but fell to the Bulldogs 26-18.

The game was much closer than the final score would indicate. The teams traded scores for most of the game but the Wolverines could not stop the Bulldogs rushing attack allowing a total of 186 yards and 3 touchdowns. Mansfield trailed 20- 18 at halftime.
