The Delhi Bears and the DCS Gators upped their records this week, while the Mangham Dragons and Rayville Hornets fell a notch in non-district football action.
Delhi vs. Vidalia, 40-27
The Delhi Bears racked up their second victory of the season Friday by defeating the Vidalia Vikings 40-27.
The Riverfield Academy Raiders posted their second win of the season this past Friday night as they defeated the Hillcrest Cougars by a score of 41-0.
The win gives the Raiders a 2-0 district standing and brings them to 2-2 overall.
From the onset of the contest, it became pretty obvious that the Raiders were the strongest of the two teams. Offensively, the Raiders scored two first quarter touchdowns and four in the second quarter. Defensively, the Raiders shut down all scoring attempts by the Cougars. The Raiders went into half time with a very solid lead of 39-0.
The Riverfield Academy Raiders were at home this past Friday night where they hosted the River Oaks Mustangs.
It is usually an exciting and intense game when Riverfield and River Oaks match up and Friday night’s game was no different. In a low scoring contest, the Raiders came up short, losing by a score of 9-6 in overtime.
River Oaks took the opening kick off and in four plays took the ball 72 yards to score their only touchdown of the night. They missed the PAT, so with just a little over two minutes gone off the clock, the Mustangs had an early lead of 6-0.
The Delhi Bears topped the host Mangham Dragons football team 44-27 in Friday’s season opener.
With the win, the Bears start their season at 1-0 as they travel to Vidalia this Friday to take on the Vikings. The Vikings are also 1-0 after defeating Sicily Island 34-7.
Mangham starts the season at 0-1 as the Dragons prepare to host St. Frederick Sept. 7.
The Warriors are coming into the outing with a record of 1-0 after a 30-7 win against D’Arbonne Woods.
Coming off a hard loss in their season opener, the Riverfield Academy Raiders took to the road once again this past Friday night to take on the Porters Chapel Eagles in Vicksburg, Miss.
The Raiders took charge of the contest early and came up with their first win of the season which was also a district game.
The Raider offense looked sharp and seemed to get stronger as the night progressed. The Raider defensive unit did its job as well, forcing six Eagle turnovers, including one second quarter Pick Six by Ty Skeldon.
