West Monroe eyes district title
The West Monroe Rebels will look to secure another outright district championship when they host the Captain Shreve Gators this Friday night at 7 p.m.
West Monroe (8-0, 7-0 district 1-5A) remained the top-ranked team in Class 5-A again this week. The win at Natchitoches Central last Friday was the 34th consecutive regular season win for the Rebels.
"We played hard," West Monroe head coach Don Shows said. "We took care of business from the very beginning of the game."
Quarterback D.J. Banks was 8-of-13 for 131 yards and three touchdowns for the Rebels against a Natchitoches Central team that could do little for themselves on offense. The Rebels limited the Chiefs to just 22-yards rushing in the contest. A second-quarter touchdown run was the lone score of the game for Natchitoches Central.
The Captain Shreve Gators come to Rebel Stadium this week with upset on their minds. The Gators let a 21-0 third quarter lead slip away in Shreveport a year ago against West Monroe.
Captain Shreve (2-5) is led on offense by running back Greg Washington, who is currently averaging more than 100 yards in district play this season. Washington rushed for 129 yards against a stout Ouachita defense two weeks ago and continues to be the leader of the Gators offensive attack.
West Monroe will continue to try to involve more of its offense as teams have been gunning to take running back Ladarius Abrams out of the fold. Banks has opened up the Rebels passing game since the start of district play.
Full back Eric Talton, who had 75 yards rushing last week, has also emerged as a threat to make a big play against opposing defenses.
"We have to continue to be focused," Shows said. "Defensivley we have to play our assignments and play aggressive. We know Captain Shreve will come ready to play the Rebels."
The once mighty Captain Shreve passing attack has seen its share of turnover problems this season. The Gators have five interceptions over the last two games.
Airline used a couple of prime turnovers to shutout Captain Shreve last week, 14-0. It was the first shutout in nearly three years for the Gators. |
