Chiefs look to bounce back
The West Ouachita Chiefs (2-6, 1-2 district 3-4A) will be at home this Friday night as they host the Franklin Parish Patriots (3-5,1-2) in a game that has major playoff implications for both teams.
"We have to win out," West Ouachita head coach Mitch Thomas said. "It is that simple. We made some mistakes as a team and as coaches that we must correct this week."
West Ouachita is coming off a 19-14 loss at Ruston in which West Ouachita blew a 14-0 first quarter lead in the district tilt.
The game ended on a sour note for the Chiefs. A fumble that appeared to slip through the hands of the Ruston quarterback and was subsequently picked up and returned for a go-ahead touchdown by West Ouachita was ruled not a fumble and Ruston kept the ball and ran out the clock.
Th Chiefs were led by senior quarterback T.J. Murphy who completed three-of-10 pass attempts for 123 yards including a 91-yard touchdown pass on a screen to running back Billy Minnifield in the first quarter at Ruston.
Murphy also opened the scoring on a one-yard touchdown run that would be the only points the Chiefs could muster.
Ruston rolled up 283 yards and two touchdowns rushing with most of it coming in the second half.
Ruston quarterback Colby Johnson also passed for a four-yard touchdown pass to Mario Howard in the fourth quarter to put Ruston ahead for good.
Franklin Parish is coming off a 42-9 loss to likely district champion and state championship contender Neville last week.
Neville rolled up 356 yards of total offense (187 rushing, 169 passing) compared to just 115 rushing and zero yards passing for Franklin Parish.
Franklin quarterback Tyler Roberts went 0-for-3 while Taylor Burch completed 10-of-15 pass attempts for 169 yards.
Noble Johnson continues to lead the Franklin Parish rushing attack from week to week.
The Franklin Parish defense closed out the scoring with under three minutes left in the game with a safety following a high snap from the Neville center.
ESPN 97.7 FM will broadcast the game live at 6:30 p.m. This will be the final home game of the season for the Chiefs. |
