Lucky Seven
Hahnville is been on an absolute tear for most of the season, and they haven’t lost in nearly two months. After losing two of their first three games, they’ve won seven straight, and none of them have really been close since a one-score win on September 22nd. They just won their first district title in five years.

The Tigers are doing it on both sides of the ball during their streak as well. Defensively, they’ve shutout their opponents in two of their past three games, and have held opponents to under two scores in six of their ten games. Offensively, they’ve scored 300 points during their 7 game winning streak.
Denham Looking to Bounce Back
This is Denham Springs second straight week on Yurview, after they ran into the buzzsaw that is Scotlandville last Friday. Scotlandville prevailed in a 50-27 game that saw Denham Springs bring in backup quarterback Luke Lunsford, who promptly threw two touchdowns. The Yellow Jackets have now lost three of the last four. With the playoffs here, they cannot afford another L.
Players to Watch

RB Tyre Golmond Jr. – Denham Springs
He’s the Yellow Jackets all-time leading rusher, and he put up 329 yards and three scores two weeks ago against Central. He’s got that confidence all great backs have.
