PINE PRAIRIE - In a must win for both teams in order to stay in the playoff picture, the Ville Platte Bulldogs used a suffocating defensive effort to shut out the Pine Prairie Panthers 12-0 here Friday night.

If anything, the Mamou Demon football season has not been a total loss. Even with an 0-8 record, Mamou has definitely shown their resiliency in one of the toughest districts in the state, regardless of class.

This past Friday night, the Basile Bearcats had a golden opportunity against the False River Gators.

What started out to be a homecoming celebration for the Sacred Heart Trojans, in reality turned out to be a disappointing party, as they fell 12-9 to the West St. Mary Wolfpack this past Friday night.

For the Ville Platte Bulldogs and the Pine Prairie Panthers it all comes down to the last two games of the season to determine if either team will get an extra game and be a part of the 2016 Class 3A playoffs.

PINE PRAIRIE – The Pine Prairie Panthers did not have any passing yards in Thursday’s game against District 5-3A opponent Port Barre.

MAMOU – Facing another top five team in Class 2A, the Mamou Demons have not had an easy go of it for the second week in a row, as they fell hard to the Welsh Greyhounds 42-2 here Friday night.

VILLE PLATTE - It was a sloppy loss in more ways than one.
A combination of mud and poor execution doomed the Ville Platte Bulldogs, who lost 54-6 to the undefeated Northwest Raiders Friday evening.

VILLE PLATTE - If Sacred Heart can point to one factor in their 12-9 homecoming loss to West St. Mary, it has to be the numerous mistakes committed by the Trojans.
According to Trojan head coach Josh Haper, its the same old story just a different chapter.

The 2016 season has not gone as planned for the Pine Prairie Panthers, as they stand at 2-5 on the season and have dropped five of their last six games.
