Central Catholic and Hanson Memorial will enter their District 8-1A contest Thursday in Morgan City with mixed results last week.
Central Catholic (2-3 overall, 1-0 in district) broke a two-game losing streak with a 42-6 victory against Centerville a week ago in its District 8-1A opener.
Meanwhile, Hanson Memorial’s two-game winning streak was snapped a week ago with a 50-7 loss to Vermilion Catholic in the Tigers’ (2-3, 0-1) District 8-1A opener.
“Their numbers are down a little bit, but when you look at them, Coach (Chris) Sanders has got them playing hard,” Central Catholic Coach Tommy Minton said. “That’s the one thing that sticks out to you when you cut the film on is they play hard. They got a lot of guys playing both ways and on special teams, and yet every play they go out there and they play hard.”
Offensively, the Tigers utilize a spread offense.
“I find their running backs, especially the two Foulcard kids, they run the ball really, really really hard,” Minton said.
The Tigers also have utilized Braden Loustalot and Collin Faucheaux.
“Both of those kids are athletic and can do some things with the ball in their hands, too, so we need to do a good job upfront,” Minton said. “I think that’s our advantage on both sides of the ball is we’re better than them at the line of scrimmage, and we’re going to have to take advantage of that.”
Defensively, Minton said Hanson uses an odd front.
“They mix it up,” he said.
“They play zone and man. I think they’ll probably play man against us and crowd the line of scrimmage because we’re such a run-heavy team.”
Davidyione Bias leads the Central Catholic run game with 113 carries for 588 yards and 10 touchdowns. Hugh Hamer has contributed 45 carries for 277 yards and two touchdowns, while Kye Morgel has rushed 24 times for 199 yards and three touchdowns for Central Catholic.
Through the air, Central Catholic quarterback Ryan Miller has completed 34 of 53 passes for 450 yards with three touchdowns and five interceptions.
Nathan Hebb is Miller’s leading receiver with 12 receptions for 162 yards and a touchdown.
Thursday’s game is set for a 7 p.m. at Tiger Stadium.

BATON ROUGE (AP) — Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards and his Republican opponent Eddie Rispone are trading attacks in their first TV ads of the Louisiana governor’s runoff election.
In his 30-second spot released statewide Tuesday, the Deep South’s only Democratic governor suggests that Rispone would return Louisiana to the deficit-riddled days of Republican former Gov. Bobby Jindal.
Rispone’s two new ads — which his campaign said will start airing on Wednesday — double down on the Republican contender’s efforts to tie himself to President Donald Trump, using highlights from Trump’s anti-Edwards rally and not showing Rispone at all.
Speaking directly to the camera, Edwards talks about his bipartisan work to stabilize state finances, an angle aimed at winning the cross-party support he’ll need to defeat Rispone in the Nov. 16 runoff.
“Now we have a choice to make: Let Eddie Rispone drag us back to the deficits and cuts to health care and education of Bobby Jindal or continue moving forward and investing in our future. That is what this election is about,” Edwards says.
Rispone, a wealthy Baton Rouge businessman who has largely self-financed his campaign, has pledged to cut taxes but hasn’t offered any specifics about where he would shrink spending to match the reduced state income.
He has said he could run government more efficiently and reduce waste.
He also has talked, without details, of holding a constitutional convention to rework provisions governing the budget and taxes, among other items.
But none of those policy positions are featured in Rispone’s 15- and 30-second ads.
Those spots feature Trump speaking at a Lake Charles rally last week in which he supported both Rispone and Republican candidate Ralph Abraham, who didn’t reach the runoff.
In one ad, the president hits Edwards for “raising your taxes, killing your jobs, attacking your industries.”
The other shows the president describing Rispone as “pro-jobs, pro-worker, pro-family, pro-life.”
“You’ve got to vote John Bel Edwards out,” Trump says in both ads.
Edwards was forced into the runoff against Rispone when the Democratic incumbent failed to top 50% of the vote in Saturday’s primary.
Rispone and Republicans have sought to nationalize the Louisiana governor’s race, tying Edwards to national Democratic leaders in the red state that Trump won by 20 points.
Throughout the campaign, Rispone touted his support for Trump and suggested he’s a candidate in the mold of the nontraditional president.
Edwards has downplayed national political issues, instead focusing on achievements in office such as winning bipartisan support for the tax deal that ended nearly a decade of budget crises and created surpluses. He’s talked of the state’s new investments in public colleges and the first statewide teacher raise in a decade.
