Sam Houston State routs Nicholls State 66-17

Playing as a ranked team for the first time in 10 years, the Nicholls State University football team struggled against top-5 Sam Houston State as the Colonels were defeated 66-17 Saturday night at Bowers Stadium.
Nicholls (2-2, 1-1) came into the matchup ranked No. 23 in the FCS Coaches Poll but was outmatched by the high-powered No. 3 Bearkats (3-0, 1-0). Sam Houston needed just 34 seconds to score, setting the tone for the rest of the night.
Down 21-0, Nicholls got on the board on a Lorran Fonseca field goal early in the second before the Bearkats answered with 38 straight points.
The Colonels were limited to 307 yards of offense and had a rough going on third down, converting 2-of-14.
Sam Houston totaled 619 yards with Jeremiah Briscoe leading the way with 305 yards passing and three touchdowns in three quarters.
Nicholls’ Chase Fourcade was 11-of-24 for 136 yards passing, had one interception and a late 57-yard touchdown pass to Damion Jeanpiere Jr. Jeanpiere, who entered the game leading the Football Championship Subdivision in receiving yards, had four grabs for 95 yards.
Sam Houston struck first with its own long bomb, scoring on a 56-yard touchdown catch by Nathan Stewart.
Back-to-back rushing touchdowns made it 21-0 before Nicholls cracked the scoring column with 10 minutes remaining in the half. Fonseca, who was just named Southland Conference Special Teams Player of the Week, kicked a 37-yarder for the Colonels’ only points in the first three quarters.
The Bearkats found the end zone two more times before the break and added a field goal for a commanding 38-3 advantage.
The second half was much of the same with the ‘Kats forcing three straight three-and-outs, and their offense continued to roll, extending their lead to 59-3 in the third.
The Colonels finally found the end zone on the deep ball to Jeanpiere with 13 minutes remaining in the game.
Sam Houston added its ninth touchdown before Donnell Adair scored on a 1-yard run for his first career touchdown for the final margin.
Tuskani Figaro led the Colonels with 63 yards rushing on seven carries — all in the fourth quarter. Stewart paced the ‘Kats with seven receptions for 147 yards and two scores.
Darryl Adams Jr. and Corey Abraham led the Colonel defense with eight tackles each, and Sully Laiche added a sack.

East Texas Baptist wins high-scoring contest

Scoring 45 points in the second half, including 24 straight, the East Texas Baptist University football team used its offense to unload on the Belhaven University Blazers 79-40.
This marks the third time in the last two seasons East Texas Baptist has scored more than 70 points.
It also improves their record to 3-0 this season for the second consecutive year, and they are now 2-0 in American Southwest Conference play.
“It was a see-saw battle in the first half, and I think that the difference was we never lost our poise, even on defense, as we stiffened up in the second half,” East Texas Baptist Head Coach Scott Highsmith said in a news release. “This was good for us. It was good for us to be behind and have to fight and fight for this victory. I am just proud of them.”
Dru Smith once again led the offense with 408 passing yards on 26-of-35 attempts with four touchdown passes. Justin Ward (74 yards) and Dominic Haggerty (70 yards) both had nine rushes and 70-plus yards rushing.
Cameron Goodlett caught 10 passes for 112 yards, while Xavier Gray added 163 yards on five receptions. Both players had two touchdown receptions.
Defensively, Ty Parsons and Caleb Taylor were the leading tacklers with 14 and 12 stops, respectively. CJ Johnson added nine tackles, including 4.5 sacks. East Texas Baptist had 10 sacks.
Zack Biles made his mark with an 84-yard pick six in the third quarter.
East Texas Baptist’s offense finished with 632 yards of total offense, 455 of those in the air.
East Texas Baptist was six-for-six on scoring drives when it reached the red zone.
Belhaven’s Hunter McEachern completed 33-of-51 passes for 482 yards and six touchdown passes.
Belhaven’s Jacob McNeil caught 11 passes for 184 yards and a touchdown, while LaMar Caradine caught five passes and 102 yards, which included three touchdown receptions.
Despite giving up an early touchdown, East Texas Baptist responded with three scores, coming from touchdown runs by Smith and Ward, while Gray caught a 25 yard pass from Smith.
Belhaven answered with two touchdowns, but a missed extra point cost them a chance to tie it at 21.
East Texas Baptist then scored two more touchdowns on passes from Smith to Tarek Beaugard (13 yards) and a 91-yard strike to Gray.
The Blazers cut their deficit to 34-26 at halftime.
In the third quarter, East Texas Baptist added to its lead with a 32-yard rush by Haggerty and a 22 yard reception by Goodlett.
Though Belhaven answered with a touchdown to make it 48-32, East Texas Baptist’s 24 straight points were the difference as a Ryan Travis field goal, an 84-yard pick-six from Biles, a four yard rush from Ward, and a three-yard pass to Goodlett had East Texas Baptist up 72-32.
Both teams had one final touchdown, with Brian Baca scoring from six-yards out for East Texas Baptist.
Patterson High alum Sirbatian Charles, an East Texas Baptist redshirt sophomore defender, had five total tackles (two solo and three assists), while Berwick High alum and East Texas Baptist true freshman defender Larenz Clark had one solo tackle.
