However, the Chiefs (4-4, 0-2) came back with the first of sophomore running back Tiger Waller's two fourth-quarter scores and quarterback Chad Hatten hit Greg Lumpkin with a 65-yard touchdown pass to offset a 66-yard scoring pass from Holloway to josh Keith to pull within a touchdown with six minutes to play. After an interception, the Chiefs then went ahead. 36-35, on a Waller 3-yard run with 2:45 to play.

Waller had 217 yards on the night on 35 carries. "I knew we left too much time on the clock (after the score)," West Ouachita first-year coach Brian SPRINGHILL 33, PARKWAY 31 By Jim Dawson Special to The Times HAUGHTON For those Haughton Buccaneers fans who hadn't made it to Six Flags this year, last nighfs 43-36 fourth-quarter come from behind win over the West Ouachita Chiefs was enough of a roller coaster ride to last them for more than a while. With the two teams combining for 42 fourth-quarter points, it took a fumble recovery by Haughton's Marlon Montgomery at the Bucs 32-yard line with less than 30 seconds remaining to seal the win. After a 15-15 halftime tie, Haughton (7-1. 30 in District 2-4A) had appeared to put the game away after a late third-quarter 4-yard scoring pass from Seth Holloway to 9 a Springhill survives Parkway comeback.

By Brian McCallum The Times With both teams covering the basics like blocking and tackling, it was the hands of Cedrick Mendenhall and the ami of David Thomas that was the difference Friday for Springhill. The two connected five times, including three times in the end zone, and the Lumberjacks (6-2) went home with a 33-31 non-district win over Parkway in Bossier City. For a Panthers team that lost 17 games in a row before getting three wins so far this season, the loss to a Class 2A power was disappointing and encouraging at the same time. "It's not even close," Springhill coach Benny Reeder said of comparing the 2001 Panthers which lost 35-6 on the Lumberjacks' home field to the 2002 version which almost pulled off the comeback after trailing 33-24 with just minutes to play. "We told the kids all week they weren't playing the Parkway of old." This is a Panthers team which moves the ball, mostly through the air.

Chuck Beverage passed for 339 yards three touchdowns Friday, completing passes to eight ball handlers. "Offensively, we did just as well as we could do," first-year Parkway coach Jim Gatlin said. "They went toe-to-toe with an established program in North Louisiana, even though they are 2A The coaching staff can't complain about the effort Montgomery Holloway Fine said. And Fine's fears were proven when Holloway led the Buccaneers down the field for the go-ahead score on a 21-yard touchdown pass to Matt Moreland at the 2:07 mark. Fine's concern over the time remaining was echoed by Haughton head coach Rodney Guin.

"It was back-and-back there and we had to have a big play at a big time." The fumble recovery by Montgomery was as big a play as he could have hoped for. "I thought after Grant (Dunlop) scored with that fumble, that they (West Ouachita) would lay down and quit," Montgomery said. "But they kept coming back and coming back.

Montgomery had a big night for the Bucs, also scoring on a 60-vard second-quarter pass from Holloway, who was 20-for-31 on the night for 349 yards, and adding a big two-point conversion on their last score. "It was scary out there," Montgomery said of the final quarter. "I knew someone had to step up and make a big play." ft. 4 ft Burrow added 78 yards rushing late in the game. Hester's 5-yard run gave Evangel a first quarter lead before the Eagles jumi)ed the Raiders for three scores in the second quarter.

A 90-yard drive on 12 plays highlighted by a Booty 17-yard pass to Denny Duron set the stage for Booty's 5-yard scoring run. Tliat gave Evangel a 12-0 lead. A crossing route by Campbell allowed Booty to hit him with a 17-yard spiral with 5:38 left in the first half tliat gave the Eagles their third touchdown. Campbell also caught a two-point pass from Booty over the middle to make it 200. age for Northwood's offense.

Casey finished the night with 150 yards on 22 touches and three touchdowns. Casey ran the ball so hard that when he touched the ball, Woodlawn's secondary pinclwd hard toward the line of scrimmage to provide support to the ulterior front Une. Casey faked the run and passed out of the backfield twice for 68 yards. A 40-yard pass to Marquis Robinson was crucial, setting up his 2-yard plunge with a than a minute to play in the first half. Ouachita increased hs lead to 10-0 with a 32-yard field goal by Clint Martin with 8:57 nmiaining in the third quarter.

Another massive drive by Byrd, which carried over from the third quarter into the fourth, again stalled as a 28-yard field goal attempt was blocked. "They're so much bigger than us," Suggs said. "We were able to move the ball on them when we didnl make mistakes. It just seemed every time we got going, we had a penalty or busted assignment" Only on their final possession did the Yellow Jackets score. A 46-yard run by Trashon Rainey.

Nor can Springhill's for the most part. The Lumberjacks brought out a quietly dangerous passing attack which used just two players -Mendenhall, the tight end, and Thomas, the quarterback. "Coach already told me in practice this week what they were going to do," Mendenhall said. "He told me where the safety would be, and he fold me 1 would be wide open.

People dont expect a tight end to be really fast" Mendenhall covered or not was devastating to the Panthers in the first half. He caught scoring passes of 73, 39 and 27 yards. The long one came on the second play of the game, when he found himself open by 20 yards, but he proved he could gather the ball in traffic on Springhill's next pass play its second touchdown by coming down with the ball for the 39-yard score in the end zone. Parkway's developing passing game kept the Panthers in the game however. Beverage began to find receivers across the field and passed for 156 yards in the first half, connecting with Roderick Moore and Tony Griggs for scoring tosses of 9 and 15 yards.

The Lumberjacks took a 26-17 lead into halftime, and after a scoreless third quarter the teams, got -back into the offensive battle. Chad Beverage caught a tipped ball from his quarterback brother for a 10-yard score to make it 26-24, and after a 3-yard run by Springhill's Daniel Cooper, the Panthers drove downfield in and scored on a Marcus Jeter 3-yard run with 18 seconds remaining. "He (Booty) is such an accurate passer," Huntington coach John Hazza said afterward. "But I think our guys played hard and about as well as they could play. I was also proud of our of fense.

Evangel (7-1. 3-0) won its seventh in a row after an opening loss to Longview (Texas) on the road. Huntington, winner of six straight to Campbell stail the season, has now lost its last two. The Raiders are 6-2 overall and 1-2 in the needs OT their first District 14A victory. Woodlawn quarterback Aaron Anderson rushed for 154 yards including a five-play, 80-yard drive that took 3:05 capped off by a 67-yard touchdown with 8:50 k'ft in the game to force an overtime decision with the Falcons.

"It feels good to get our first district win. My offensive line was a big factor in the game tonight" Anderson said The win was big for Woodlawn and head coach Mike Green. "Every win is important but ing for 92 yards on 18 carries. He was the game's leading rusher. "Defensively, Byrd did a great job of taking away things that we have had great success with." Causey said.

"Coach Suggs has done a great job with that team. "We really like to mix it up and strive for balance. Even though it wasn't raining, we considered it a wet-game field." Despite problems with the snaps and handoffs, Ouachita marched 59 yards in 12 plays to take the early lead in the game. Mott's 2-yard plunge put the Lions ahead 7-0 with 5:01 remaining in the first quarter. Byrd's best chance to score in the first half didnl come until its final drive.

On both possessions in the V5 district That's the best he (Booty) has played," Evangel coach Dennis Dunn said. "We executed well and we were patient on offense. Defensively, we've played well all year." Booty got plenty of help from junior wide receiver Connor Campbell, who had seven receptions for 134 yards and a touchdown. Campbell helped the Eagles' cause with excellent running after each catch. Evangel kept Huntington off balance with its running game.

Big Jacob Hester bulled his way for 81 yards on 12 carries while Jace By Pesky Hill Special To The Times John David Booty, shredding the Huntington defense with the precision of a surgeon, passed Louisiana's No. 1-ranked Evangel Eagk's to a 41-19 District 1-5A victory Friday night at Rodney Duron Field.

Woodlawn fullback Charles Edwards knocked the wind out of Northwood's defense, rushing for 90 yards on 13 carries. For the Falcons it was Jemon Casey distributing most of the dam second quarter, the Yellow Jackets had fantastic field position, starting at the Ouachita 40-yard line or better. After a poor punt by Ouachita, Byrd started its final drive of the half at the Lions 35, Taking 12 plays, and converting a fourth-and-one along the way, the Yellow Jackets worked their way to the 5-yard Une. Facing another fourth down, Suggs elected to go for the end zone, instead of attempting the field goal.

"We played good enough to win, but the mistakes killed us." With every running play outside of the hash marks virtually shut down, either team had to stick with the running game between the hash marks to gain yardage.
