Quincy Adams Runs Wild as Terrebonne Stays Perfect, Beats St. James 28-8

Houma – The Terrebonne Tigers proved its early-season success is no fluke. Powered by a career night from senior running back Quincy Adams, the Tigers knocked off previously unbeaten St. James 28-8 on Friday, improving to 3-0 and handing the Wildcats their first loss of the year.

The opening quarter showcased two stout defenses. Terrebonne marched into the red zone on its first possession, only to be stopped on 4th down by the Wildcats. But the Tigers’ defense returned the favor, forcing a turnover on downs of their own and setting up the game’s first score. Two plays later, Adams broke through for a 12-yard touchdown to give Terrebonne a 7-0 lead with 4:13 left in the first quarter.

St. James answered in the second. Running back Kani King-Young powered in from 15 yards, and with a successful two-point conversion, the Wildcats briefly grabbed the lead at 8-7 with 4:54 left in the half.
Adams had the response ready. With less than a minute before halftime, he slipped through the defense for a 13-yard touchdown run, putting Terrebonne back on top 14-8 at the break.

The Tigers’ ground game wore St. James down in the second half. Adams scored his third touchdown of the night on an 8-yard run with 10:46 left in the fourth, and junior back Sahj Ruffin capped the night with a 7-yard score five minutes later to make it 28-8. Defensive back Chase Stewart sealed the victory with an interception late in the fourth.

Adams was the undeniable story of the night, piling up 296 rushing yards and three touchdowns on just 21 carries. His blend of power and explosiveness kept the Wildcats’ defense off balance all evening.

Adding to the intensity was the emotional backdrop: Terrebonne head coach Tyler Lewis spent multiple seasons as a defensive backs coach at St. James before taking over the Tigers’ program.
“This one meant a lot,” Lewis said afterward. “I have to do a better job of keeping my emotions in check. I’ve got nothing but respect for St. James, but our kids showed heart and toughness tonight. Quincy set the tone, and the defense came up big when we needed it.”

With the win, Terrebonne improves to 3-0, while St. James falls to 2-1.
