Big-time players make big-time plays, in big-time moments. St. James had a couple of players 
that stepped up during the 4th quarter. Wildcats big play guy Shazz Preston, who is the No. 1 receiver in the state for 2022 according to 247Sports came through with some big third down catches. Senior receiver Jonathan Wilson was another player that shined when his moment was called. With Lutcher hanging on to a 14-10 lead late in the 4th 
quarter, Wilson caught a toe drag touchdown pass from Marquell Bergeron to put the Wildcats up 17-14 with 1:58 left. “I did this all for my grandpa. He raised me since I was young. I wanted to make him proud and I know I did tonight. As the season goes on, I will continue to make him proud,” said Wilson. 

Another wildcat that came up big in the late game stretch was Senior defensive end and *LSU commit* Savion Jones who applied constant pressure on the quarterback all night long, but particularly on the Lutcher's final drive. On back to back plays Jones drove his way in the Bulldogs backfield to stop a pair of Bulldogs for no gain. Jones also recorded an interception on the night. “On the last drive, the community and my team depended on me. I had to put the team on my back and make plays,” said Jones.

Lutcher drove to the St. James 21-yard line with 7 seconds left. Noah Detillier, who is also the kicker, entered the game to attempt to send the game into overtime. Wildcats head coach Robert Valdez called all three timeouts in an attempt to ice Detillier. Valdez plan worked in the end because Detillier kick would go wide left, sending the Wildcats sideline into a wild celebration. 

The Wildcats had two touchdowns runs by Kaden Williams that were called back because of a holding penalty early in the first quarter. The Wildcats came away with no points after a missed field goal kick by Alec Mahler. On the Wildcats next drive, another touchdown run by Williams was called back because of a penalty. Mahler would kick a field goal to make the score 3-0, but they would score their first touchdown of the game with a three-yard run by senior linebacker Kaleb Brown to take a 10-0 lead.

Lutcher got on the board before halftime with a 37-yard run by Ra’saun Storks to cut the deficit 10-7. Storks was an absolute monster on the ground leading all rushers with 145 yards on 21 carries.

Even though Lutcher didn’t win the game, their future looks bright and they look to make noise in 3A this year. “We executed on offense and defense in the crunch & I’m proud of my family," Lutcher quarterback D'Wanye Winfield said. "I believe that me and my brothers will bounce back from this loss & win the state championship this year." 

​Lutcher falls to 2-2 & looks to rebound from this emotional loss next week against Berwick. St. 
James improves to 3-1  & will square off in another rivalry game when they take on Tigers of Donaldsonville at Nicholls St University.

YWhen you think about the successful head football coaches in the state of Louisiana, Brice Brown is the first name that comes to mind. 

​The 34-year old coach has won four state championships in the row & it surely looks like he’s on his way to five with how his team has been playing thus far. If that happens they will be only the second school in the history of Louisiana High School football to do so. John Curtis is the lone school in the state to win five state championships in a row. 

Coach Brown did a zoom interview with G-Sportz discussing keys to building a successful program, his aspirations before he calls it quits, & much more.

In the history of high school football, there has only been two public schools that have beaten John Curtis. O.P Walker & Edna Karr, but the Cougars are lone public school to do it twice. 

​What’s even more impressive is that Cougars head coach Brice Brown & many of his assistant coaches has beaten the Patriots as a player & as coaches. This was also the first time the Patriots have lost back to back games in the same season since the 1970s. 

That second time the Cougars would beat the Patriots came on Saturday night winning in dramatic fashion 36-33. The Patriots got off to a good start after a 63 yard touchdown run by Buddy Taylor on the first possession of the game to go up 7-0.

But of course the quick strike offense of the Cougars would respond with a 23 touchdown pass from A.J Samuel to Destyn Hill to tie it at 7. 
The Patriots would go into the half with all the momentum after scoring runs from Buddy Taylor & Trey LeBranch to lead the Cougars 26-14 at the break. 
In the fourth quarter Samuel scored on a 6 yard run on 4th and goal to make it 26-21 after going scoreless in the third quarter. 

The Patriots marched right back down the field & would score on a 18 yard touchdown run by Ronald Poole to give them a 33-29 lead with less than two minutes left in the game.

After a big kickoff return by Aaron Anderson to get his team all the way down to the Patriots 34 yard line, A.J Samuel would hook up with Destyn Hill once again for the winning touchdown. 
“We knew it was going to be a dog fight against them especially after coming off of a loss,” head coach Brice Brown said. “Games like this build character in your kids & I like how they responded tonight.”

In “ The Battle of the Wildcats”, it was the Wildcats of Destrehan that came out on top. It was a 
night where offensive yards were hard to come by. This game showcases two of the state's 
most dominant defenses. This was ultimately decided by a key special teams play. St. James 
first got on the board with a safety, after an errant snap sail of Destrehan Quarterback Jai 
Eugene, heading,to make the score 2-0. The score would hold until a 10-yard pass from 
Eugene, to Receiver Daniel Blood ,to make the score 7-2 at halftime. 

The defensive slugfest continued into the second quarter. The St. James Wildcats were
leading a promising drive, until they stalled out in the red zone , leading to a block field goal 
attempt. Tyler Morton, made the play of the game , taking a punt return 70 yards to make the 
score 14-2. Morton stated, “I knew I had a big return coming up. I saw the hole had great blocks 
and took it to the house”.

The following drive, Destrehan star linebacker Dylan Gibbs forced a St. 
James turnover. This led to a Shane Lee score, to cap out the final score of 21-2. 

Both offenses failed to achieve more than 175 of total offense. 
Destrehan Jai Eugene , accounted for most of the Wildcats yardage, after starting running back 
Razan Keller went down with an injury.

“Anything to win, if putting the offense on my shoulder 
every game is what it takes, I’ll do so. We didn’t start too good, then we had 3 starters go down 
from cramps, so it was my job to keep those guys focused”, said Eugene. 

 Both teams face another tough test next week. St. James welcomes the Assumption Mustangs, while Destrehan faces another “ battle of wildcats” when they travel to the wildcats of East St. John.

St. James underrated linebacker Kaleb Brown stated, “ We have another big test this week ; we have to rebound quickly. We have to work on staying focused, staying the course. On defense we have to tackle better & on offense we have to block better."
