LHS 20, Iota 6
LIVONIA - The Iota Bulldogs were holding on to a glimmer of playoff hope with two wins and three games left, while the Livonia Wildcats sat with only one win and looked to remove itself from a four game losing streak on homecoming night.
A big second quarter for the Wildcats led to Livonia moving to 2-6 on the year with a 20-6 victory. Iota lost their fourth game in a row, moving to 2-6 as well.
Iota’s offense appeared to be on the verge of scoring a touchdown on their first possession, but a fumble and a big play led to a quick score by Livonia and once again, the Bulldogs found themselves trying to play catch up.
Iota would answer and pull within one point on an 8-yard run by Bryant Fantroy before Livonia scored 13 unanswered points.
Brentan LaCour would finish the night with 24 carries for 149 yards, including a 45 yard rush, a touchdown, interception and four yards on a reception.
Mason Torres, meanwhile, finished the night with 12 completions out of 19 attempts and 138 yards, an interception and two touchdowns. Torres had three of his passes go for 19, 19 and 20 yards respectively.
Iota had their chances throughout the game, particularly in the second half. The Bulldogs’ defense kept Livonia off the scoreboard, but a lengthy third quarter drive by the Wildcats and mistakes by Iota kept the Bulldogs off the scoreboard as well.
The Bulldogs were led offensively by Thomas Murrell who put up 110 total yards against Livonia. Murrell carried the ball 13 times for 67 yards and passed for 43 yards, completing three of his 13 passes and throwing an interception.
Close behind him rushing was again Kyle Leger with 50 yards on 15 carries.
Iota will host winless Pine Prairie (0-8, 0-5) for homecoming and the Bulldogs’ final home game of the season.
