The La Porte Bulldogs came out firing last Friday en-route to a 55-21 victory over the South Houston Trojans.
This game was never in doubt as the Bulldogs scored early and often. Senior Cornerback Malik Graves started things off with an interception on the first play of the game. A few plays later Sophomore Running Back Britt Grant finished off the drive with a seven yard touchdown run around the right side.
La Porte would continue their early dominance with some good defense, forcing punts. Junior Quarterback Jordan Jackson (120 yards 3 touchdowns) would start the Bulldogs aerial assault with two nice touchdown passes, the first to Junior Tight End Michael Rodriguez, a 17 yard strike. Then Jackson would find Senior Wide Receiver Jahvey Marks in stride for a 59 yard touchdown. The ball traveled about 50 yards in the air and hit Marks perfectly. La Porte was up 21-0 just like that with 6:36 remaining in the 1st quarter.
South Houston would then get on the board with their only score against the first team La Porte defense. Trojan Junior Quarterback James Davis (316 yards passing, 3 touchdowns) played very well on the night and got South Houston on the board with a five yard pass to Junior Wide Receiver Elton Dyer. South Houston is a very young squad and should improve as the season progresses.
Still in the first quarter, Jackson was not done and found Junior Running Back Jonathan Lewis for the 17 yard pass down the seam for another Bulldog score. At the end of the first quarter it was La Porte 28 South Houston 7.
Lewis (174 rushing yards, 4 touchdowns) took over the game at this point as he would score the next three touchdowns on runs of 17, 3 and 75 yards. La Porte was up 48-7 with 4:58 left in the 3rd quarter. The Bulldogs emptied the bench with everyone getting in the game.
South Houston's Senior Wide Receiver Torre Daniel (10 catches, 197 yards) made the most of it in the 4th quarter with two touchdowns one a 80 yard catch and run and another from 8 yards out.
La Porte was grinding out the clock, but got loose one more time with Junior Vic Holmes (7 carries, 108 yards) taking the pitch to the right and sprinting 78 yards to pay dirt.
The Bulldogs racked up almost 600 yards of offense with 450 yards on the ground. This week 2-0 La Porte will be facing 0-2 Clear Springs, who will be visiting Bulldog Stadium for the first time in school history.
Was a good game. They looked much better this week. And I'm confident they will gel even better as the season progresses
