The La Porte Bulldogs remained undefeated in district play and one step closer to a playoff spot with a 34-7 dominating victory over the Beaumont West Brook Bruins last Friday. West Brook came into the game with a 3-1 record and their only loss to state-ranked Houston Lamar in a close game.
However, this night was all about the Bulldogs as it was Homecoming. Zipporah Jno-Finn was honored with being the Queen while Renzo Jimenez was named king.
Onto the football action as La Porte started fast and furious. Junior Receiver David Terrebonne took the opening kickoff inside the West Brook 40 yard line. Four plays later Senior Victor Holmes took the sweep around the left side untouched for a 24 yard touchdown run. It was 7-0 Bulldogs with 10:35 left in the 1st quarter.
Beaumont West Brook's standout Senior Running Back Justin Hervey picked up an injury on the teams first drive and only played a couple plays in the second half, hampering the Bruins offense.
Later in the first quarter La Porte would go on a 10-play 72 yard march down the field. Senior Hoza Scott would cap off the drive with a untouched 15 yard run around the right side. It seemed like he almost walked in the end zone on the play. La Porte lead 13-0 with 32 seconds left in the 1st quarter.
West Brook would get on the board on their next possession as Junior Quarterback Isaac Aubrey found Sophomore receiver Keith Corbin for a 49 yard touchdown pass on a slant route. La Porte lead 13-7 with 10:48 left in the second quarter.
The Bruins were gaining momentum and came up with a stop on defense. They began moving the ball again on offense when Senior Linebacker Jesse Hickman layed a big hit on the quarterback popping the ball loose and Senior Defensive End Lane Albertson was there to scoop the ball up and return it 56 yards for a touchdown. La Porte lead 20-7 going into the halftime festivities.
La Porte's defense would clamp down on the Bruins in the second half and put the game away on the back of a Senior Fullback Trevor Nelson one yard run and a Junior Running Back Britt Grant six yard run. The final was a 34-7 La Porte victory.
That young Bulldog offensive line had two starters out, but still performed exceptionally paving the way for 245 rushing yards and 4 tds on the ground. Grant lead the running backs with 131 yards on 9 carries.
This week La Porte has a bye and we are getting set for the big matchup with Deer Park on October 18th. A win in that game will virtually guarantee the Bulldogs a playoff spot.
