The Winnfield Tigers stopped a three game losing skid Friday night with an 11-6 victory over Holy Savior Menard High School of Alexandria at Stokes Walker Stadium.
The Tigers, now 4-3 on the year, had over 300 yards of offense on the night they celebrated Homecoming.
Led by senior running back Dyllan Lawson and junior Malachi Jackson, the duo rushed for 233 of the 293 yards gained on the ground. Ironically, neither of the leading rushers found the endzone for the Tigers.
Finding themselves down 6-0, after Menard scored on a 35-yard TD pass, the Tigers’ defense shut down Menard for the rest of the game.
Winnfield had a touchdown run from one yard out by senior running back Travon Nichols. That knotted the score at 6-6 after the PAT failed.
The Tiger defense got a safety against Menard and two points courtesy of a tackle in the endzone by junior Alex Adams.
