West Monroe 40  Airline 0

West Monroe only led 6-0 at halftime, but exploded in the 2nd

half for 34 points. This year, the Rebels are slow getting started,

but when they do, they can score fast.

D.J. Banks was 8 for 11 passing for 121 yards and a td.

D.J also added 113 yards on the ground, but 79 net because

of the big losses on sacks. He did make up for it on 2 great 

runs for td's..

LaDarius Abrams had 10 carries for 50 yards and a td. 

The Rebels had 334 yards of offense, 14

first downs and were unstoppable once they got going.

The DeFense held Airline to 3 first downs, and 90 yards

of total offense. Special teams played a huge role with

Robert Lay taking the ball away from Airline when Airline

had the chance to score an take the lead. Tyler Cain continues

to produce with a 45 yard return for a td.

The reserves came in and sophomore qb, Paul Turner made a statement by

scoring on a long run and almost had another one.

Domcoriousn Powell then scored from 1 yard out.

The reserves scored 2 td's.

Way to go Rebs!

 

 

West Monroe 20  Ouachita 19

Wow! Can I say what a game! West Monroe was down

19-0 at the half and came from behind to win a great

game. Ouachita's kicker Matt Little missed a 31 yard

field goal with 8.3 seconds left to seal the win for

the Rebels.

I had LaDarius with 180 yards

D.J. Banks had over 100 yards passing tonight and showed alot of

charcter with his injury.

Tyler Cain had 3 TD's on the night! 

I just want to say that we should appreciate our coaching staff

for whatever they done at halftime.

The DeFense completely shut down Ouachita the 2nd half.

This game reminded me of the old 2-5A and I hope this means that

all of the teams in our district has gained some ground.

 

 

West Monroe 17 Byrd 7

The Rebels improve to 2-0 in District 1-5A and 3-0 on the season.

 Great call of the game was the halfback pass by LaDaius Abrams to

Joel Barfield for 48 yards

This game was a defensive battle until the Rebels opened it up

in the 2nd half.

 The game was 0-0 at the half and the key

drive as always was the start of the 2nd half.

The Rebels held Byrd on the initial drive the 2nd half and

then when the Rebels had their chance, they took advantage.

The Rebels were faced with a 4th down play when D.J. Banks

connected with Josh Remedies inside the 5 yard line. Then

after an offsides penalty by Byrd, D.J. carried in in from the

2 yard line for the first score.

The Rebels held Byrd again and D.J. came alive again connecting

with Josh Remedies again for a 56 yard td.

 

This reminded me of the old 2-5A District. We were always in

a battle until the last minute in most of those games.

I love this type of game, it prepares you for a war and

during the regular season the last 2 years, we have not had this

type of test.

The Rebels had a 108 yards on the ground and 233 through

the air. D.J was 9 for 16, a td an 185 yards passing.

The DeFense held Byrd to 10 first downs 82 yards net rushing, and 89

in the air.

LaDarius had 15 carries for 78 yards before leaving with a injury.

The Rebels had 341 yards of total offense. The Rebels averaged 7.0 yards

per play on offense. Josh Remedies had 4 receptions for 144 yards and a td

and average 36.0 yards per reception.
