JONESVILLE, La. &045; A.J. Sharp didn’t have many rushing yards Friday night, but he did score four touchdowns for Class 1A’s eighth-ranked team, including three combined rushing scores in the second and third quarters, while the defense not only got the shutout against the visiting Bears (0-9, 0-3) in this District 4-1A mismatch, but also got a touchdown of its own.

Sharp scored on a 25-yard touchdown pass from Matt Johnson in the first quarter, then scored on runs of 13 and 5 yards in the second quarter and 5 yards again in the third quarter.

Michael Griffin added a pair of touchdown runs and Johnny Lee, who ran for 100 yards, scored on a 43-yard touchdown run as well as the host Bears (7-2, 3-0) opened up a 28-0 lead at the end of one quarter and eventually led 55-0 at the end of the third quarter on Zach Harvey’s 90-yard interception return for a score as the third quarter came to an end.

McCall 42, Ferriday 14

TALLULAH, La. &045; The Trojans’ playoffs hopes took a big hit as the Dragons had their way in a key District 4-2A matchup Friday night.

Both McCall (5-3 overall) and Ferriday (3-6 overall) are now 1-1 in district play, but the Trojans need a way at home against Concordia Parish rival and district leader Vidalia to have any chance of getting to the playoffs.
