MONTGOMERY, La. — For the first time since the 2005 season, the Block Bears got a win Friday night.

The Bears held off a fourth-quarter rally by Montgomery to defeat the Tigers 26-18 in the District 3-1A opener for both teams.

Four different players scored for Block (1-5, 1-0). The two biggest plays of the game were Ladarrius Collins’ 65-yard interception return for a touchdown with under a minute to play in the first half and Preston Bowman’s 3-yard touchdown run midway through the third quarter. Evan White threw to Tre’ Vault for the two-point conversion that gave the Bears 26-6 lead.

Montgomery (1-4, 0-1) tried to come back in the fourth quarter. Loyd Willis scored on a 45-yard run with 5:54 to go and Ethan Guin scored on a 14-yard run with 56 seconds left. But it was not enough

Tylertown 49, Wilkinson County 8

WOODVILLE — So much for that letdown that Wilkinson County head coach John Moore was hoping for. The Tylertown Chiefs, ranked No. 1 in Class 3A in one statewide poll and No. 2 in another, ruined the Wildcats’ homecoming game with a big win Friday night.

Wilkinson County (1-5, 0-2) didn’t score until the 5:45 mark of the fourth quarter on a 60-yard touchdown pass from Delvin Fosselman to Quantarious Lee. Fosselman added the two-point conversion. Tylertown (6-0, 2-0) scored in all four quarters.
