The Ferriday High School Trojans will travel to Bastrop, La. to take on the winless Beekman Charter School Tigers with the LHSAA District 2-2A championship at stake at 7 p.m. Friday.

Ferriday (7-2, 4-1) overcame less-than-ideal weather and field conditions at Melz Field, as well as a lengthy lightning delay, to take care of Delhi Charter 54-12 at the Trojans’ homecoming game last week.

Trojan coach Stanley Smith said that freshmen running backs Da’minya Milligan and Byron Milligan, as well as a tenacious defense stood out to him in the win.

“They (Da’minya and Byron) ran the ball really well. Defensively, it was a collective effort. No one player really stood out,” he said.

Smith said, however, most pleasing was his team’s positive attitude.

“We played hard. We stayed focused, even though it was cold and wet,” he said. “That was the first time all season we’ve had to deal with those (conditions). We came out and played ball. We got a big district win.”

With the win, Ferriday remains No. 8 in the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Class 2A poll, while it also moved back to the No. 1 spot in this week’s LHSAA Class 2A power ratings.

Beekman Charter (0-8, 0-5) is coming off a tough 22-14 loss at General Trass. The eight-point loss was the closest the Tigers have had since its season opener

on Sept. 1 at LaSalle High School — a heartbreaking 7-6 setback.

Despite not having won a game this season, Smith said the Trojans cannot take the Tigers lightly or for granted.

“They’re a scrappy bunch. They play to the end of the whistle,” Smith said. “They play to the end of the game. Hopefully we’ll stay focused and come out with a ‘W’ on Friday.”

A win would give the Trojans the District 2-2A championship.

“It would be exciting for the kids. Something we would hang our hats on,” Smith said.
