Game Of The Week – Big Win To the End the Regular Season and 100th Career Victory for Head Coach
What a Friday night for high school football in Louisiana.
Stands were full, field was bright and players for both teams were giving it their all to win for their respective programs.
It was the Game Of The Week in the Baton Rouge area as the Denham Springs Yellow Jackets hosted the Walker Wildcats in a pivotal district game. It also was a pivotal game for both programs prior to the final rankings for the LHSAA Playoffs.
At the end of the night it was the Yellow Jackets who would prevail by a score of 21-13 and giving Head Coach Brett Beard his 100th Career Victory.
Catch of the night:
Denham Springs lead by 14 in the first half as the Walker Wildcats struggled offensively due to a pressure packed Yellow Jacket defense. The Yellow Jackets defense limited the Wildcats to less than 120 yards rushing all night.
Denham Springs would score first at the 5:01 mark of the first quarter when Andre Adams (2028) would find Jordan Hampton (2028) for a breakaway 51 yard touchdown reception.
Then junior wide receiver Jaylen Williams would scamper in for a 19-yard touchdown to make it 14-0 with 4:05 left in the first half.
Walker would finally find the endzone in the third quarter (4:35 mark) but could not convert on the 2 point conversion to move the score to 14-6
Jeremy Williams (Denham Springs), who played both sides of the ball all night, would barrel into the endzone from 2-yards out with 11:29 left in the game to put Denham Springs up 21-6.
Walker found some momentum late in the fourth quarter with a touchdown at the 3:19 mark. The Wildcats then would recover the ensuing onside kick to set themselves up at midfield with a chance to tie the score.
The Yellow Jacket defense led by Senior LB/ATH Jeremy Williams had other plans as Williams would record a sack and a pass breakup on 4th down to secure the win.
