Eagles fail to soar on Reservation By: Robert Barrilleaux, Jr. As the sun went down and the lights turned up, the HLB Braves Football team came ready to play. The Braves, who out powered the 2A St. John team from start to finish, truly looked like a well prepared team. Scoring started as Braves QB, Evan Ingram, found Christian Williams for a 40 yd touchdown reception, then continued after a sack on fourth down the Braves marched down field in two plays for their second score. Then with 2 minutes left in the 2nd Quarter, Christian Williams helped HL go up 21-0, when he ran in his second touchdown of the night. However, St. John did not back down as they answered with a 70-yard touchdown pass. Only to see the braves come back and finish a drive with Jeremy Legarde take it in from 2 yards out, to make the score at the half 27-7. As the second half began it proved to be much of the same, as Caleb Williams started the scoring frenzy again with a 9 yard touch down run. St. John would score one more time with 7:52 left in the third. But a fumble returned for a touchdown and a punt return by sophomore Stanly Lions led to the final score of 48-15. In the end the speed and power of this Braves team proved too much for the Eagles. “This team was a very talented team and I’m very happy with our performance,” said the Braves WR, DB, and K Kerry Guidry. He also added that he thinks that this Braves team with the strong leadership coming from their many seniors has them prepared to make a strong run at the district crown in 2007. With play like this one can easily see the Braves in the race come November.
