Goldpine — Kassie and Ben Wilson — at the Lobby Lounge in the Harbor Center.
TOUCH OF NASHVILLE Touring artists Goldpine, a duo from Nashville and a Rocky Mountain Songwriter Contest winner, brought their distinct Americana music and stage charisma to the Lobby Lounge on Aug. 27 to perform the venue’s “Up Close and Musical” concert of the month. Kassie and Benjamin Wilson, who are both life partners and music mates, performed some numbers from their recently released third, full length album, aptly titled “3.” Americanamusic.org, which covers the Americana music scene nationwide and reviews its rising performers, has called Goldpine “a powerhouse Nashville duo” and recently wrote “Kassie’s powerful and lavish vocals that ... grab your attention and tell it like it is.” Lobby Lounge is the intimate, bohemian-styled listening room tucked into The Harbor Center near Slidell that draws touring artists from around the country for its monthly concerts.
Touring singer-songwriters Goldpine, Kassie and Ben Wilson of Nashville, fit right in to the intimate, eclectic space of the Harbor Center’s Lobby Lounge.

Contributing writer On Sept.10, 1779, Lake Pontchartrain was the site of one of the least known battles of the American Revolution. A British sloop and a Continental Navy schooner met in a fierce fight for control of the waterways surrounding New Orleans. And now, almost 21/ 2 centuries later, a wreath-laying ceremony commemorating the day’s events will be held at the battle’s memorial marker on the Mandeville lakefront this Sept. 10. While most of the action of the American Revolution took place along the east coast of the newly emerging

St. Tammany Parish has launched a public education campaign to persuade residents to approve a sales tax increase to alleviate a funding crisis in the parish’s criminal justice system. The campaign, called “Keep St. Tammany Safe,” consists of community meetings, explanatory videos, employee interviews and other digital resources. It comes after voters have rejected previous tax increases six times. The current proposal would increase the parish’s sales tax by a quarter-cent for five Sims years, which the parish estimates will cost the average resident $5.60 per month. It will be on the ballot on Dec.12. At a community meeting in Lacombe on Aug, 17, officials framed the tax as essential in preserving quality of life on the north shore. “Public safety is our identity,” said Parish Council member Joe Impastato, who represents Lacombe. The tax would offset funding cuts to the district attorney’s office, the court system, the parish’s DNA lab and the parish jail, according to the parish, and is estimated to generate over $18 million. Annie Perkins, parish director of finance, told the roughly 60 meeting attendees that the funding shortfall is a result of St. Tammany’s dedicated tax system, which restricts tax dollars to specific departments. Perkins said this means the parish can’t simply shift more funds to the criminal justice system. Perkins said that the parish had previously used one-time funds from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and COVID relief to plug the hole, but that money is gone. St. Tammany Parish District Attorney Collin Sims said that more funding cuts would have a devastating effect on his agency, which he said charged 3,150 defendants with felonies in 2025. “Not to be scary, but I need you to appreciate the scope of what is handled,” he said

FALL
Continued from page 1A can’t-miss events happening on the northshore this fall season. And if you stick around to the end, we’ll make sure to list the best of the rest. St. Tammany Parish Fair, Oct. 1-5, various times For more than a century, the St. Tammany Parish Fair has kicked off autumn. It’s a deep-seated tradition on the north shore, and this year, the fair is back with the same thrills, competitions, entertainment and sense of community that it has offered for generations. The fair formally begins Oct. 1 as midway rides open up from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., alongside the mini farm. Oct. 2 is Gospel Night from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., in addition to midway rides and the opening of the fair’s many exhibits. Oct. 3, the fair runs almost all day with rides from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., a parade at 10 a.m. down Jefferson Avenue, live music and a cheer competition throughout the day, and rodeo in the evening from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. The fair continues Oct. 4 with cattle shows, rides, mainstage entertainment and a second night of rodeo from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. And finally on Oct. 5, the fair concludes with rides open one last time 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Cost for entry varies, depending on the day. Weekend entry is $5, and to see the rodeo requires a separate ticket; $20 for adults and $5 for kids under 12. Midway rides are $1 on Oct. 1, but then vary in price from $27 to $32 for an unlimited wristband. To see a full list of events, prices and times visit sttammanyparishfair.info. Abita Fall Fest, Oct. 2 Mark calendars for Abita Fall Fest because event organizers have insinuated that the future of the festival is unknown. This year, however, the same live music, art, food and, of course, Abita beer will highlight a night of community in Abita Springs. The event, organized by the Abita Brew Pub, runs from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Abita Springs Trailhead; admission is $25 for adults, children under 10 are free. The mainstage music lineup includes Electric Ramble, Honey Island Swamp Band, Flow Tribe, Bonerama and Dumpstafunk. A songwriters stage will feature performances from Laine Bleu, John West, Paul Faith, Beach Bums and Todd Lemoine. For tickets or more information, visit abitafallfest.com. Olde Towne Pumpkin Festival Oct. 3 Grab the kiddies and load up the wagon because the Olde Towne Pumpkin Festival is made for a day of family fun. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the First United Methodist Church grounds in Slidell will transform into an autumn oasis. The annual event is free to attend and features live entertainment, food, a youth entrepreneur market, face painting, inflatables, “pumpkin chunkin” — as fun as it sounds — games, robotics demos and pony rides. The various entertainment stations do require tickets; but get them on site. This is a cashless event with proceeds benefiting the Rainbow Childcare Center of East St. Tammany and United Way.

Slidell City Council sets date for vote on hospital parking lot BY JIM DERRY Staff writer
After months of working on a compromise between Slidell Memorial Hospital and several residents who live in the vicinity, plans were preliminarily approved by the Slidell City Council to replace a fitness park with an area designated for more parking. The initial go-ahead was given at the Aug. 25 meeting, and a final vote on the proposed parking lot — an area at 11th Street and Florida Avenue to Broadmoor Street — is expected to come after a public hearing at the council’s next meeting on Sept. 8. Initial plans by the hospital were first on the council’s April 28 meeting agenda, but backlash from the community — including several nearby residents who spoke publicly — sparked a request of postponement by Councilwoman Megan Haggerty, who represents the district. Similar objections were raised at a June 9 meeting, and Haggerty again asked for a delay so that residents and officials of the hospital could air their differences, which they did in a July town hall. And while neither side is completely satisfied, it seemed like a compromise was reached. “It was a process – it’s a historical neighborhood, and it means a lot to residents. I happen to live in that neighborhood, myself,” Haggerty said. “When the hospital wanted to move the fitness park, obviously fears of them encroaching into the neighborhood became a real thing, which fueled a lot of frustrations and aggravations, and rightfully so. “They’re worried about property values, and they came out and expressed
themselves.” In the first meeting in April, the hospital’s chief operating officer, Jason Wilson, said while “parking is paramount,” it was imperative for he and his staff to continue being “good stewards and good neighbors.” From there, the work began on trying to find a compromise. The primary concerns of many residents wasn’t that the fitness park was going away, but rather what type of parking was going to be placed there. Concerns of a potential multi-floor garage were alleviated, as Haggerty ensured them zoning would not even allow such a structure to be built. Also, some had preferred doctor and other employee parking to be placed there but later relented due to the proximity of the ER to the proposed lot. “When the emergency room doctor and head of the department talked about how we would want the sick and elderly and those who need the most care not having to walk farther … for me, that was when the light switch flipped,” said a former councilman who lives in the Brugier neighborhood, Buddy Lloyd, at a meeting on Aug. 11. “This is a win for the community, it’s a win for the hospital, and it’s a win for the residents.” Pending approval, the parking lot will have 120 spaces, and a 30-foot buffer will be created between the lot and any homes. Doctors and staff will continue to use a lot on 14th Street, which is next to where a walking trail and greenspace will be built. Jim Derry covers St. Tammany Parish.

Mandeville employees get cost of living raise BY KIM CHATELAIN Contributing writer
The Mandeville City Council has approved what members called a structurally balanced budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year that includes a 2.8% cost of living pay increase for police officers and city employees. The council’s vote on the spending plan Aug. 27 followed a series of public hearings during which the city’s projected revenues and expenditures were aired out in public The budget that Mayor Clay Madden’s administration presented to the council earlier this summer projected recurring general fund revenues of $23.82 million and recurring operating expenses for the same period were projected to be $23.62 million. In that original form, the operating budget included a cost-of-living pay increase of 1% for police and city employees. A significant part of Thursday’s meeting was devoted to an amendment to increase the raises to 2.8%. Several Mandeville police officers addressed the council during a public hearing before the vote, urging members to go with the higher raises. A proposal by Council member Jill Lane to amend the budget to allocate roughly $200,000 to cover the cost of the bolstered raises was approved despite words of caution from member Kevin Vogeltanz. “I’m concerned that our recurring revenue cannot mathematically, over time, match our recurring expenses…if we continually grant nondiscretionary COLA (cost-of-living-adjustments),” he said. “The math will eat us alive.” The council trimmed approximately $129,000 from other line items in the budget to help offset the cost of the raises.
The council also amended the budget to give the mayor a higher pay raise than was recommended by Madden and his administration. Their proposed budget included only a 1% raise in the mayor’s pay, but the council decided to amend the budget to approve a 4% raise for him. That will bring Madden’s annual salary to $129,333. Councilman Jason Zuckerman pointed out that the budget forecasts a general fund balance of around $13.5 million by the end of the upcoming fiscal year. That projection exceeds targets established by recently enacted city legislation. The Madden administration had taken heat from critics over the city being delinquent with its financial audit filings, which are required by the Louisiana Legislative Auditor. Officials have attributed the delays to efforts being made to correct financial reporting records from years ago. Local governments must submit their annual audits to the LLA no later than six months after the close of their fiscal year. If they fail to do so, LLA places them on the audit non-compliance list. Madden told the council that Mandeville’s most recent audit was completed and turned over to the LLA on Aug. 27 and that Mandeville will likely be removed from the list within days. Councilman Scott Discon cast the lone vote against the operating budget, saying while he supports the COLA increases he remains bothered by the audit problem. “I’m having a little bit of an issue with that,” he said. The approval of the city operating and capital budgets came under separate ordinances. With little discussion, the council unanimously approved a capital budget ordinance of approximately $27 million.

BATTLE
Continued from page 1A
United States, the fight had spread along the Atlantic seaboard, through the Gulf of Mexico and into the waters along the northshore. For months in 1779, a British Royal Navy sloop, the HMS West Florida, had patrolled the waterways from Lake Borgne through Lake Pontchartrain to the Manchac Swamp and the Amite River. The northshore of Lake Pontchartrain was controlled by the British and the southshore by Spain, according to Leonard Rohrbough, a member of the Sons of the American Revolution’s Pierre Georges Rousseau chapter. “The Spanish colonial governor of Louisiana, Bernardo de Galvez, was clandestinely supporting the Americans with things like small cannon, muskets and lead prior to Spain entering the war, and the British wanted

it stopped,” Rohrbough said. “The Continental forces sent Capt.William Pickles to New Orleans to secure a ship and crew. With Galvez’s help, he was able to obtain a privateer schooner that became the Morris in the Continental Navy,” Rohrbough said. On the day of the battle, the HMS West Florida came alongside a smaller schoo-
ner bearing a British flag to investigate. At the last moment, the Union Jack on the schooner was lowered and was replaced by an American flag. An American raiding party led by Lt. Pierre Georges Rousseau boarded the British ship and successfully overcame the enemy. Both crews sustained causalities, including the British ship’s commander, Lt. John Payne. “The success of Pickles and Rousseau and their men made it possible for the Americans to eliminate the British blockade of New Orleans. That success aided the forces led by Galvez to eventually capture the British forts in Baton Rouge and Natchitoches,” Rohrbough said. This event also made it possible for the northshore to expand its trade connections to Spain and France, according to Rohrbough. “For the most part, the people living on the Northshore were just trying to survive. Prior to the battle,
the British did not allow them to sell their products to the New Orleans area. The residents here just wanted to make a living by chopping down some trees, hunting a few deer for food and to be left in peace. With the British controlling Lake Pontchartrain, there was a black market for goods like lumber and pitch tar. Once the blockade was broken, they could now openly take their products to New Orleans to sell,” he said. “The economic boost for the northshore was extensive.” Later, the area from the Mississippi River to the Apalachicola River, formerly known as British West Florida, became known as the symbolic “14th Colony” of the new United States of America during the Revolutionary War period. The wreath-laying ceremony is sponsored by the city of Mandeville, the Sons of the American Revolution and the Granaderos y Damas de Galvez. It is free and open to the public.
CAMPAIGN
Continued from page 1A Sims said that if his budget is cut, prosecutions would slow down, pretrial detainees could be released, and he would likely lose many of his most experienced lawyers. Likewise, Judge Vincent Lobello said that if the court system lost funding, it would cause critical administrative staff members to leave, slowing down the docket. Rounding out the speakers was St. Tammany Parish Interim Sheriff Bret Ibert, who said the sales tax would help fund repairs in the jail that has been plagued with plumbing, electrical and other maintenance issues. Attendees at the meeting were supportive of the tax increase, including three of the candidates for St. Tammany Parish Sheriff who were present. Ducre Raymond, a life-
long Lacombe resident, said she was happy with the decision to use a sales tax to fill the funding gap. “Sales tax is the fairest across the board,” Raymond said. She liked hearing that roughly 20% of the sales tax — according to the parish — would be paid by residents from outside St. Tammany Parish. Rosa Jacks, who recently moved to Lacombe, agreed. Jacks said that she was supportive of the tax increase, especially since her husband is in law enforcement. Jacks said keeping St. Tammany safe was a priority for her and that she has been impressed by the community involvement and “open hearts” she has found in her new home. The parish plans to continue holding informational sessions about the proposal in the coming weeks. Those details, as well as additional information about the plan, are available at https:// sttammany.gov/keepsttammmanysafe.

He served for 24 years as a leader in St. Tammany Parish government, including three Davis terms as parish president. “I’d like to officially welcome Kevin Davis to our board. He has such an important voice, not just as past parish president but in the business community also,” said St. Tammany Parish Tourist and Convention Commission President and CEO Donna O’Daniels. “He also brings continuity to the board position with his role on the board of the Harbor Center.” Davis replaced Tourist Commissioner veteran Mark Myers, who also serves on the Harbor Center Board. He retired in June after 15 years with the commission. During the meeting, O’Daniels reported that the Tourism Master Plan is 90% complete and will be available for commissioners to review in October. The 10-year master plan outlines recommendations for the future direction of St. Tammany tourism. O’Daniels said the role of Visit the Northshore and the Tourist Commission, once the plan is approved, will be to “lead the charge” in bringing the master plan’s vision to life. The organization’s nearly $5 million fund balance will be used to invest in both research for long-term projects and short-term projects for immediate impact, such as art installations, improved wayfinding along the Tammany Trace, and additional avenues for accessible tourism throughout the parish. Commissioner Sharon Hewitt and master plan steering committee member said she is excited to work on new ways to enhance St. Tammany through projects that fit the master plan’s threepronged criteria. “We will be the ones keeping this document as a living, breathing entity and looking at projects and asking ‘Does it attract visitors; is it good for quality of life; and is it good for the business community?’ It’s an exciting time for us,” she said. O’Daniels also reported that the Fontainebleau Holiday Lights project remains delayed while the Office of State Parks awaits approval from the state Division of Administration to open bidding for the project. With the final quarter of the year approaching, O’Daniels said it is unlikely that the project will receive approval in time for the 2026 holiday season but that the plans might possibly take shape for 2027. She also told those gathered that Visit the Northshore Vice President of Sales and Services Tanya Leader is recovering after a successful bone marrow transplant and may even return to the office part time before year’s end. “Of course, we want her focus to be on her recovery and her health,” she said. The group will next meet Oct. 27 at 2 p.m. at the Visit the Northshore office on La. 59 near Mandeville.

Hope House and supporters welcome Brooke’s Place BY MARGARET ALBERT Contributing writer
Celebration was on the agenda in Covington when the Children’s Advocacy Center at Hope House welcomed Brooke’s Place at the Oscar J. Tolmas Charitable Trust Campus in late August. The new facility, located next door to Hope House’s existing headquarters, will substantially increase the organization’s capacity to serve victims of child abuse and their families from St. Tammany and Washington parishes. Brooke’s Place will provide a more private, comfortable and child-centered environment, while simultaneously allowing complex forensic interviews involving multiple agencies; accommodate more therapy sessions in the original Hope House space; and reduce the amount of time families wait to receive critical services. The expansion will also provide additional space for community education and the child abuse prevention training of adults, another important arm of the Hope House/Advocacy Center mission.

Brooke’s Place will greatly expand the work of the Children’s Advocacy Center at Hope House in Covington and will provide children undergoing forensic exams more privacy and comfort. Representing an investment of $800,000, celebrants said the almost 2,200-squarefoot project has been funded primarily by donors. The design is by MSH Architects and construction by CM Combs Construction LLC. “This past month of July alone, we conducted 60 forensic interviews, one of the highest numbers in the region. More than Baton Rouge and more than New Orleans, which is indicative of the immense need for the services we provide,” said Rebecca Henderson, the
president of Hope House. Last year, Hope House served 643 children and provided more than 3,000 free counseling sessions to children and their non-offending caregivers, and the numbers grow annually. “When a child finds the courage to speak about abuse, that child should not have to wait for a room to become available or sacrifice privacy because several agencies need the same space at once,” said Hope House Executive Director Thomas Mitchell. “Brooke’s

Place gives us room to respond more quickly and more thoughtfully, with simultaneous forensic interviews, additional therapy space and more opportunities to equip our community to recognize and prevent abuse.” Before handling the Aug. 20 ribbon-cutting honors, Marie Rudd-Gregory, mother of Brooke Posey, namesake of the new facility, labeled as “sacred” the work done there.
“Healing children who have been broken by trauma and abuse is truly the work of the Lord,” Rudd-Gregory said. When asked to describe Brooke’s connection to the work at Hope House and Brooke’s Place, Rudd-Gregory said “Big Love” — a descriptor of how her daughter related to family and friends. She especially loved children, her mother said. “Brooke can be seen in the Big Love of all the staff and
in the work that takes place at Hope House,” Rudd-Gregory said. The expansion campaign began in 2024 during The Children’s Advocacy Center at Hope House’s 30th year of serving children and families. It operates as an independent nonprofit organization and provides its service to children and their families free of charge. For more information, call (985) 892-3885.

now Habitat chapters can be found all around the world,” Gage said. The chapter’s volunteers started with making repairs to existing homes and then moved on to building new single-family ones. Volunteers have built 325 new homes since the chapter’s inception, with five more in progress. Gage has been with the chapter almost half its life, including 11 years as assistant director and more than 5 as its director. And she has seen it survive a lot. “Hurricane Katrina, the COVID epidemic and other hurricanes, like Ida, have changed the environment we all work in now. Challenges like the cost of construction
more than doubled in the past 20 years, according to Gage. “In our area in 2003, a family needed an annual income of $13,000 to qualify for our program. Now that number is $40,000. At that level, they are locked out of the traditional real estate market, but the need is still there,” Gage said. Over the years, she has seen the organization change from simply building homes to offering many different services to help people achieve the goal of living in a home of their own. “We created a homeownership counseling center to help prospective buyers learn what it takes financially to buy a home. In addition, we’ve helped more than 90

Returning to those roots, the St. Tammany West chapter offers a Critical Repair Program. “About 40% of our calls are asking for help with repairs that involve health or safety issues. These can include repairs for things like unsafe floors, leaking roofs and other problems. Many of these calls come from elderly citizens on limited incomes,” Gage said. The repairs are primarily grantfunded, but the chapter is always looking for support for this program. Looking back at the chapter’s inception, Gage noted

Our volunteers share their energy as they work on new homes, and we have access to resources from our national organization. I know we can meet the challenges ahead and remain committed to our mission,” Gage said.

ENTERTAINMENT St. Tammany has grown rich in musical resources BY SHEILA GRISSETT Staff writer
September ushers in a rich two months of music in St. Tammany Parish with some 40 live performances — most free or staged in publicly owned venues from Mandeville and Covington to Slidell and Abita Springs through the end of October. In addition to those primarily outdoor events, there are other concerts by an assortment of performers as diverse as multi Grammy-winning recording artists to a parishwide choir whose unpaid members fit in practice around regular work schedules. Also continuing throughout the fall are multiple free and open-to-all jam sessions hosted by the growing Northshore Traditional Music Society, along with the no-cost monthly songwriter circles under the Ozone Music Foundation umbrella. Both nonprofits host their sessions yearround and they keep adding more. A number of world class artists who perform in St. Tammany live here now, and along with the fine musicians who grew up locally (including homegirl Amanda Shaw), are helping further beef up the music scene. There’s simply an embarrassment of musical riches just waiting to be unearthed locally by those who look. A treasure of different musical genres are on offer throughout this fall in a wide variety of genres and venues. Dress up for the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra’s fall concert in Covington; jump into favorite jeans for a foot-stomping Opry or Cajun dance night in Abita Springs; grab a Hawaiian shirt and comfy shoes for the mostly jazz or blues in an Old Mandeville music hall; or throw on a tee shirt and flipflops for the free, weekly outdoor concerts that generally feature danceable, sing-along music — from rock’ n roll, Motown and golden oldies to zydeco, Cajun and bluegrass — in six venues. And all of that is in addition to the festivals, fairs, fundraisers and invitation-only events that always include live bands and aren’t being counted here.

Dolly was a major light force and a beacon of hope Social media is currently flooded with tributes to Dolly Parton, talented songwriter, singer/ performing artist, actress, and philanthropist. The president has ordered a week of flags flying at half-staff in her honor, and there is a campaign afoot to declare 9/25 as “Dolly Parton Day.” So, what was her universal appeal that spoke across politics, religion and morality? Her sparkle put diamonds to shame, and her blunt honesty was Margaret always delivered Albert with a dose of down-home humor. She epitomized Winston Churchill’s quote as “being able to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.” A good portion of the world is grieving this woman without knowing her personally, and many without even a passing interest in country music. Dolly’s fashion choices weren’t something most women would wear, but they were part of the package that included her winning smile. Whether it was her Imagination

After Covington’s lackluster jamboree performance against Salmen last week, coach Greg Salter said his squad “needed to do some soul searching.” The Cavaliers will test if the Lions found any answers. Pope John Paul II will finally take Joseph the field in pads after the Jaguars Halm had their scrimmage canceled by inclement weather Their jamboree was also canceled when their opponent pulled out late in the summer. The Jaguars get a Thomas Jefferson team that they should be able to handle, but PJP II enters Week 1 as an unknown entity. While there are only three games in the parish on Friday night, all three are battles between local teams, which is always a fun way to open the season. The traditional rivalry between Fontainebleau and Lakeshore will feature two teams separated by less than six miles coming off lackluster jamborees. Lakeshore failed to score against Pine, while Fontainebleau made plenty of costly mistakes against De La Salle. Both teams will look to run the ball, and both are welcoming first-time head coaches: Fontainebleau’s Chris Womack and Lakeshore’s Hunter Bonvillain. This one will be a close game and could be over in two hours. Hannan will look to build on its impressive 14-0 jamboree win over Country Day with a short trip to Northlake Christian. Last year’s game came down to a failed two-point conversion as the Hawks opened the season with a victory for the first time since 2018. I predict the Hawks will dominate this game as the Wolverines are in the midst of a rebuild. Then, there is Mandeville’s trip to Salmen. This game will test the scoreboard at Spartan Stadium. Salmen looked impressive in a 27-7 jamboree win over Covington. Senior RB Kordé Harris was electric, and the Spartans’ defense forced four turnovers. Mandeville put in a workmanlike performance in a 14-3 jamboree victory over a talented Franklinton team. The offense had its moments while the defense bent but didn’t break. And let’s be honest, Salmen looked like a team on Friday with a huge chip on its shoulder. The Spartans are back in Class 4A this season, but their pre-district schedule is littered with 5A teams. Plus, this rivalry has grown over the years. Two years ago, the Skippers ran away with a dominating 42-14 victory at a rain-soaked Spartan Stadium. Last year, Salmen actually led in the third quarter before the Skippers pulled away for a 38-25 win. Now, the Spartans want to take the next step and “get their lick back” as coach Eric Chuter has said several times this offseason. This game will be an offensive showdown, and the Spartans feel like “maybe they can get lucky this time” as Chuter said after the jamboree. That’s just the tip of the iceberg for the 2026 season. Check out the full Week 1 schedule below, and read all about jamboree week in this issue.

Salmen senior RB makes a name for himself during jamboree win over Covington BY JOSEPH HALM Staff writer
Salmen running back Kordé Harris had to hold back his emotions a bit. The senior had just rushed for 143 yards and three TDs during a 27-7 win over Covington during a jamboree at Jack Salter Stadium on Aug. 28. And now, he was ready to celebrate with his teammates. “This game, I was very locked in,” Harris said. “I wanted to show these guys who I am and make a name for myself. Tonight felt good. I feel like crying right now, but I’m just going to hold on and celebrate with my teammates. I’m just going to soak it in.” Harris had plenty to reflect on. He was the engine on Salmen’s first scoring drive,

said. “He is strong, and he is fast. I was also impressed with my offensive line tonight with the way they were able to control the front. We still need to clean up some things in pass protection, but I’m happy with where they are at.” Harris took over in the second half when he added two more TD runs along with a 53-yard scramper before he was tackled at the 1. It was a performance that almost didn’t happen, as Harris was originally slated to play just one half like many of the Salmen starters, but injuries at running back forced the senior to carry the load. “We kind of had to sit back and run Kordé,” Chuter said. “The offensive line had to carry the team for us,

Only Pope John Paul II didn’t take the field this past week for the final dress rehearsal before the regular season. Keep reading to see how your team did in their final contest before Week 1.
THURSDAY, AUG. 27
CENTRAL PRIVATE 27, NORTHLAKE CHRISTIAN 0: The Wolverines didn’t have a scrimmage, but they made a lengthy road trip to Central Private, which is just north of Baton Rouge in Central, Louisiana. Coach James Willis said that was by design to give his team more practice time while also letting his young team experience a road trip before the start of the regular season. The Wolverines will host Hannan in the season opener on Sept. 4. NORTHSHORE 24, JESUIT 13: See story, Page 3B. PINE 7, LAKESHORE 0: See story, Page 3B.

DE LA SALLE 26, FONTAINEBLEAU 7: The Cavaliers had big plays on offense and defense to take a large halftime lead en route to the victory during the first game of the Newman Jamboree at Michael Lupin Field. De La Salle turned a Bulldogs’ turnover into a 98-yard TD drive. Fontainebleau had its moments on offense but had trouble finishing drives. The Bulldogs opening drive after the first-half kickoff encompassed 10 plays and went down to the 7-yard line after starting off at their 40-yard line. But Fontainebleau quarterback Logan Astugue threw an interception caught by a diving Rochai Holmes that ended the scoring threat. The Cavaliers also had a fumble recovery on a bad snap and forced a turnover on downs in the red zone as junior running back Sheldon Asmore was stopped on fourth and goal. “We shot ourselves in the foot a lot and are still making mistakes on offense,” first-year Fontainebleau coach Chris Womack said. “We didn’t perform well on defense either. We still have a lot of work to do and fix our mistakes.” Fontainebleau found the end zone late in the second half after Carter Matherne ran the ball in from 7 yards out. Asmore led Fontainebleau with 71 yards on 15 carries. HANNAN 14, COUNTRY DAY 0: See story, at right. MANDEVILLE 14, FRANKLINTON 3: See story, Page 3B. PEARL RIVER 14, ST.

Pearl River will travel to Pearl River Central (Miss.) in the season-opener on Sept. 4. “Overall, we did some positive things, but we have to correct some areas,” Pearl River coach Jerry Leonard said. “I thought the defense did a good job, but we have to take advantage of our opportunities on offense. We had the ball twice inside the 5-yard line and came up with no points. We have to correct that.” RUMMEL 35, ST. PAUL’S 17: See story, at right. SALMEN 27, COVINGTON 7: See story, Page 1B.

The defending state champions took a 21-7 halftime lead before scoring 27 points in the second half. Slidell’s lone scoring play came on the final play of the first half as Ricky Williams III connected with Michael Thompson for a 19-yard TD reception.

Continued from page 1B ritual that the team picked up after attending LSU’s team camp this summer, and the topics change daily. The purpose is to help each player reset from a day of schoolwork and focus on practice. “Everyone knows the standard from last year,” senior Caitlin Cambre said. “We have so much experience, and that’s a good thing. Now, we’re focused on improving the little things that make the difference.” The Doves made the state championship match for the first time last year, and now, they want more. There’s every reason to believe that’s possible since the team returns four seniors and seven juniors. “I think our seniors from last year left a legacy of

St. Paul’s hangs tough before Rummel pulls away BY TAMMY NUNEZ
Contributing writer
All eyes were trained on the starting quarterbacks at the Christian Brothers Jamboree at Hunter Stadium on Friday. Rummel showcased its four-star transfer recruit, senior Colton Nussmeier (6-foot-3, 195 pounds), for just the second time. St. Paul’s junior backup quarterback Jack Henry Seal was thrust into the spotlight, filling in for suspended senior QB Brady Pierson. But Rummel’s running backs stole the show in the second half to overtake the Wolves for a 35-17 victory. The Raiders ended up with 250 rushing yards as Tulane commitment Jaden Terrance and Coryan Hawkins did the lion’s share of the work. “We got the run game going. We have two good backs, and we showed that tonight,” Rummel coach Nick Monica said. But it wasn’t until the second half that Rummel clicked offensively. The Raiders thundered back from a 17-6 halftime deficit, keyed by Brodie Bastoe’s interception of a Seal pass on the goal line with 13:24 remaining in the game. “Once we snapped the ball, we kind of forced it in,” St. Paul’s coach Josh Gast said. “A couple plays later, they run the play down the field and instead of us being up 18, we were only up three, and it’s a one-score game. So when we didn’t capitalize in the red zone, that was probably the turning point.” Hawkins took the first carry from scrimmage after the interception 41 yards downfield. Terrance ran the next carry 47 yards into the end zone. With the kick, the Raiders cut St. Paul’s lead to 17-14 just two minutes into the second half. Rummel recovered a fumble to stop the next possession, and Hawkins finished the ensuing drive with a 7-yard touchdown run as Rummel took its first lead at 21-17 with 6:48 to go. But the first half was a different story — a story of the Raiders’ new quarterback trying to find a rhythm with a young offensive line and St. Paul’s moving the chains offensively. Wolves defensive lineman Jacob April attacked early to key St. Paul’s. After a false start penalty on the first play of the game, April stripped Nussmeier deep in Rummel territory on the second play, raking the ball out of the quarterback’s clutches with his right hand. In a mad scramble to recover the fumble, April pounced on it, giving the Wolves a first down on the Rummel 5-yard line.

The Wolves’ defense contained Nussmeier in the first half, and the Raiders’ offense also contributed. “The pre-snap (penalties), that kills us. Colton had to run around too much. We have to keep him upright long enough to be able to throw the ball,” Monica said. “We had some miscommunication with the receiver position, so we have a lot to work on.” Without the red zone interception, Rummel wouldn’t have won, Monica said. “I just told the guys, I think if (St. Paul’s) punches it in right there, I don’t think we win the game,” Monica said. “It’s that big of a play because I think we scored right after and we went from them inside the 10 to us inside the red zone in just two or three plays.” As for St. Paul’s, the loss of momentum ruined the night. But Gast had praise for Seal, who connected St. Paul’s RB Charlie Kingrea fights past the tackle attempt of Rummel DB well with receivers in the first half. “He had a great week of prepaKingsley Barconi Jr. ration, so I think he went into the Penalties and a sack prevented run to give St. Paul’s a 10-6 lead game with some poise,” Gast said. the St. Paul’s touchdown, but Rob- with 2:28 left in the first half. “He felt prepared, and he threw Then, the Wolves’ special teams some pretty good balls, so I like ert Graham hit a 33-yard kick for a 3-0 lead with 11:57 remaining in shined as junior Christian Martin where he’s at.

Smith, Rist shine as Hannan shuts out Country Day, 14-0 BY PEYTON DOYLE Contributing writer
Even without starting running back Riley Jones, Hannan still found ways to break through Country Day’s defense on the ground during a 14-0 jamboree victory on Aug. 28. Sophomore running back Braylon Smith led the charge, tallying 54 rushing yards and a touchdown on nine carries. Smith also added a 30-yard gain on a middle screen. “Braylon (Smith) was definitely good tonight. He’s a great young kid for us, and he’s going to do great all year for us,” Hannan coach Steve Soper said. “Especially when Riley (Jones) joins him, it’s going to be a nice little backfield for us. They complement each other, they do a great job of blocking for each other and
‘We started this, now you go finish it,’ ” Cardinale said. “They set a standard, and now it’s the job of this year’s seniors to go out and complete what we set out to do.” This SSA team is also very deep. Lanclos returns to run the offense, while junior Marigny Vaugh will also set in the Doves’ 6-2 rotation. Cambre and junior Alex Liner, a third-year varsity player, are back as outside hitters, and sophomore Haylie Williams returns in the middle. Junior Molly Alexander will step into the libero role. “I think it is going to be hard to stop us,” Cardinale said. “We’re not a middle forward team. We’re not an outside forward team. We also set our right sides a lot. Sometimes I don’t even know who our setter is going to set at the moment, so good luck scouting that.” Lanclos, who had 1,151 assists, 600 digs and 79 aces
reading the holes and making that first guy miss and making things happen.” Sophomore Dylan Robles and junior Grant Higgs both found chunk plays from the backfield, as well as senior quarterback Braden Sprang. In addition to 20 yards on the ground, Sprang finished the night 8-of-13 passing for 70 yards and a touchdown. “We’ve got a good backfield but ultimately it’s the guys up front that really plowed the way for them,” Soper said. “Those guys are great athletes, they do well, but without those guys up front… man they really looked great tonight.” While the offense scored twice in the opening half, the Hawks’ defense stifled the Cajuns at nearly every opportunity. In the first half, Hannan allowed just 38 yards. The star for the
last year, agreed: “I feel like our offense is the most diverse of all the schools that we have played. We have so many players who can swing that it is just insane.” But the Doves are more than just a diverse offense; SSA is embracing a total team approach. “I think the biggest thing is we’re not starting from ground zero,” Cardinale said. “I think it takes a coach to start a culture, but it’s the players that build the culture. I really feel like that is where we’re at. It’s less from me and more about the accountability from the upperclassmen to the younger players.” Williams is one of those younger players who led the team with 74 blocks last season. “I love our team and how we bond together, and we all have a deep connection on and off the court,” Williams said. “I really want this year to be the most memorable
Hawks was senior defensive back Ryan Rist, who picked off Jack Grace in the first half. “We didn’t have any film, but it was what we knew was going to happen,” Rist said of his interception. “It was a crosser, took it out of his hands and ran the numbers with it.” In the second half, Rist kept it up, deflecting two more passes on Country Day’s opening drive to keep the shutout intact. “Coach Bellamy, our new coordinator, he had the perfect game plan,” Rist said. “We knew what was coming, those crossers, the outs and we were there, we made the plays. “It’s great for the confidence, we didn’t have any shutouts last year. A shutout this year shows a lot of growth, and we’re looking real good.”
On the other sideline, after a handful of miscues in the opening half, the Cajuns found improvement on both sides of the ball. Late in the half the offense put together its first extended drive, getting to Hannan’s 5-yard line, while the defense posted a secondhalf shutout. “Second half, our defense really kind of bunkered down and took care of business,” Country Day coach Ben Powell said. “Offensively we had some dropped balls, we had some opportunities here and there so we just got to keep pushing through. “We didn’t scrimmage so there was some of that kind of stuff, mechanical and tempo stuff or lining it up and all that.” Hannan will open the regularseason at Northlake Christian on Sept. 4.

Liner, who led the team with 526 kills last year, said the Doves are ready to take the next step as they embrace their tough regularseason schedule. “We have so much potential,” Liner said. “Our varsity is mostly juniors and seniors, so we have a lot of volleyball IQ.

Mandeville’s defense bends but doesn’t break against Franklinton BY DAVE WOODALL Contributing writer
Mandeville’s defense was tested during a jamboree against Franklinton at Sidney Theriot Stadium on Aug. 28. The Skippers’ defense passed as the home team allowed the Demons only a field goal in a 14-3 victory. “Despite all the penalties, we executed when we needed it,” Mandeville coach Craig Jones said. “We saw a lot of fixable stuff, and we have to improve on our tackling. And as is the nature of the game, as some kids get hurt, we need people to step up and play. I think program-wide we have hit a big reset in how we approach everything in the off-season, partly because we had a team that was a little younger and we were going to have a little more time with them. This is one of the tightest groups we’ve had, and they have faced a lot of adversity already, but I believe they will be able to work through it.” One of those injuries came to se-
nior wide receiver Jake Jacketti, who suffered a knee injury during a tackle after a catch. He’ll be reevaluated this week to determine the injury’s severity. The Skippers’ offense started fast, scoring on its first drive. Sophomore quarterback Krew Collura hit Luke Demelo for a 17-yard touchdown pass to take a 7-0 lead following a successful extra point by Carson Champagne. Collura, who threw for over 100 yards, said it was a good final dress rehearsal. “We had good preparation coming into the game,” Collura said. “We didn’t get to see any film on them since their game was canceled last week. Our execution was great, and I thought we looked sharp through most of the game. If we can keep our mistakes to a minimum, this offense will be dangerous.” The game dragged a little after that as penalties and miscues derailed both offenses until sophomore Creshaun McCollum’s 2-yard TD run set the final score.
“Coming into the game, I was confident in my ability to play,” McCollum said. “We are deep at the running back position, and we all have different abilities that can help the offense. “Our defense is electric, to be honest. They push us hard in practice. Even though a couple of guys went down, we are looking good. We are very deep in all positions. If we can be consistent in practice and work and grind, we will be good.” The Skippers will travel to Salmen on Sept. 4 to open the regular season, and Jones said the key moving forward is to limit mental mistakes. “Our offense moved the ball early and was very crisp in their execution,” he said. “However, we got nicked up a little bit, and I think that it affected what we were trying to do. The penalties really slowed the game late and made the play very sloppy. Bottom line, I was happy with what I saw early, and if we can just work on limiting our penalties and continue to do that, we will be all right.”
Northshore’s Brendell Vedol said that throughout the week during punt return drills, he told his team he just needed three seconds of blocking to score. They obliged, and the senior held up his end of the bargain — returning a punt 96 yards for a touchdown late in the first half as the Panthers earned a 24-13 jamboree victory over Jesuit on Aug. 27. Vedol, who also plays offense and defense, took the kick at the Panthers’ 4. The senior broke a couple of tackles and bounced the play outside. Vedol out ran the remaining Jesuit defenders down the home sideline for a touchdown. “On the sideline, I’ve got two different calls. I’ve got a safe call, and I’ve got a middle call,” Vedol said. “I feel like I’ve been a playmaker, so I know I’m back there for a reason. I caught it, and I had some blocks. I saw green grass, and when I see green grass, (they’re) not going to catch me.” Northshore coach Bobby Sanders said the return was a momentum-changer. “To be honest with you, I was like, ‘first off, what is he doing catching the ball at the 4-yard line?’ Then, he got hit as soon as he caught the ball and bounced off,” Sanders said. “I couldn’t really get excited because I saw a flag, and I assumed it was on us, but he’s a playmaker. That’s why he’s back there. So, it was a helluva play, big momentum changer in the game for us, and we were able to sustain after that and hold on.” The flag was for an illegal formation by Jesuit, which Northshore declined. Vedol’s return highlighted a first half full of big plays. Jesuit took a 6-0 lead on the game’s second play when Sully Sullivan connected with Ja’ir Burks on a 78-yard TD. Northshore blocked the extra point, keeping it 6-0 just 54 seconds into the first of two 15-minute halves. That was Sullivan’s first of two

touchdown passes. “We’re going to go back and evaluate the film. We know what (Sullivan’s) capable of. We see it in practice, and I think we did a good job with things that were called that we executed,” Jesuit coach Ryan Manale said. “I still think we have some moving pieces up front to figure out who’s going to be our starting five. We still have a lot of guys playing. We just have to do a good job as coaches of evaluating film and trying to figure out a way to get our best 11 on the field.” Northshore answered with a run of 24 unanswered points that started when J.J. Gonzales completed a 49-yard TD pass to A.J. Bright for a 7-6 lead. After Northshore’s Tyson Burns recovered a fumble with 1:20 left, the Panthers drove down the field, and William Lachney booted a 25-yard field goal at the halftime buzzer for a 17-6 lead. For all the big plays of the first half, the Panthers began the second half with a marathon drive. Northshore drove 74 yards in 16 plays and tallied when Gonzales scored on a 2-yard run for a 24-6 lead. During the possession, Gonzales ran for first downs on thirdand-10 and fourth-and-10. Jesuit’s final touchdown came with 1:31 left on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Sullivan to Nicholas Friloux. Northshore opens the regular season at Lutcher on Sept. 4, while Jesuit will host Madison Prep on Sept. 3.
ANDERSON
Continued from page 1B especially for a 22-year-old who had signed just over a year ago. His first pitch, a 94.7 mph fastball, was popped up by Chicago Cubs MVP candidate Pete Crow-Armstrong. His first MLB strikeout came against former LSU standout Alex Bregman. He earned a no-decision as the Mariners walked off the Cubs in the ninth inning on a day when Anderson said had “his D+ stuff.” “It’s hard to put words to what that day was like,” Anderson said. “It was a blessing to go out and compete for this organization. What happened at the end with the walkoff was magical.” It has been a whirlwind for the entire Anderson clan. First, there was the 2025 College World Series where he was voted Most Outstanding Player while helping LSU win its second national title in three years. Then, he was the No. 3 pick in the MLB Draft. That was just 13 months ago. That’s right — Anderson officially signed with Seattle on July 21, 2025. He signed his call-up paperwork on Aug. 21, 2026. Karena joked that the family has been experiencing “one once-in-a lifetime-moment after another.” But this once-in-a-lifetime experience was even more special. Karena got the call from Anderson while she was painting her nails and planning a trip to watch her son play a minor league game in Arkansas. “He called and said, ‘I don’t think you’re going to come to Arkansas; You’re going to come watch me pitch against the Cubs on Saturday night,’ ” Karena said. “I was just screaming, crying, laughing, jumping up and down, all the things. It was just unreal.” His father, Eric, found out while he was crossing the Causeway Bridge and luckily managed to contain his emotions. About 12 hours after those calls, the family flew to Seattle for a weekend they would never forget. “I know you dream of it, but the odds of that happening are really slim,” Karena said. Still, his call-up was not a complete surprise, even though the Mariners promoted Anderson directly from Double-A Arkansas to

Seattle Mariners pitcher Kade Anderson takes a photo with his family before his MLB debut on Aug. 22. make his MLB debut in the middle of a playoff race. “Every time we watched him start (in the minor leagues), it just seemed like he kept getting better,” Karena said. “The season began in April, and then he had that one bad inning. That always makes me laugh because he had a bad inning, not a game. We sound ridiculous, but that’s how we are. And then, he just kept killing it.” Anderson’s entire journey through the minors amounted to 18 starts in the Texas League, where he went 10-1 with a 1.06 ERA and 135 strikeouts against 13 walks in 931⁄3 innings. But now, it was time for the Anderson family to see their son on baseball’s biggest stage, and it didn’t disappoint. “I love baseball, but I don’t love baseball like my husband and my family does,” Karena said. “I don’t watch baseball every single day, but Seattle absolutely loves their team. They love their Mariners just like New Orleans loves our Saints. It was just emotional to see that because there were Mariners jerseys everywhere.” Karena said the family received well wishes before and after the game from Mariners and Cubs fans alike, but the moment that set the tone for the day came before the first pitch. “We were told that there would be a limited number of his jersey at the team shop,” Karena said. “When we walked in and saw his No. 13 jersey, which is not his nor-
mal number, I got emotional. I think that made it that much more real. It was just a really special day.” Karena said the family section at the game was more than two dozen people, including his Madisonville Mudcats travel ball coach, his LSU pitching coach, some high school friends and plenty of family members. “It was really the best day that we got to share with some of the most amazing people in our lives,” Karena said. “I was so glad that we were able to share this once-in-alifetime memory with them.” And just like that, another oncein-a-lifetime moment was made before the family said goodbye with a Sunday night family dinner at Salty’s on Alki Beach. “It was pretty emotional because it was a goodbye, and those never get easier,” Karena said. “I keep thinking they will, but dang it, they don’t. It was a great dinner, and it was nice to reflect.” Just four years ago, Karena said “the best day of their lives” was his official visit to LSU, and then she blinked, and he’s an MLB starter. If Anderson’s debut was any indication, there will be many more positive memories to come. Anderson made his second start on Aug. 29 at Toronto as the lefty earned another no decision. He logged 41/ 3 innings, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks in 85 pitches. He also struck out three as he left the game with a 3-0 lead before the Blue Jays rallied for a 4-3 victory.
Lakeshore’s McGee shines while offense sputters against Pine BY JASON RUSSELL Contributing writer
If jamborees counted in the winloss column, Lakeshore would be in a bit of trouble after Thursday night. Luckily for the Titans, the games don’t start mattering in the record book until Week 1. Lakeshore’s offense sputtered for the majority of the night, and the defense couldn’t keep Pine off the scoreboard as the Raiders topped the home team 7-0 on Aug. 27. In a contest that consisted of two 12-minute halves, the Titans ran 10 plays in the first half, never getting past the Pine 44-yard line. Lakeshore turned the ball over on downs on its opening possession, punted on its second and lost a fumble just before halftime, mustering only 17 yards in the first half. Lakeshore finished the game with just 85 yards of offense (77 yards rushing). Pine scored the game’s lone points on its second possession as Cooper Thomas connected with Brayson Pittman for a 54-yard TD pass to cap a 7-play, 68-yard drive with 47 seconds left in the first half. Lakeshore’s offensive miscues continued as the Titans fumbled on their first play of the ensuing possession. Pine drove into field goal range, but Lakeshore senior Dayton McGee partially blocked the FG attempt to end the half.
McGee, who also recorded a sack, said Lakeshore’s defense is looking forward to the regular season. “We just need to work on intensity and executing,” he said. “We have a plan worked out, and we just need to do everything right. Everybody just needs to do their job. When everyone does that, it’s a special thing to see.” Lakeshore played better in the second half, ending Pine’s first possession of the period with a sack by McGee. The Titans took over with 8:39 left and drove to the Raiders’ 24yard line, where quarterback Brody Loudermilk was stopped on fourth down with 2:16 left. Pine went three-and-out, and a 10-yard punt gave Lakeshore the ball at the Pine 42 with 50 seconds left. Loudermilk got the Titans to the 27 before two incomplete passes ended the game. Loudermilk was just 3-for-5 passing for 8 yards, while Alexander Addison had 31 yards rushing on six carries. Despite the offensive struggles, McGee said he’s not worried about that side of the ball. “Brody, our offensive line and our receivers are all special guys,” McGee said. “I can’t wait for the regular season to start so we can show what our offense can do and what we can really do as a team.” Lakeshore hosts Fontainebleau to open the regular season on Sept. 4.

Continued from page 1B Football is finally here, so let’s strap in for what should be another exciting season under the Friday night lights. The full parish schedule is below, but first, our first Farmer Football 5 rankings of the season.
FARMER FOOTBALL 5 1 | Mandeville This week: at Salmen Mandeville is the preseason favorite for a lot of reasons, and they have performed well enough in the scrimmage and jamboree to hold on to that spot. The injury to senior WR Jake Jacketti is tough, as he’ll be reevaluated this week. The good news is that the wide receiver corps is deep, so if there was any unit that could overcome a key injury, it’s that one. Salmen will provide a tough opening week test. 2 | Salmen This week: vs. Mandeville The Spartans showed me something on Friday night. They went to Covington and were simply more physical than the Lions. After two seasons in Class 5A, the Spartans have a big, strong offensive line to go with their speedy skill positions. Add in returning QB Da’John Howard, and this Salmen offense will score often. And if the defense is anywhere close to as opportunistic as it was against Covington, the Spartans will be tough to beat. 3 | St. Paul’s This week: at Destrehan The Wolves were leading Rummel at halftime as the defense held four-star QB recruit Colton Nussmeier in check. That’s impressive. Where St. Paul’s struggled was with finishing drives as has been the case throughout the preseason, but that’s fixable. The task doesn’t get easier with a trip to Destrehan
lll
in Week 1, but you can see the path towards improvement as the season wears on. 4 | Covington This week: at De La Salle It was not a good jamboree for the Lions. Salmen pushed them around, and the offense was out of sorts with turnovers and inconsistent play. But that’s why you play preseason games — to identify your weaknesses. I really do believe that all Covington needs is the routine of the regular season and more time in pads to start tapping into its potential, but that must start this week. 5 | Northshore This week: at Lutcher The Panthers scored 24 points against a good Jesuit team during a jamboree victory last week. It took Northshore two regularseason games to hit that mark last season, so it was definitely a good way to end the preseason. Now, they travel to play a good Lutcher team in Week 1. If Northshore can keep playing complementary football, they will have a lot of success this season. On the fringe: Slidell

SALMEN
Continued from page 1B and our little young back (Dar’ell Smith) had some success. I’m happy where we are right now, but we just have to stay healthy.” Salmen sophomore Dar’ell Smith added a late 6-yard TD run to set the final score. While the offense racked up 276 total yards, the defense forced four turnovers. Salmen junior Durell Charlot picked off the first pass of the game, while senior Rey’sean Coleman ended the first half with his interception. In the second half, Delaney Taylor recovered a fumble, and Carter O’Shaughnessy added an interception, Salmen’s third of the game. All of those turnovers came without senior DB Kevin Smiles, who was nursing a hamstring injury. While Salmen made all the key plays, Covington struggled after a solid start. Senior LB Steele Rogers recovered a fumble on Salmen’s first drive, which
helped set up an 11-yard Rodney Clark TD run for a 7-0 lead. But Covington’s next three drives ended with a missed field goal and back-to-back turnovers. Covington coach Greg Salter said he was disappointed with his team’s consistency. “There wasn’t much to like. We looked like a team that hadn’t gotten to practice very much. We weren’t very physical. We were sloppy tackling — not playing our assignments or our gaps defensively. We were chaotic offensively. We turned the ball over three or four times. We’ve got a lot of work to do,” Salter said. “I think the most important lesson from tonight is that potential is only something on paper. What you do on the field between the white lines is who you really are. We’ve got to look in the mirror and do some soul searching. We’ve got a lot of work to do.” Salmen will host Mandeville on Sept. 4 while Covington travels to De La Salle for the season opener on Thursday, Sept. 3.
