The Fontainebleau High Dazzlers are, well, dazzling during a break in the action in their school’s Sept. 4 game against Lakeshore High.

The president of the Rotary Club of Lacombe said chartering the ﬂedging chapter there proved to be quick and easy since so many members of the Lacombe community already lived as Rotarians and without even knowing it. “People in Lacombe were Rotary members before they knew what Rotary is,” said new club President Gerrin Narcisse, a lifelong Lacombe resident. “Rotary is about service, about outreach and providing for people in need. The residents of Lacombe would give the shirts off their backs to help their neighbors, so starting a Rotary club was a perfect ﬁt.” Narcisse learned about the principles of Rotary International during the organization’s district meeting last summer in Bay St. Louis,

Slidell officials broke ground last week on the city’s new police headquarters, a $17.6 million project that will replace the department’s current home in Olde Towne. The new complex, which will be about 36,000 square feet, is being constructed on Robert Boulevard near the intersection of Fountain Drive. It will include the city jail, as well as additional meeting rooms and offices. “This is much more than just a building,” said Slidell Mayor Randy Fandal at the Sept. 3 event. “This is an investment in our officers and their ability to serve, and most importantly, it’s an investment in the safety and future of our entire community.” He said the project should be completed by March 2028.

SECTION B Sure, the hardesthitting action happens between the lines, but what fills the spaces between plays — the bands bursting brass highs and percussive lows into the night air, the cheerleaders shouting rally cries, spirited student sections stomping packed stadium bleachers — it’s a scene that’s replayed at St. Tammany Parish schools for 10 glorious weeks from the beginning of September and until the beginning of November (more if the team is having a banner year and making a deep run into the playoffs.) Here’s to a competitive, healthy and fun-filled year on (and around) the gridiron for each of our local teams, their families, fans, and everyone else who relishes the special moments under the Friday night lights.

Narcisse is the assistant principal of Bayou Lacombe Middle School and the founding executive director of Bayou Lacombe Cardinals minor league football organization. “But as I sat and listened to the presentations and heard more and more about Rotary, I realized that this organization could benefit the Lacombe community and pull together so many people who are already service-minded,” he said.

Phillips, Schultheis running to be mayor of Pearl River

BY JIM DERRY Staff writer

Two well-known members of the Pearl River Town Council will face off for mayor this November, and each say having an open-door policy will be part of the platform in their respective bids for ofﬁce. Virgil Phillips, a No Party candidate, and Cheryl Schultheis, a Republican, are vying for the position, with the election being held Nov. 3 and early voting from Oct. 20 through Oct. 27. The winner will replace outgoing mayor Joe Lee, who has served since October 2021 when former Mayor David McQueen became ill and was unable to serve. McQueen died the following month, and Lee was elected to a full term in November 2022. He said he decided not to run for another term to spend more time with his family. He expects to continue working as a bus driver for St. Tammany Parish Public Schools. “This (mayor’s) job is so demanding, and I am about to be 62 years old,” Lee said. “I still drive my bus full time, and every day my routine is coming to the (mayor’s) ofﬁce at 5 a.m., drive my bus,

come back, drive my bus in the afternoon and then be back here again tomorrow morning.” The next mayor also will serve with a new police chief, as Jack Sessions also is not seeking reelection after two terms in ofﬁce. Both Phillips and Schultheis say having a good relationship with the next chief — either Steven Ball or John Polk — will be highly important.

Schultheis was an owner of a plumbing business for more than a decade before getting into public service. She served as Pearl River’s town clerk under McQueen and brieﬂy into Lee’s interim term before leaving her position to run for alderwoman. She now is in an administrative role for St. Tammany Parish, coordinating tasks across multiple facilities. She became a town alderwoman in 2022, her ﬁrst foray into politics. Born on the U.S. Marine base at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina, she moved to the New Orleans area early in life and graduated from Seton Academy, which closed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina 21 years ago. Schultheis said upgrading water and sewer lines across the area are among her top priorities, and she intends to pursue state grants and funds to reduce operating costs. She also said it was important to be able to listen to the concerns of those in

Covington Mayor Mark Johnson has presented to the City Council his proposed 2027 budget, which includes a fund balance he called “solid but not bloated.” The City Council plans to hold public workshops to comb through the $33.7 million spending plan on Sept. 22 and Oct. 20. Both meetings will begin at 5 p.m. in the council chamber. The proposed budget for the upcoming year is slightly larger than the $32.47 million the council approved last November for the current year. A council vote on the 2027 budget is expected on Nov. 10. The proposed 2027 budget estimates approximately $29.7 million in operating expenditures and about $3.2 million in capital expenses. Another $779,034 is budgeted for debt service.

We need to work together as a team, and that’s one of the main things I will focus on.” To get everyone on the same page, she says she would sit down with the new police chief and “establish some common goals,” and to make sure that when divisions arise between the police and the administration, the problems are quickly solved.

Two candidates want to be Pearl River police chief

PEARL RIVER

Phillips has spent nearly all his life in town and graduated from Pearl River High School in 1975. For the past 31 years, he has served as the public-address announcer at the home football games for his alma mater. He has served as an alderman under three mayors, including in an interim capacity in 2003 after incumbent Pat Walsh died. Phillips then won a runoff against Lola Monroe and left office during an unsuccessful run for mayor in 2010. He won his latest term in 2022. He currently owns a small lawncare service, Virgil and Sons. Before that, Phillips worked on the U.S. Space Shuttle External Tank Team at Lockheed Martin for nearly two decades. He is focusing his candidacy around working closely with the council, ensuring fiscal discipline and staying in communication with residents. He also now produces short informational videos on his Facebook page about goings-on around town, including one on a town hall and a Vietnam veterans memorial. “Outreach is important. You have to be readily available, you have to be transparent of what you’re doing and listen to the people’s concerns,” Phillips said. “You have to be able to work with the five people who sit alongside you on that council. There’s a misconception the mayor does what he wants, but he has to work to the will of the people.” Phillips also hopes to lead the way on upgrading the town’s sewer system and says, “I don’t mind knocking on someone’s door and telling them, ‘We’re small, but we’re mighty. We need help.’ ”

“As both the City Council and administration strive to be fiscally responsible, the 2027 budget (projected revenue verse projected expenditures) is in the black,” Johnson wrote in his budget message to the council. “Per usual, there has been no deficit spending nor an increase in taxes.” Revenues projected for 2027 include $18.35 million in sales taxes, reflecting a roughly 4.5% increase from the current year. Ad valorem taxes are projected to come in at $3.75 million while licenses/ permitting fees and utility franchise fees are expected to generate $1.6 million and $909,000 respectively. An additional $2.2 million in assorted money, from sources such as intergovernmental fees, facility rentals, fines and forfeitures, and interest on city accounts, also is expected to flow into Covington’s coffers.

The city collected $34.60 million in revenue over the past year. Johnson admitted that with budgeted expenses projected at $33.71 million for 2027, the city appears to be “cutting it pretty darn close.” He said the city has a rainy day fund of $6.9 million, plus another $5.9 million in reserve, that could be used in the event of a hurricane or other costly event. Johnson described the emergency fund balance as “a nice cushion but not enough to initiate any large new projects. Our fund balance is solid but not bloated.” The mayor said the proposed capital budget for 2027 does not include funding for major projects. The pause in large publicly funded developments will allow the city to rebuild it coffers and to “strive for private sector quality work as opposed to public sector,” he said.

Pearl River voters will decide Nov. 3 whether a current member of the Pearl River Police Department or a longtime law enforcement officer who got his start in the department years ago will replace the term-limited current chief, Jack Sessions. Steven Ball, 60, and John Polk 39, are both Republicans whose careers include stints with fire departments and emergency management. Both cite a deep love for the small town of 2,743 residents as a key reason they are running to oversee the department of 11 full-time employees. Polk, who joined the force four years ago, currently holds the rank of lieutenant and supervises the night shift. Before that, he worked for fire districts 7 and 11 and the town fire department. Ball is a business owner who works part time as a special agent for the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation, which is under the Louisiana Attorney General. Ball, who became captain and ultimately commander of the Sheriff’s Office reserve division, says that part of his resume best prepares him to be chief. “Managing 65 to 80 volunteers to do police work is much more complicated than managing full-time (employees) who work for pay,” Ball said. “One of the things I’m most proud of is we had 80 volunteers that could take over a shift and were trained up enough that they could fill that spot.” Ball said he will stress a return to community policing and wants officers to get out of their cars and interact with people. The department currently writes twice as many traffic tickets as Slidell, he said, and as he is campaigning, he said many people he’s talked to have a negative story to tell about encounters with police. He also wants to end what he described as an adversarial relationship between the department and the town government. “If you run a department that is fair, honest and open, eventually the adversarial stuff will go away,” he said. Currently, Ball said the department too often has only one officer on patrol, and he wants to make sure that there are at least two for safety reasons. He’s also calling for an end

team, calling it an unnecessary expense for such a small department and wants to replace unmarked cars with high-visibility ones as a crime deterrent. Ball cites his experience, education and rapport with other agencies as pluses. Currently, the department has been criticized for having an arrogant attitude, he said. “I don’t like it, and we are running to ﬁx it. Attitude comes from leadership, and arrogance trickles down.” Polk says that his four years with the Pearl River Police Department have given him a broad understanding of the entire department, and says his work with fire districts gave him experience in budgeting and payroll. “I have a lot of different leadership roles under my belt,” Polk said. He says his full-time status distinguishes him and that he often works as much as 100 hours a week, in part because he doesn’t want to leave an ofﬁcer alone on the street. Polk’s priorities as chief would be training, staffing and crime prevention, as well as building a better relationship with town government. “Right now, it’s nothing but arguing back and forth,” he said. “They are constantly cutting our budget, and that’s

something that needs to be stable.” Polk wants sufficient staffing to have two officers on shift at all times, which he says is needed for safety reasons. He also wants more cross-training with other agencies and in-house training to save money. As for crime prevention, Polk said the department needs to continue focusing on narcotics enforcement. He wants to create an explorer program for youth to “give kids something to do rather than sitting idle,” and increase involvement in schools as part of prevention. Polk says traffic stops deter crime, and he points to the department’s high solve rate for crimes as a further deterrent. “We could do better to be involved in the neighborhoods,” he said. “When we’re visible and active in the community, people coming in with bad intentions are going to think twice.” He wants officers to do their job, but stresses the need for professionalism. “In the past we’ve had a bit of a reputation — being called jerks. My biggest thing is being courteous … because you are doing a job, you don’t have to be an ass about it.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A plea to remember our Fallen Heroes on Patriot Day As we approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11, I ask that everyone please remember the fallen heroes who stepped up since that day when 19 terrorists hijacked four American airliners ä Bells to ring in and crashed them into Twin Towers of the remembrance in the World Trade Center in Covington. PAGE 6A New York City, as well as the Pentagon, killing nearly 3,000 people. Since Sept. 11, 2001, nearly 2 million U.S. military personnel have engaged in the Global War on Terror. More than 7,000 American service personnel have been killed — 144 of them from Louisiana. The St. Tammany Veterans Foundation, Inc./Heroes Farewell honors those who have sacriﬁced so much for us in the Global War on Terror. We have teamed with FL+WB Architects and designed a beautiful Fallen Heroes Memorial, located at the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Cemetery near Slidell, adjacent to Camp Villere. The memorial consists of an engraved brick path, surrounded by gardens and a pair of benches that welcome visitors to a 4-foot pedestal supporting a 5-foot Fallen

Soldier Battleﬁeld Cross. There, plaques show the faces and names of the fallen heroes from Louisiana and an explanation about the Sept. 11 attacks and the ensuing Global War on Terror. We ask everyone to remember them all on Patriot Day (Sept. 11), to honor their sacriﬁce and to support the Fallen Heroes Memorial at the SELA Veterans Cemetery. People can do that in a variety of ways, including sponsoring items to give comfort during ceremonies at the cemetery, volunteering to help beautify memorials, or honoring a veteran with a personalized engraved brick or a Christmas wreath.

Moray has served on the town council for ﬁve years and is currently the mayor pro tempore. A lifelong resident of Pearl River, he’s operated a local plumbing business for the last 20 years.

has lived in Pearl River for 18 years.

A manager at an automotive store, Shaffer said he wants to make Pearl River a great place to raise his ﬁve children. He added that he believes the fact that he hasn’t been in politics before is an asset. “I think what sets me apart is that I’m just a simple country boy who is for the community,” he said.

FROM THE FILES OF THE FARMER 25 years ago Causeway officials are asking fishermen trawling along the bridge to stop throwing anchor hooks onto the new metal hangers that hold the fiberoptic electrical wires. “There is a real potential for tragedy, in addition to possibly damaging our new $16 million ﬁberoptics system,” said Causeway General Manager Robert Lambert. Lambert said fishermen simply want to anchor their boats with the shepherd-like metal hooks. The metal hangers, which are being installed along the side of the bridge, provide an excellent and sturdy mechanism for anchoring, Lambert said. Once the lines are in place, the fishermen will run the risk of cutting the line and getting a real shock. “There are 25,000 volts running through that line and then there is a real risk of electrocution,” Lambert said.

She looked out and saw that a Marine helicopter, the same kind that had been used in Vietnam, had landed in the nearby pasture, with smoke pouring from under the rear rotor. The craft had been on its way from Belle Chase to Memphis to pick up some training publications when a hydraulic line caught ﬁre at 4,500 feet above St. Tammany Parish. “I looked around for pasture that didn’t have any cows or horses in it, and managed to get it down,” the pilot said after the emergency landing. Four men were in the craft, and from the Thompsons’ telephone, they called the Naval Air Base and asked for help. A second Marine helicopter came about three hours later and brought the part needed to repair the ﬁrst. Children from families up and down Bennett Bridge Road lined up along the pasture fence to view the downed copter, and upon invitation of the pilot, went to the craft for a tour.

The Dudley Selph was built by Mr. Sardy, who in the framing of this beautiful little yacht, proved himself to be a ﬁne mechanic and shipbuilder, as well as an excellent designer. The Dudley Selph is the first sloop yacht of that style and dimensions of which he has yet undertaken.

100 years ago St. Tammany Parish has suddenly awakened to the fact that its clear running streams, its picturesque woodland scenes, its ﬁshing and hunting that delights sportsmen, is of more importance to the community than the filling in of idle hours by local people who have accepted these advantages of nature as a part of their daily experience and with none of the emotion awakened in those who have been deprived of

storms, floods and small electrical fires.” The project was primarily funded by the sale of up to $19.8 million in bonds. Those bonds will be paid off by a sales tax increase of just over one-third of a cent, which voters approved in April 2024. The ceremony had about 150 attendees, including roughly 50 children from Bonne Ecole Elementary. “This building is for you,” City Council member Trey Brownfield told the students at the beginning of his remarks. He urged the students to be part of the city’s future in public safety.

Brownfield described having early discussions about the project at the department’s current home, where the tiles were cracked and the floors were uneven. The new headquarters will be built by Voelkel McWilliams Construction, whose $17.6 million bid was the lowest of the 10 companies competing for the project. The groundbreaking culminated in officials donning hard hats and shoveling dirt as part of the ceremony. They were quickly joined by a gaggle of students, dressed in red shirts and navy blue shorts, who eagerly grabbed shovels and flung dirt into the air.

supply drives and back-toschool haircuts offered without charge, a community resource fair, and construction projects for those in need. In addition, the club received attention from other Rotary Clubs across the country when they installed emergency ﬂotation devices at key points along Lake Road after the death of a Covington resident who drowned while attempting to save his granddaughter after she fell into the water on the west side of Lake Road. Club members worked with St. Tammany Parish Councilman Joe Impastato, along

with the state Dept. of Wildlife and Fisheries, to install the orange ﬂotation rings, imprinted with the message “In Memory of Chris Rushing,” as well as the club’s name and Rotary logo. “We’ve done so many things already, and our goal is to stay vibrant and growing,” Narcisse said. “We’ve got the quality of people needed to make an impact on our community and make the world a better place.” For information about joining, look for Rotary Club of Lacombe, La. on Facebook, or call Narcisse at (985) 8692802.

BY JIM DERRY Staff writer

A former principal and assistant principal of Covington’s Lyon Elementary School pleaded guilty on Sept. 2 to charges of failure to report abuse of a child. Lauryn Faciane, 50, the

former principal of Lyon Elementary, and Tonya Barth, 55, who previously served as the school’s assistant principal, each were sentenced to probation, according to District Attorney Collin Sims’ ofﬁce. They were arrested in May under a state law that

requires all school administrators to report any suspected abuse or neglect to law enforcement. Police declined to release details about the underlying abuse cases. At the time, their attorney, Roy Burns, said his clients did nothing wrong and

Board of Elementary and Secondary Education policies. “They were reasonable in everything they did,” Burns said in May. He didn’t immediately return a phone call for comment on Sept. 2. Faciane, who pleaded guilty to two counts, and

trative leave with pay, said Meredith Mendez, spokesperson for the St. Tammany Parish school system. In July, the School Board announced it had hired Ben Strohl, a former assistant principal at Lancaster Elementary in Madisonville, as Lyon’s new principal. Kaci Puglia, most recent-

Covington for six lives lost

Staff writer The St. Tammany Master Gardeners, in conjunction with LSU AgCenter, will hold its annual fall seminar, “Greaux Native: Plants, Bugs and People of the Southern Landscape,” Oct. 9 at the Castine Center (Pelican Park) in the Mandeville area. The 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. session will feature speakers who are subject matter experts; an array of native plants; and educational exhibits. Presentations start at 9 a.m. and will feature historian and writer author Elise Smith; horticulturist Jeff Wilson, the Mississippi State AgCenter coordinator; and Linda Auld, an experienced conservationist known widely as “The Bug Lady” in a nod to her understanding of beneﬁcials. n Smith, a professor emerita in the Arts Department at Millsaps College, will share stories and insights from her latest co-authored publication, “Southern Women, Southern Landscapes: Cultural Reflections on the Garden, 1870-1970.” In it, she explores how women of the South found inspiration, identity, and purpose through nature during this period, while the changing landscapes of history, culture and society was shaping their lives, their creative voices and their gardens. n Wilson, also an associate professor of horticulture at Mississippi State University who holds a doctoral degree in agricultural science, is expected to discuss discovering how native plants and carefully selected nonnatives can work together to provide year-round beauty, ecological beneﬁts and last-

Harper Cameron stands on a bucket to get her rod over a railing at a recent Youth Fishing Rodeo at Bogue Chitto National Wildlife Refuge in the Pearl River Watershed.

On Sept. 19, the Pearl Riverkeeper will celebrate its 10th anniversary Clean Sweep when some 400 volunteers join together in a massive effort to clean up area waterways. To date, the annual event has brought together more than 5,000 volunteers to remove 200,000 pounds of trash from the Pearl River watershed. This year’s big sweep will include 20 land- and waterbased locations from the Pearl River’s headwaters near Philadelphia, Mississippi, downriver through the Ross Barnett Reservoir, along the Mississippi-Louisiana border, and all the way to Pearl River in St. Tammany. The clean up spans 15 Mississippi counties, two Loui-

siana parishes and over 490 miles of river in support of drinkable, swimmable and ﬁshable water. About 50 miles north of its mouth, the river forks into two, with the East River forming the border of Mississippi and Louisiana, and the West Pearl River situated entirely in Louisiana. The Bogue Chitto River is one of

seven Louisiana designated natural and scenic streams that ﬂow within the watershed, which also is home to the Bogue Chitto National Wildlife Refuge Pearl Riverkeeper is a resident-based nonprofit dedicated to watershed health. Sweep participants must register in advance at pearlriverkeeper.com.

Fontainebleau High FFA in nationwide exchange

BY DARREN COOPER Contributing writer

At Fontainebleau High School, the FFA now also stands for Future Friends in Arkansas. Through the national FFA’s Chapter Connect program, the club at Fontainebleau has been connected with the FFA (formerly Future Farmers of America) chapter at Wynne High School in Arkansas. The aim is for the chapters to design and implement a shared project that benefits both clubs and fosters a longstanding relationship between the two schools, with plans to meet in person at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis in October. Schools that apply and are accepted into the Chapter Connect program get a $5,000 grant to attend the national convention. The first Zoom meeting of the officers from both schools was held in late August. Fontainebleau FFA adviser Joshua Scott said there was a lot of discussion about a potential project, but nothing was finalized. He also noted that a bond formed quickly. “Wynne has about 8,000 people, and it’s probably very rural compared to Mandeville, but I think our kids saw how they were still just high school kids with a lot of the same interests and likes and dislikes,” Scott said. “I think the Chapter Connect program is a great opportunity for our kids.” At Fontainebleau, interest in the FFA program remains high. Scott said there were 50 students in the program last year and the organization holds a popular fruit tree sale around Mardi Gras, among other activities. Texas Roadhouse is also donating 10% of sales to the chapter on designated days when customers mention either FFA (it actually stands for Future Farmers of America) or Fontainebleau. FFA students have also attended poultry judging camp and are eligible for FFA scholarships. “I want kids to understand that just because we are learning about plants and animals, there are more opportunities than just having a garden at home,” said Scott. “Joining the FFA can lead to lifelong skills, like public speaking and career readiness. Our student who went to poultry camp wanted to go to veterinary school, but now poultry judging has become a big part of her life.” Scott, a Loranger native, said original plans for the grounds at Fontainebleau included a barn and a greenhouse. For now, he hopes to restore a chicken coop on campus for the students to get some real-world experience. “We have a lot of really good ideas coming,” Scott said. “The kids are talking about doing a pickleball tournament to do some fundraising, because at the end of the day, things are expensive. And we’re always looking to get the word out there for kids who maybe don’t have the same agriculture background, but who want to learn.” Chapter Connect is a chance to bring FFA kids together from across the nation. Scott will be leading a group from the entire parish, including Covington and Pearl River to the national convention. “At the convention, there are mixers and different activities for the kids to compete in and participate,” Scott said. “It’s kind of a way for them to network and get to know one another at a personal level and in a private group setting to develop those relationships.”

The Slidell Noon Lions Club sent some $6,600 to the Thika School for the Visually Impaired in Kenya that was used to refurbish one of its old, deteriorated dormitories by adding a new roof, replacing ceiling panels, installing ceramic tiles around sink, shower and toilets, and do interior and exterior painting. The work was finished this past spring.

You never know what will come up during a Bogue Falaya River Sweep. During a previous sweep, volunteers recovered a shopping cart in the river’s edge.

Vounteers needed to sweep litter from Bogue Falaya River Staff report Keep Covington Beautiful needs volunteers to help carry out its annual cleanup sweep of a stretch of the Bogue Falaya River on Sept. 26. Volunteers are asked to sign up by Sept. 22 at info@keepcovingtonbeautiful.org/. Willing volunteers are invited to bring their canoes & kayaks to the Bogue Falaya Park Boat Launch at 9 a.m. Paddlers will then collect litter from the river between the U.S. 190 bridge and the 4th Avenue/Menetre Boat Launch. All trash collected will be unloaded, sorted and categorized at the park, where landbased volunteers will help unload and cat-

egorize the litter. Canoes and kayaks are available to volunteers from Canoe & Trail, and must be picked up and returned at The Chimes, where volunteers will also help sign in the paddlers. Text (504) 233-0686 to reserve one. KCB will provide trash bags, gloves and litter grabbers, but volunteers should bring their own drinking water. Snacks and water will be available in the park for volunteers and paddlers after the cleanup. Prizes will be given for the most unusual and the worst items collected, as well as for the most litter collected overall. Follow Keep Covington Beautiful and its projects on Facebook or contact them at info@keepcovingtonbeautiful.org/.

In 2025, the Slidell Noon Lions donated $6,600 and three Braille tablets to Kenya’s Thika School for the Visually Impaired, a project that satisﬁed two Lions International missions to step up its long ﬁght against blindness and to be more involved around the globe. Incoming Slidell Noon Lions Club President Dan Ferrari strongly encouraged the club, after his visit to Kenya last year, to make donations to the Thika School. The club and its supporters managed to send $6,600 that was used by the school to refurbish one of its old, deteriorated dormitories by adding a new roof, replacing ceiling panels, installing ceramic tiles around sink, shower and toilets, interior and exterior painting. The work was completed this past spring. Ferrari urged the club to donate again this year to fund more improvements to the school itself, which was not adequate or in good repair. In response, the club put up $2,000 from its treasury and 17 members and member friends donated the rest in order to wire another $6,650 (and send another three tablets) to the school’s manager, the Kenya East Territory Salvation Army, in late June. Penina Mutuku, the school’s head teacher, chose to expand the undersized student dining facility with the second Rotary donation, but unfortunately, it was not enough to complete the expansion. This project is deemed critical, as visually impaired students carrying hot food in an overcrowded facility risks burning themselves and one another. In July, the club was notified that the Kenyan government has now designated the Thika School as a “Center of Excellence” and committed the equivalent of $23,000 for infrastructure improvements that, along with the Slidell Noons Lions’ donation, should easily cover the cost of the dining hall expansion, plus other infrastructure improvements, Ferrari said. The Slidell club was formally recognized for its support of the school by the District Governor of Louisiana

In addition, the past president of Lions Clubs International congratulated the club for “exemplifying global service” through its partnership with the East African school, calling it a “prime example of traveling with purpose” and working with passion across borders to “to make the world a better place.” Slidell residents encouraged by the club to support its fundraising efforts, including Tuesday and Thursday afternoon bingo, the Second Saturday Pancake Breakfast, its annual Touch a Truck event and venue hall rentals. With funds raised from these activities, the club said good work can continue.

Dionysus picks a gem as grand marshal BY SUZIE HUNT

Contributing writer When Ruby Anderson trades the wagon-sized float she used in last year’s Olde Towne Kids Mardi Gras Day Parade for the lavish Krewe of Dionysus grand marshal float on Jan. 31, the precocious 7-yearold will be making local Mardi Gras history as the krewe’s first female grand marshal. “She has an amazing personality and is always smiling. We first saw her when she was a model at the Hugs4Kids fashion show, and we were blown away,” said Dionysus treasurer and bingo manager Andy Frisard. In the past, the krewe had selected as parade grand marshal a young man who faced challenges with a can-do attitude. When the krewe voted to go co-ed earlier this year and welcome women members, Frisard remembered Ruby’s smile. “We got some video from the fashion show of Ruby on the runway and sent it to the board. They thought she was great, and we knew who we wanted for our next grand marshal,” Frisard said. While at Whispering Forest Elementary School, the second grader loves art, time in the library and

Create in a Makerspace or attend a library Garden Fest

BY JACKIE RIECKE Contributing writer

The St. Tammany Parish Library has just celebrated the official opening of its first Makerspace and is busy putting finishing touches on an upcoming garden workshop that will focus on the fall growing season. Discovery and imagination are no strangers in the library, and when patrons are ready to take the leap to create, the new Makerspace work center in the Madisonville branch is ready for them, filled with equipment and tools for artmaking and crafting, including 3D printers and a laser engraver. On Aug. 22, with great fanfare and excitement, Library Director Trevor Collings, alongside library staff, held a ceremonial ribbon-cutting for the Madisonville branch Makerspace, then gave guests a tour and shared cake and lemonade. It is the first branch in the library system to have a Makerspace, but it won’t be the last. The Slidell branch will next welcome its own Makerspace when planned renovations are completed. Visit sttammanylibrary.org/makerspace

to learn more about this new resource. Up next, the library and St. Tammany Master Gardeners will host their joint Garden Fest on Sept. 12 at the Covington branch from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. In past years, the fest was held in spring, so this year will provide a great opportunity to promote fall gardening, which is a rich growing season in south Louisiana that lots of people don’t realize. At this free event, there will be guest speakers, table talks and children’s activities. Andre Olagues will host two lectures, “You thought you knew hummingbirds“ and “Plants that are most attractive to hummingbirds in the Deep South,” while from the LSU AgCenter, Will Afton will promote autumn green thumbs with his talk on “Growing Tips for Fall.” Other table talk topics will include bromeliads, starting plants from seeds and insect pollination. Attendees will also be offered light refreshments, activities and an opportunity to win door prizes. This event is free and open to the public. Interested in learning more about gardening? Visit sttammanyli-

brary.org/gardening to get started. Another event coming up at the Madisonville branch will be an author’s talk with retired Coast Guard chief petty ofﬁcer, journalist and author Judy Silverstein Gray discussing her book, “Unwavering: The Wives Who Fought to Ensure No Man is Left Behind” at the Madisonville branch, 1123 Main St., on Sept. 15 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Cowritten with Taylor Baldwin Kilan, the book shines light on the events that unfolded when American soldiers went missing during the Vietnam War and a small group of military wives became their advocates and champions. Gray’s military and public affairs work gave her a front-row seat and perspective on this era of history and the advocacy work done by this group of military spouses. The author will present via Zoom, and patrons may participate either online or at the branch. Visit bit. ly/4x2I8XY to register online.

Friends events The Friends of the Slidell Library will hold their Second Saturday Special Sale on Sept. 12 from 10 a.m.

to 1 p.m. at the Slidell Library, 555 Robert Blvd. This month’s sale theme will be cookbooks. The ﬁrst concert of the free Friends Fall Concert

series will be held outdoors at the Pearl River branch on Sept. 16 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. with the Nat and Kat Cajun String Band. The next Friends of the

Library of West St. Tammany’s Used Book Sale will take Sept. 18-19 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at their new address, 321 W. 29th Ave., in Covington.

Several teams pass tough Week 1 tests

GRITTY DEBUT

Farmer Football 5

After a Week 1, which only saw three local games last Friday, the theme of Week 2 is “back home again.” Eight football games will be played at home on Sept. 11 in St. Tammany Parish. That’s a football Joseph fan’s delight, but before we Halm dive into the upcoming games, I would be remiss to not talk about last week. Week 1 was a grind, as it usually is. Mandeville overcame a slew of injuries to beat a very good Salmen team. Northshore looked like it was going to run away from Lutcher before having to hang on for a victory. Lakeshore’s Hunter Bonvillain got his first win as a head coach. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. If the motto of the postseason is “survive and advance,” then last week was all about surviving and getting better. That growth will take another step this week, as several tests loom. Covington continues its road warrior ways as the Lions travel to Franklinton. Yes, the Demons fell to Amite last week, but Franklinton is a tough place to play. The Lions will need to keep improving to get another road win. Northshore will host a very good De La Salle team that led Covington by as many as 14 points last week. Is the Panthers’ high-powered offense for real? The Cavaliers will test that theory. St. Paul’s opens its home season with a tough matchup against Brother Martin. Pope John Paul II also takes a step up in competition as Pine comes to town after a 30-0 win over Varnado. Hannan, which is coming off a dominating 56-0 season-opening win over Northlake, celebrates senior night against Parkview Baptist. Fontainebleau first-year coach Chris Womack gets a chance to earn his first win as the Bulldogs host East Jefferson. And then, there’s the game of the week as Lakeshore travels to Slidell. Both teams are coming off season-opening victories. The Titans established their run game in a 35-17 win over Fontainebleau last week. The Tigers return to L.V. McGinty Sr. Stadium with all the momentum in the world after a 17-14 road win over Holy Cross. Can the Titans keep Slidell’s athletes in check? Can the Tigers’ defense have a repeat performance? Either way, one of these teams will start the season 2-0. Week 2 is all about seeing growth, and I predict we will see a lot of it on the field Friday. The full parish schedule is below, but first, our weekly Farmer Football 5 rankings.

A 90-yard Dylan Henry kickoff return helps Mandeville knock off Salmen, 35-17 BY JOSEPH HALM Staff writer

Mandeville senior Dylan Henry knew his team needed a big play. The Skippers were trailing for the first time during the season opener at Salmen on Sept. 4. The South Alabama commitment made sure that deficit was short-lived. Henry’s 90-yard kickoff return for a score put the Skippers back in front en route to a 35-17 road victory. “We needed some big plays, and I know I’m a bigtime player, so I’m going to make big plays when we need them,” Henry said. “I was mad (after his first return was called back). I had to go get another one. This is a great win because we had a couple of injuries, but we showed how we can beat adversity.” Henry had a 91-yard kickoff return called back on the final play of the first half, but the next time he touched the ball in the third quarter, he made up for it. While Henry’s kick return shifted the momentum, it was junior Max Malik’s interception later in the third quarter that allowed the Skippers to take complete control. With the ball at the Salmen

Mandeville’s Amir Releford, left, and Skye Margulis break up a pass intended for Salmen’s Rey’sean Coleman. 48, Mandeville marched down the ﬁeld, capped by a 5-yard Krew Collura run to take a 28-17 lead with 10:17 left. After a failed Salmen fake punt, Luke Demelo hauled in a 17-yard TD pass to seal the

victory. Mandeville sophomore QB Krew Collura, who ran for two scores and threw for another, gave all the credit to his teammates.

Slidell’s football team could not have asked for a better start to the season. On the first play from scrimmage, cornerback Harlem Steele picked off Holy Cross quarterback Cooper Odle’s pass and ran it back for the opening touchdown in a 17-14 season-opening win at Tad Gormley Stadium on Sept. 4. Nine minutes later, Steele struck again, getting his second interception of the quarter. “It felt good. The work my coaches have had me putting in is just all the time,” Steele said. “They always have me working and I always execute, always. “The guys always support me through everything. We always support each other; it’s a brotherhood. When I caught my picks, we were hyped.” Slidell’s offense initially struggled, however. The Tigers didn’t get a first down until the second quarter and finished the first half with 43 total yards. Due in part to the stagnant play on offense, Slidell found itself tied 7-7 at halftime. In the second half, Slidell started to find its rhythm, taking the opening drive for a score. Senior QB Ricky Williams III passed for 32 yards on the drive and running back Ja’Kwan Jones capped the march with a 1-yard TD run. “Both of those guys were locked in,” Slidell coach Damon Page said of Williams and Jones. “It’s positivity from them even when the plays are negative. “But (Jones) has to be a little more patient, he was a little juiced up. You’re trying to get downhill right now but if you’re just a little more patient, I think those holes will open up for them and the inside run game is there.” After giving up some big plays to Holy Cross to end the second quarter, Slidell’s defense was impenetrable for the majority of the second half. Odle couldn’t beat the defense with his arm or his legs and running backs Atrius Miranda and Walter Nelson had no room to work with. In the fourth quarter, Slidell’s special teams stepped up. After a bad snap, punter Wyatt Burckel evaded two tacklers to get the punt off and pinned Holy Cross at the 10-yard line with seven minutes left. Slidell’s defense then finished the job on the next drive. After two sacks earlier in the contest, senior Javonte’ Watkins recovered a fumble at the Holy Cross 14. From there, Slidell burned the clock, and Burckel delivered a 30yard field goal to put them up 17-7. “Javonte’ ay, you got to look out, that guy sticky, ay,” Steele said. “He’s a very good player and a very good brother. He stands up for me all the time, and he’s always there when I need him.” With backup quarterback Garrett Chittenden in, Holy Cross found a second touchdown but couldn’t make up the full difference. Slidell (1-0) will host Lakeshore (1-0) on Sept. 11.

Mandeville shows toughness in 5-set win over MCA BY JOSEPH HALM Staff writer

For two-plus hours, Mandeville and Mount Carmel went toe to toe, and neither team blinked. Some points lasted for what seemed like hours, while a loud and animated Skippers’ student section hung on every point. It was only fitting that the match went to five sets. In the end, Mandeville secured its second 5-set win in less than 24 hours as the Skippers earned a 16-25, 25-23, 25-23, 21-25, 15-9 home victory on Sept. 2. “It feels really good because I feel like we’ve worked really hard,” said Mandeville junior Maelle Markovic (13 kills, 30 digs). “It feels really good to have everybody fighting together for the win because I feel like last year, we were really individual. Now, we’re

finding a way to work as a team and use all of our skills together.” The Skippers (2-0) certainly needed a total team effort to knock off a Mount Carmel squad that had 10 players record at least one dig. The Cubs (1-1) made every point tough as first-year Mandeville coach Danny Tullis made his Skippers’ home debut. “When you play a great volleyball team, and Mount Carmel is a great volleyball team, if you play well and they play well, and they beat you, then they beat you,” Tullis said. “But we can’t lose our minds and be scared to play. I was proud of the girls because they kept fighting. We’re learning how to be a better version of ourselves.” After a back-and-forth first four sets, Mandeville took control in the fifth. With the score tied at 5-5, a Mount Carmel net

Mandeville football’s new PA voice has deep connection with school and Saints BY JOSEPH HALM Staff writer

David “Storm” Manning has a long history with Mandeville High, even though he didn’t graduate from there. The New Orleans native and De La Salle graduate is the oldest of four siblings, and all three younger siblings graduated from Mandeville after his family moved to St. Tammany Parish while he was in college. But his Mandeville connection doesn’t stop there; his twin sons are Class of 2023 MHS graduates, and Manning has mentored the school’s senior broadcasting interns for more than a decade. It’s safe to say he bleeds royal blue and white, so it was only fitting that when the football public announcer position came open, he would offer his services. “I’m flattered to do it,” Manning said. When fans hear his voice

over the speakers during Friday night’s home opener against Bonnabel, some might be transported to a slightly larger venue, just south of the lake. See, the 47-year-old is entering his eighth season with the New Orleans Saints as the PA announcer/gameday host. He’s also the backup announcer for the New Orleans Pelicans. “I get to do all the player introductions, all the announcements regarding sponsorships, things that happen during the TV commercial breaks to keep the fans engaged, and halftime shows. It’s really fan engagement and interaction,” Manning said. He’s been a DJ for 30 years and is good friends with Mandeville broadcast teacher Rusty Gregoire, which adds another element to his Skippers’ connection. “Mandeville really wants to try to enhance the gameday experience for the commu-

nity,” Manning said. “I had a couple of meetings, and it was a very quick process. They offered it to me, and considering the personal relationship I had with Mandeville High over the last few decades, it was hard to turn down.” Manning said he’ll bring some of the things he’s learned from Saints in-game announcer Mark Romig to the Sidney Theriot Stadium experience as the Skippers embrace turning the stadium into “The Riot Zone.” “I don’t want to be a poor man’s Mark Romig, but you learn some things when you get to hear him over the years,” Manning said. “You take some things from the best and make it your own.” Manning said calling the scrimmage and jamboree games has been an experience, but he’s excited about the start of the regular season. “It’s always easier to get excited for the job when you’ve

been a fan of the team prior to taking on the job,” Manning said. “It feels more personal, and when there is a personal investment in it, I ﬁnd that my level of excitement goes up a little bit. When that comes out over the mic, it translates to a higher level of excitement for the fans. That’s the ultimate goal.” While Manning continues to live out his dream with the Saints and now by calling games on Friday nights, he said he has a simple message for anyone trying to chase a new goal. “I want people to know that it is okay to try to do something that you think is beyond you,” Manning said. “I didn’t believe for a second that I would get a call back for the Saints position, but because PHOTO BY JOE TROMBATORE I took a chance, it paid off in Mandeville football PA David ‘Storm’ Manning calls the my favor. jamboree against Jesuit on Aug. 29. “The second and most important thing is to always stay humble.

Humility is ultimately around the teams and sports chances are on the other side what won me the Saints job. that I love.”

Continued from page 1B “I just want to start with how special this team is,” Collura said. “You don’t see teams lose their starting receiver, who is one of the best on the northshore, and just be able to respond like that and put up 35 points. This was a big game up front for us because they made this possible.” Mandeville coach Craig Jones said he was proud of the way his team battled in the second half after giving up the lead. “There was a lot of uncertainty during the week with some injuries,” Jones said. “I told the kids that Week 1, even without the injuries, is always a war of attrition because of the heat and the humidity. I was proud of the guys who had to go in and play in some spots.” The Skippers were without leading receiver Jake Jacketti, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in the jamboree. Running back Creshaun McCollum left the game when he aggravated an injury in the ﬁrst half, and Collura battled through a shoulder issue to throw for 103 yards. Mandeville junior running backs Will Estep (12 carries for 69 yards) and Jack Lejeune (12 carries, 45 yards, TD) shouldered the load on offense. “Our running back room is stacked, and it’s something that we’ve been able to use,” Collura said. “We have three great running backs. Our backs stepped up. We were gashing them up the ﬁeld. It makes my job a lot easier.” Henry also battled cramps after his kickoff return in the second half. “He’s an awesome player and will do anything to win,” Jones said. “We didn’t think we were going to have him after the second long kickoff return because we thought the cramps were going to get him. He would go in and give us a couple of plays. And I thought Roy Magee did a good job of spelling him. (Henry) is huge for what we do.” While Mandeville enjoyed

SCORING SUMMARY

Mandeville’s Cooper Maylin fights for extra yards against Salmen. Mandeville’s Caeden Martin hangs on to Salmen’s Kordé Harris. a road win, Salmen had chances to take control of the game in the second and third quarters, but penalties and missed assignments proved costly. “It’s not the end of the world,” Salmen coach Eric Chuter said. “We kind of ran out of gas, which I’m disappointed about. I thought we

were in better shape than we were. It’s always tough against a deep team like Mandeville. There’s a reason I like playing these guys because it can expose the things that you need to ﬁx for the rest of the season.” The game was a battle throughout, as evidenced by a scoreless ﬁrst quarter.

The Skippers struck ﬁrst in the second quarter with a 23-yard Henry catch to the 2 that set up a 2-yard Lejeune TD run for a 7-0 lead. The advantage grew to 14-0 when Collura pulled the ball and sprinted 29 yards for a score. Then a late hit gave Salmen a key ﬁrst down that ignited the offense as Kordé Harris scored on a 2-yard TD run.

Bergeron’s 4 TDs power PJP II season-opening rout BY CHRIS KINKAID Contributing writer

Pope John Paul II’s Evan Bergeron had a night to remember to start the 2026 season. The junior fullback ran over, around and through Thomas Jefferson’s defense to the tune of 215 yards and four touchdowns in a 62-7 season-opening victory at Lester PHOTO BY CHRIS KINKAID Latino Field on Sept. 3. Bergeron credited the ofPJP II junior Evan Bergeron fensive line for his great rushed for 215 yards and night. four touchdowns in a 62-7 “I thrive off of them,” season-opening victory on Bergeron said. “I block for Sept. 3. them. They block for me.

We’re one group.” PJP II coach Philip Pigott said Bergeron embraced his spot at one of the most important parts of the Jaguars’ Wing-T offense. “He took the reins at fullback after (Dominik Smith) graduated and didn’t look back,” Pigott said. Bergeron put the Jaguars in front to cap off the game’s opening drive. Facing ﬁrstand-goal at the 3, Bergeron ran in for a touchdown just ﬁve minutes into the game. Thomas Jefferson (0-1) answered on the next drive with a 9-yard touchdown pass from Vincent Wypysz-

inski to Charles Turner to tie the score. PJP II (1-0) then reeled off the next 55 points to secure a convincing victory. “The key to our game was really our play calls,” Bergeron said. “I gotta owe it to coach (Jeremy Turcotte). He was scheming up their defensive line. It worked really well with our play calls.” The offensive onslaught started when Jack Roniger scored from 30 yards out, and Bergeron converted on the two-point conversion for a 15-7 lead with 4:11 left. Bergeron tallied the next

two touchdowns on a pair of 57-yard runs that made it 29-7 with 8:09 left in the first half. The Jaguars put the game away with three touchdowns over the final 3:11 of the first half that started with Cole McGhee’s 21-yard scoring run. Then, PJP II’s special teams came up big as Roniger set up the next TD by blocking a punt that Brody Geraci recovered. Bergeron scored his fourth TD — one from 9 yards out for a 43-7 lead. Thomas Jefferson fumbled the ensuing kickoff,

and Landyn Hornberger recovered for PJP. Sophomore Gage Trainor scored on a 17-yard run to set the 50-7 halftime lead that triggered a running clock for the second half. In the second half, Brayden Mitchell scored on a 29-yard run, while Mason Nguyen set the final score with his 20-yard TD run. “We had some nerves to it since we had the cancellation of the scrimmage, but we were just ready to play,” Bergeron said. “We were ready to hit somebody.” The Jaguars will host Pine on Sept. 11.

Hannan racks up 301 yards rushing in 56-0 rout of NCS BY JASON RUSSELL

A three-and-out for NCS gave Hannan the ball at its own 41-yard line; the Hawks capitalized with Riley Jones’ 11-yard TD run. After another three-and-out for the Wolverines, Smith took a handoff on the first play and sprinted past the NCS defense for an 89yard score, putting Hannan up 21-0 with 4:25 left in the first. Hannan added four more firsthalf TDs to take a 49-0 lead into intermission and trigger a running clock for the final half of the second quarter and the entire second half. Hannan backup running back Ryan Mapes accounted for the final TD in the fourth quarter. “This game was here to build our confidence,” Smith said. “We came to demonstrate what we can do throughout this season and keep this energy.”

Hannan rushed for 301 yards and had five different players score, as the Hawks cruised to a 56-0 shutout victory at Northlake Christian on Sept. 4. “I thought we did a good job of coming out and capitalizing on things,” Hannan coach Steve Soper said. “It’s always good to start the season 1-0.” Hannan sophomore Braylon Smith rushed for 135 yards and two touchdowns, while Riley Jones had two TDs of his own, rolling up 80 yards on the ground. Smith said he was happy to get the chance to show off his skills. “I like contact, but the open field is kind of my specialty,” he said. “When I get out there, I just try not to get caught.” Smith said it’s a luxury to have a defense that can shut out an opponent. “The defense brings a fire to the team, and we couldn’t do it without them,” he said. Soper credited the offensive line for leading the way for the running game. “That opens up a bunch of possibilities, and it’s always easy to run the ball when the five guys up front play great, and you already are a few yards downfield before the back even touches the ball,” he said. Soper also heaped praise on his defense, which also shut out Country Day in the jamboree. “We knew we were going to have a good defense coming into the year, but they are playing extremely well,” he said. Northlake never got anything going offensively, managing a nega-

NORTHSHORE 47, LUTCHER 35: The Panthers’ running game was simply dominant as Northshore took a four-score lead and held on for a road victory over a state quarterﬁnal team. Panthers junior running back Justus Carlton stole the show racking up 215 yards rushing on 28 carries, including touchdown runs of 1, 7 and 4 yards. Carlton scored the game’s ﬁrst TD before the Bulldogs tied it up at 7. Then, Northshore reeled off 28 straight points. Miller Wadleigh (7 carries, 61 yards) scored on a 2-yard run, and Carlton added a 7-yard TD run for a 21-7 halftime lead. The Panthers (1-0) opened

the second half with a score as Brayden Martin hauled in a 4-yard TD pass from JJ Gonzales for a 28-7 lead. On the ensuing kickoff, Braedin Hopkins recovered the short squib kick, and sophomore A.J. Bright hauled in a 32-yard TD reception on third down. Bright made a weaving catch and run as he broke several tackles to push the lead to 35-7. But Lutcher (0-1) started to chip away as the Bulldogs scored back-to-back TDs. Northshore stymied the momentum with Carlton’s third score, this time from 4 yards out for a 41-21 lead. The home team reeled off 14 straight points to cut the lead to 4135 with 4:32 remaining. The Panthers (1-0) recovered the onside kick and marched 58 yards in 11 plays to seal the victory as Carlton carried the ball on the first nine plays of the drive. On the fourth and goal from the 1, Gonzales, who threw for 149 yards on 13-of-22 passing with two TDs and an interception, walked into the end zone to ice the game as Northshore finished with 468 yards of offense. “Overall, I was very pleased with the majority of the game,” Northshore coach Bobby Sanders said. “The big thing that we wanted to do was sustain drives and keep their offense off the field. And we wanted to play a little tempo to try to wear them

down a bit. Now, we have to work on not letting the scoreboard affect how we play. I’m happy we got the win, but there is a lot to work on.” PEARL RIVER CENTRAL (MISS.) 42, PEARL RIVER 28: The Blue Devils recovered two straight fumbled kickoffs and then picked off passes on back-toback possessions to put the game away before halftime. The Blue Devils drove nine plays on the opening possession and scored on a 2-yard Brayden Fowler run for a 7-0 lead. The Rebels responded with an 8-play, 70-yard drive, capped by a 4-yard Andrew Sikes TD run to tie the game. Then, Pearl River Central (1-0) took over with a 35-point second quarter. The scoring started with a 6-yard TD pass from Titus Feaster to Terrell Wilkes for a 14-7 lead. The Blue Devils then forced four straight turnovers to build a 42-7 halftime advantage. The scores during that span came on a 2-yard run by Kylen Egana, a 17-yard run by Caden Hinton, a 2-yard TD catch by Ayden Radosta and a 2-yard reception by Kendall Morrison. The Rebels (0-1) did manage three touchdowns in the second half, as Kendrick Lee scored on runs of 4 and 12 yards, as well as a 33-yard TD pass from Romy Berel to Davyn Keicher. SLIDELL 17, HOLY CROSS 14: See story, Page 1B.

Covington’s last touchdown was a 17yard pass from O’Keefe to offensive lineman Davion Brister, who was open in the corner of the end zone. O’Keefe completed 5 of 12 passes for 68 yards and two TDs. After struggling to contain De La Salle in the first half, Covington’s defense delivered down the stretch. Lions senior linebacker Derrick Dunbar came up with a sack that pinned De La Salle deep in its own territory on its final drive, resulting in a turnover on downs. “Our defense made some key stops when we needed them to,” Salter said. “Derrick (Dunbar) is a playmaker. He has the potential to be a special football player, not just here but at the next level.” Williams had a strong night on the ground for De La Salle, finishing with 101 yards on 13 carries. Valentine, a junior, completed 14 of 20 passes for 158 yards and three touchdowns. Valentine’s first touchdown pass went to Williams, and sophomore Josiah Joseph caught a 24-yard touchdown to put De La Salle up 12-0. Senior Garen Lewis caught a 37-yard touchdown to give the Cavaliers an eight-point lead at halftime. “We got off to a good start, but very sloppy from about the second quarter on,” De La Salle coach Chad Mahaffey said. “My job is to help get them ready to finish the game, and we’ll continue to work on that.” Covington (1-0) will travel to Franklinton on Thursday, Sept. 10.

Covington trailed De La Salle for the entirety of its Week 1 matchup until running back Ronald Encalade broke free for a 33yard touchdown run. Encalade’s run tied the game with 4:21 to go in the third quarter, and Covington seized the momentum from that point. The Lions scored two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter of a 38-24 comeback win over De La Salle at Muss Bertolino Stadium in Kenner on Sept. 3. De La Salle led by as many as 14 points after senior running back Eamon Williams ran in a 3-yard touchdown for the first points of the second half. Covington then scored 28 unanswered points, leaning on its power run formation in the second half. “(De La Salle) hit us in the mouth at the start,” Covington coach Greg Salter said. “Our kids continued to fight and kept themselves in the game. We put in our short-yardage package just to see what would happen on first down, and we decided to stay in it until (De La Salle) stopped it.” Encalade and Covington senior Rodney Clark combined for 166 rushing yards. A junior, Encalade’s first touchdown run was from 13 yards out, capping off a 22-yard drive that started in De La Salle territory after the Cavaliers muffed a punt.

St. Paul’s falls behind early in 35-14 loss at Destrehan

BY SPENCER URQUHART Staff writer

Things were looking promising for St. Paul’s at Wildcat Stadium on Sept. 4. The Wolves recovered a fumble on the opening drive, but Destrehan took control after that. Senior running back Malachi Dabney set the tone by racking up 76 rushing yards on Destrehan’s next drive, a 10-play, 90-yard scoring match that was capped off with a 1-yard touchdown by Dabney to give the Wildcats an early lead. A Nicholls commitment, Dabney finished with 158 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 17 carries as the Wildcats earned a 35-14 win in front of a lively home crowd at Destrehan. “(Our) kids came out and executed after the (fumble),” Destrehan coach Mar-

cus Scott said. “Malachi is consistent. He’s a special talent, a consistent player. He’s always a leader for us.” Destrehan’s next score was a quick-strike touchdown pass to senior Jordan Zeringue, who caught a short pass over the middle from Wildcats quarterback A’usahi Smith and took it 58 yards to the end zone. Destrehan was up by two touchdowns at the end of the first quarter and extended its lead to 21 points after Dabney found the end zone for a second time from 6 yards out. A fourth Destrehan touchdown gave the Wildcats a commanding 28-0 lead when senior Jaylan Ash caught a 37-yard touchdown from Landyn Dugas on a trick play. “We probably had about seven or eight kids touch the ball tonight,” Scott said. “That’s the key to us being

HALM

able to move the ball effectively.” St. Paul’s scored a touchdown before halftime to cut the lead to 21 when senior Daniel Harty caught a 20yard touchdown pass from QB Jack Henry Seal. A junior, Seal made his ﬁrst start for St. Paul’s and completed 15 of 33 passes for 148 yards and two touchdowns. Both touchdowns went to Harty, who caught four passes for 72 yards. “(Destrehan) proved they were the better team tonight,” St. Paul’s coach Joshua Gast said. “They outplayed us in all aspects, but I like that my guys fought until the end. That’s (Seal’s) ﬁrst start in a hostile environment, so I’m proud of him for standing in there.” The Wildcats went back up by 28 points in the third quarter after senior running back Tony Crump found the

end zone from 7 yards out. Smith completed 8 of 12 passes for 130 yards and added 42 yards rushing on seven carries. Ash led Destrehan in receiving with ﬁve catches for 81 yards. “We fought hard as a team, but the second half was a little shaky,” Smith said. “I’ve been working with (Ash) since the summer, so the connection is there.” St. Paul’s (0-1) will host Brother Martin on Sept. 11.

1 | Mandeville | 1-0 (Last week: 1) This week: vs. Bonnabel Mandeville showed a lot of toughness in its 35-17 victory at Salmen. The Skippers lost leading receiver Jake Jacketti for the year during the jamboree. They lost sophomore running back Creshaun McCollum when he aggravated an injury during the game. Even starting QB Krew Collura was battling a shoulder injury. It didn’t matter as the Skippers earned a gritty win over a very good Salmen team. Mandeville is for real; now, let’s see if they can get healthy before district play. 2 | Salmen | 0-1 (Last week: 2) This week: at Live Oak The 18-point defeat doesn’t tell the whole story against Mandeville. The Spartans led in the third quarter and honestly could have been tied at halftime. While the result wasn’t what Salmen wanted, the competition will make them a better team in the long run. Depth remains an issue, but the talent is there especially when they face other 4A teams. 3 | Covington | 1-0 (Last week: 3) This week: at Franklinton (Thu.) Last week’s victory over De La Salle was a statement win of sorts for the Lions, who trailed by as many as 14 points in the game. Then, Covington turned to its run game to score 28 unanswered points. They got punched in the mouth and responded by punching back and getting the win. After a lackluster jamboree, it was exactly what Coach Greg Salter needed to see to start the season. 4 | Northshore | 1-0 (Last week: 5) This week: vs. De La Salle The Panthers scored 47 points and racked up 468 yards against a state quarterﬁnalist — FORTY SEVEN. That was the start to the season that Coach Bobby Sanders wanted to see. And just so the team can’t get too high on itself, they needed a late fourth-quarter drive to put the game away. It was everything the Panthers needed in a Week 1 test, including a quality victory. Now, they come home with a ton of momentum to face a good De La Salle team. 5 | Slidell | 1-0 (Last week: NR) This week: vs. Lakeshore Slidell knocking off Holy Cross is a big win for the Tigers, but I’m not surprised by it. What’s impressive is that the Tigers forced three turnovers, including a picksix on the ﬁrst play from scrimmage. Coming into this season, it looked like the offense would lead the way, and I still think that will be the case. But if Slidell gets defensive play like this all season, the sky is the limit. On the fringe: St. Paul’s

Lakeshore junior running back Izzy Reimonenq wasn’t sure he was going to play at all against Fontainebleau in the season opener at the Titan Coliseum on Sept. 4. He wasn’t even on some of the varsity rosters going into the season opener. But he made sure everyone remembered him with a 9-carry, 125-yard night with two touchdowns. Coupled with Titans senior quarterback Brody Loudermilk’s 138 total offensive yards and three touchdowns, Lakeshore overwhelmed the Bulldogs for a 35-14 victory. “Izzy is a kid we worked with for a long time,” Lakeshore ﬁrstyear coach Hunter Bonvillain said. “It’s taken a long time to get to this point. He wasn’t expecting to probably play tonight. He deserved to have a night like this. I hope he gets in more moving forward.” Reimonenq said he missed some summer workouts and had to work his way back into playing contention, but he was thrilled to get the opportunity to play and make an impact against the Bulldogs. He took his first carry for 48 yards and later scored touchdowns of 41 and 9 yards. “I didn’t come to a lot of summer workouts. But I showed up and did what I had to do (tonight). I just played what I saw,” he said. Loudermilk orchestrated a versatile Titans running game, adding 108 rushing yards on 11 carries and some advice for the head coach on fourth down. “My ﬁrst rushing touchdown, we were on the goal line, and I was like, I think we should do this and it was me running the ball,” Loudermilk said. “He called it, and I dive in, and I get a touchdown out of it.”

with 8:36 left in the first half tied the score at 7. Loudermilk retaliated by leading a 5-play, 61-yard drive that was capped with a 4-yard touchdown run up the middle to retake the lead. Jackson Schemmel connected on the kick for a 14-7 Lakeshore lead with 5:53 left to halftime. The Bulldogs scored late in the game after trailing most of the second half by more than two scores. Junior RB Landon Suhre scored on a 54-yard run with 3:59 left. But it wasn’t nearly enough to overtake Lakeshore. “Beating Fontainebleau means a lot to everyone at this school and Coach Hunter,” Loudermilk said. “It’s his first head coaching job, it’s his first head coaching win, and it’s against Fontainebleau. The lineman caught him with the water bucket. It’s a big thing for Coach Hunter and everyone here.” SCORE BY QUARTERS FONTAINEBLEAU | 0 | 7 | 0 | 7 — 14 LAKESHORE | 7 | 7 | 14 | 7 — 35

Lakeshore junior RB Izzy Reimonenq ran for 125 yards and 2 TDs against Fontainebleau on Sept. 4. Bonvillain added: “Brody’s just the type of kid – he doesn’t say much, but when he does, you listen. There were a couple times he came up to me and said, hey coach, I think this would work pretty good. I was like, okay, sounds good.” Loudermilk scored rushing touchdowns of 4 and 41 yards. He set the tone early when he tossed a 30-yard touchdown pass to Alexander Addison on a fourth-down play. “He’s a competitor,” Bonvillain said. “He wants the ball in his hands every chance he gets.”

Fontainebleau struggled with penalties, committing 10 for 70 yards. Bulldogs’ coach Chris Womack said it felt like 100 yards. “Penalties killed us,” he said. “We shot ourselves in the foot. We missed assignments on offense and defense. We have to go back to the drawing board and make sure (we) improve. I think we were playing with effort; we just missed some assignments and did some things wrong.” The Bulldogs were led by junior running back Sheldon Asmore, who had 15 carries for 81 yards. His 17-yard touchdown scamper

Slidell’s ‘brand-new varsity group’ earns season-opening sweep BY CHRIS KINKAID Contributing writer

Slidell first-year volleyball coach Logan Lockard was honest about the on-court experience returning to the two-time defending state champions this season. “If I remember correctly, being a new coach, we should have only three returners,” Lockard said. “We have some players who were rostered and practiced with varsity, but this is realistically a brand-new varsity group.” Despite that overall inexperience on the court, the Tigers used a plethora of contributors to earn a 25-20, 25-15, 25-12 season-opening road victory over Lakeshore on Sept. 1. “We ended up playing (Lakeshore) in our jamboree, so this is the second time we’ve played them with our actual lineup,” said Slidell junior outside hitter Chloe Ray (8 kills, 8 digs, 2 aces). “We were struggling at the beginning to find our rhythm, but we came together as a team and really tried to dominate.” Lakeshore scored the match’s first point before Slidell ran off five in a row. The Tigers went up 8-4, but Lakeshore came back with three straight, capped off by Kristin Rault’s block to make it 8-7. The see-saw first set continued as Slidell scored four straight only to have Lakeshore battle back and tie PHOTO BY HERB GOMEZ the set at 16-16. After being knotted Slidell senior Emma Pippenger serves up an ace against Lakeshore up at 18-18, the Tigers scored four unanswered points as junior Jasira on Sept. 1.

Banks’ kill made it 22-18. Banks added the final exclamation point with the final kill in a 25-20 victory. Lakeshore started the second set by scoring five of the first seven points, but Slidell senior Emma Pippenger’s thunderous kill stymied the Titans’ momentum. Pippenger finished with 11 digs, 10 kills and 5 aces. Banks put the Tigers ahead 7-6, and Grace Chawki (9 kills, 3 aces, 3 digs) followed with an ace. Slidell did not trail again en route to a 2515 win. Lakeshore coach Darrin Loup said the second set was pivotal. “They broke our spirit, and we never did regain our composure, our energy,” Loup said. “At least, that’s the way it looked to me. We’re still trying to determine who our leaders are on the team; fighting through games like this, it should organically happen. Who’s going to take control of what’s happening on the court?” Slidell (1-0) cruised in the third set as runs of 5-1 and 4-1 gave the Tigers an early 9-4 lead en route to a 25-12 victory. “We definitely started strong; we had good energy, and we definitely got exposed in places where we need to work on serve/receive and just playing smart in general,” Rault said. For Lakeshore (0-1), Maddi Peneguy tallied 11 digs and an ace, while Zoey Randolph posted six kills. Rault finished with four digs, two blocks and a kill.
