With 4:43 left to play in the game Menard would score his fourth rushing touchdown of the game, an 11 yard run, bringing the final score to 34-0. The defense would keep their shutout intact, taking the ball back on downs. Orangefield would get the ball back on a fumble, but Tyler Roberts would make sure the shutout stood, when he picked off a pass late in the game. Bridge City would run out the clock for the victory. Matt Menard had another huge day with 150 yard rushing on 21 carries and 4 touchdown. He was also 6 for 10 in the passing department for 68 yards. Hunter Clark had 174 yard rushing on

11 totes and a touchdown. Ashton Hunter had 16 yards on 4 carries, and Tyler Robert had 1 carry for 5 yards. In the receiving department, Tanner Cervenka had three catches for 32 yards. Cameron Dishon had 2 catches for 29 yards and Roberts had 1 catch for 7 yards. There are a lot of teams that don’t make it to the playoffs. Let take advantage of this time and back our Cardinals. It was another great day to watch great high school football, the best band and cheerleaders in the area, and how about those STRUTTERS.

fourth and long play, the ‘Cats kicked the ball. On the first play for the cards, Menard carried the ball for a gain of seven yards. On the second and three play Menard handed the ball to Hunter Clark. Clark evaded several Bobcat tacklers and made a 55 yard run to the 16 yard line. On the next play Tyler Roberts made a run up the middle and scored. Unfortunately there was a flag on the play. Holding was the call and the ball was brought back to the 40 yard line with 7:40 on the clock. This was only the second penalty of the night and the first for the Cardinals. The Cardinals shook off the penalty and five plays later Menard scored his third touchdown. Daniel Faulk boot the ball across the cross members and the score was 21-0 with 5:21 on the clock. Starting on the 35 yard line the Bobcats fought hard, but were just held back by the Cardinal defense. After eight plays they lost possession and the Cardinals started their play on the 29 yard line. With less than a minute remaining in the quarter, Menard handed the ball to Clark and Clark dashed across the goal for the fourth touchdown. Faulk made his fourth PAT and put the score at 28-0. With 15 seconds of play left in the third quarter, the Bobcats took possession on the 50 yard line. In the beginning of the fourth quarter, Wiley carried the ball for a gain of four yards. Watkins made a first down four plays later. A play later Ackerman completed a pass to Mason Sonnier for a first down. On the first and ten play Jakob Brown made a run to the left side and was blasted by Dylan Sams of the Cardinal defense. The hit was so intense that Brown was taken out for the remainder of the game. Needing 14 yards for a first down and on the Cardinal 36 yard line, Ackerman tried a pass. Hubbard of the Cards tipped the ball away and the Cardinals took over the ball. In seven plays Menard took the ball across the goal from the 11 yard line for his fourth touchdown. The PAT went wide to the right and the score was 34-0 with 4:43 left in the game. On the Bobcats first play after the tackle two exuberant Cardinals jumped together and bumped chests. The officials blew whistles and threw flags and penalized the Cards five yards for the action. After failing to make a first down, the ball went to the Cards. On the third down play the Cards fumbled and the Bobcats recovered. With 56 seconds of play left in the game a pass was intercepted to give the Cardinals possession. The Cardinals let the clock run out and another Bayou Bowl was history with a final score of 34-0, Cardinals.
