Welsh let the dogs out against Mamou

            A greyhound dog can reach speeds of 43 MPH and is the second fastest land animal behind the cheetah that reaches speeds of up to 75 MPH. A greyhound bus weighs in the ballpark of 11 tons. The force of one of these buses is approximately 605,000 newtons. The greyhounds of Welsh used the speed and force of their namesakes and opened up a big can of Alpo raking up 55 points against Mamou Friday night.

            Mamou coach Brian Brumfield stated after the game… “Tonight was about speed and strength. Welsh is a very physical ball club. They’re strong, and they’re fast. I told our players that this is a type of game we have to get better at. We have to hit the weight room hard. We’re gonna gave to be able to a great offseason to maybe be able to play with a caliber team like this.”

            Welsh scored early and often beginning with its opening possession on the evening. After Mamou went 3-and-out, Hayden Freeland completed a pass to Garrick Gray for a 50-yard touchdown.

            Mamou appeared to respond on the next series. Kendal Jack returned the kickoff to the Mamou 22-yard line. Robbie Deshotels on 3^rd down launched a pass to Daniel Matthews causing the ball to rest on the Welsh 33-yard line. Again on 3^rd down, Deshotels launched a pass to Jacob Israel bringing up 1^st and goal on the Welsh 5- yard line. Deshotels’ next pass was intercepted by John Simon, who returned the interception all the way for a touchdown. Welsh went up 14 points on the Green Demons.

            The Green Demons went 3-and-out on the subsequent possession. Welsh scored on its next set of downs on a pass complete from Freeland to Brandius Batiste in the corner of the end zone. This scene of Mamou going 3-and-out and Welsh scoring a touchdown was repeated 4 times before halftime. Welsh scored on back-to-back touchdown completions to Batiste, a 5-yard run on the feet of Kyvonte Eaglin, a pitch back to Keshon Bell, and another run on the feet of Eaglin.

            Welsh received the 2^nd half kickoff and possessed the football for nearly 9 minutes of the 3^rd quarter. Welsh called off the dogs for most of the 2^nd half and scored a final time in the waning moments of the game bringing the game to the final score of 55-0.
