Oakdale coming off a Homecoming win against Rosepine rode a wave of confidence into Many to face the number one ranked team in the State and scored on its opening possession. But the tide was turned as Many capitalized on Oakdale's costly mistakes, and the Warriors left town with a blemish on its record after losing 68-19.
"To beat the number one (team) you have to play mistake free football, and we did not do that Friday night," said Randall Gordon. "We came out prepared and ready to play, but we had too many mistakes and turnovers which made the point deficit too large to overcome. We struck first and put Many on their heels a little bit early, but every time we would get something going we made a costly mistake."
The Warrior offense found some efficiency through the air as Slate Jordan completed 11 of 28 passes for 236 yards and threw for three touchdowns. He connected with James Evins on a 33-yard pass reception for a touchdown to begin the game and capped off back-to-back scoring drives in the second quarter with touchdowns to Terrance Holmes. Along with their scores, Evins hauled in 106 yards on four completions, and Holmes hauled in 77 yards on three completions. Derrick Winnfield got in on the act catching three balls for 46 yards.
"We knew what to expect from their defense and we exploited a couple weaknesses for some first downs and even touchdowns, said Gordon. "The passing game was our best shot, and we found some holes."
The other side of the ball was not as efficient as the Warrior defense had the tall order of going against an offense that Gordon describes as, "like none other we see and they run it fast." He went on to say, "We were able to stop them a few times, but they were able to bust a couple big plays early to get ahead enough to get comfortable. Then they really started to move the chains."
"We will have to learn from this game and be ready for the next week and the next challenge which is the Bunkie Panthers for Senior Night in Oakdale," Gordon said. "We believe that if we win the next two games it is a good possibility for a home playoff game in the first round of the playoffs."

Oakdale looking toward Many
Oakdale improved its overall record to 3-4 and even up its district record at a game a piece with a dominating 45-0 win over Rosepine in Week Six. The Warriors are sitting tied with Menard for third place in District 3-2A behind co-divisional leaders Many and Pickering and will travel to face undefeated Many Friday night.
"We are thrilled to be traveling to the number one team in 2A this year," said Oakdale's coach Randall Gordon. "Many is 7-0 and are number one in the Class 2A non-select power rankings. We are excited about the challenge to to show what we can do against one of the best teams in the state."
The challenge facing Gordon's Warriors is stopping the Many running game. The lead dog is junior running back AJ Carter with his 832 yards and 14 touchdowns on the season. He averages 8.4 yards per gain and 138.7 yards per game. Gordan said of the challenge, "The majority of our (players )have played in that atmosphere and know exactly what to expect so hopefully the new guys will be ready for the challenge."
Defensively Many features blitzes and slants what Gordon calls "unorthodox." He goes on to say, "It will cause chaos if you let it. We hope to neutralized the confusing fronts and blitzes and find the open holes."
"They are sitting where we want to be," said Gordon. "We will be ready to play come Friday."

Homecoming night in Oakdale
As alumni gathered at Curtis J. Cook Memorial Field for homecoming, the Oakdale offense exploded for six touchdowns in the first half en route to defeating Rosepine 45-0.
The game featured a balanced attack for 423 yards of total offense as the Warriors gained 212 yards on the ground on 28 attempts for two touchdowns and gained 211 yards through the air for three touchdowns. "It was a great effort in the first half, and the second half was mostly played by the second team group who was also able to move the ball against the Rosepine varsity," said Randall Gordon of his offense.
"Friday was a great day for the Warrior Nation on a beautiful homecoming day," added Gordon. "Being a graduate of Oakdale High School (Class of 1995), Homecoming means a lot to me because I am proud of my alma mater, and I want all our alumni to see how great our school is growing to be. We came out fast like we talked about all week to not give any hope or confidence to the visiting Eagles. We struck quick and on big plays to score 20 points in the first quarter and continued with 23 in the second quarter."
Running back James Evins reached the century mark in rushing yards on 10 carries and added a touchdown. His touchdown came on the opening drive of the game on a 39 yard carry. Fellow running back Miliak Hayward rushed for 66 yards on three carries and also contributed a touchdown. With just under two minutes remaining in the first quarter, he escaped traffic and cut downfield 60 yards for a Warrior touchdown.
Aerially the offense was propelled by Slate Jordan who went five for seven in passing and threw for 187 yards with three touchdowns. Two of Jordan's touchdown completions went to Terrance Holmes. The first of which came on a play action pass for 64 yards, and the latter came as Jordan found a wide open Holmes deep downfield for a 28 yard touchdown completion.
On defense Gordan described his team's performance as "dominant." He said, "The defense had a safety and held the Rosepine defense to under 100 yards rushing and only one yard passing. Rosepine rushed for the bulk of their 92 yards rushing on the second play on offense where they broke a long run. After we settled in we did an excellent job of stopping their offense."
Highlighting the defensive was Terrance Holmes who intercepted and returned the football 22 yards for a touchdown. Oakdale was then up 43-0 with 2:56 before the half. The second half scoring came as a punt was blocked in the end zone for another Warrior safety.
"It is always good to see alumni come home and look around and see that the Warrior Pride Never Dies," said Gordan. "It is always good to end the game by kneeling the football in the victory formation."

Kinder at Mamou
Mamou knew going in it would be a challenge Thursday night as it hosted the defending State Champion Kinder Yellow Jackets. The challenge proved insurmountable for the Demons as they fell 63-7.
Defensive lineman Kade Chatelain was out which made the game more challenging. According to his coach Brian Brumfield, "It hurt us as for as his experience because he's been playing for us for three years now."
Brumfield thought for the most part that his team did OK, but "It's just that we got to be able to play a whole football game." He went on to say, "We came out, and I thought we played well. We were able to have a few plays. They had a good defensive stand or defensive series against us, but we were able to get a few plays and get into the end zone."
Mamou's lone scoring drive came with Brumfield's team down 28-0 in the second quarter. Shawn Malveaux gained six yards to begin the drive and then received a pass from Levi Fontenot short of the first down marker. Mamou was forced to punt for the fourth time, but a 15-yard penalty for Roughing the Kicker resulted in a first down for the Mamou offense on the 26 yard line. Then on second-and-nine, Fontenot completed a pass to Joab Perron who rushed down the left side of the field for a Demon touchdown. Ahmad Guillian's kick was up and good as Kinder led 28-7 with 4:32 before the half.
On the other side of the ball, Brumfield said they also played OK. "We slowed them down enough to where we gave ourselves a chance to be in the football game," he stated. "But when we came out in the second half, we can't have the three big plays back-to-back-to-back."
Kinder opened the second half on a 65 yard kickoff return for a touchdown from Leonard Williams to go up 35-7. Kinder on the next series recovered a Mamou fumble and had a first-and-goal situation from the nine yard line. The series resulted in another Yellow Jacket touchdown. Mamou then turned the ball over on downs on its next possession giving Kinder possession on the 45-yard line to close out the third quarter. The quarterback ran a keeper down to the two yard line from where Taylor Johnson took it the rest of the way for the score.
Brumfield said of the kickoff, the fumble, and the long run, "That's something we cannot do. I think that was the turning point, and from that point on our kids kind of lost a little faith. They kept playing hard, but they lost a little faith and a little hope."
Next week Mamou squares off against Welsh who Brumfield believes is probably just as good as Kinder and is going to be a very tough opponent for his Demon team. Mamou then closes out the season with games on the road against the very athletic DeQuincy and against Vinton. According to Brumfield, "So we got opportunities to win the last three if we come out and play."

Pickering outlasts Oakdale
The Oakdale Warriors began district play with a bang Friday night. The game featured strong physical play and big defensive stands, but Oakdale drew the short end of the stick as it lost to Pickering 30-13 and saw its record fall to 2-4.
The first half was dominated by the Pickering offense. Leading the assault was Cody Williams who scored three before intermission. He scored his first on the receiving end of a nine yard option pass at the 2:55 mark of the first quarter.
Nine minutes and change into the second quarter, he ran 45 yards down the left side for his second touchdown. On the next Red Devil possession, Williams ran into and out of traffic as he scored his third touchdown of the night. Pickering led 18-0 with just over 40 seconds remaining before the half.
The ensuing kick off went out of bounds, and Oakdale took over at the 35 yard line. On second down and ten, Slate Jordan's pass was complete to Derrick Winfield as the Warriors crossed the 50 yard line. Jordan's next pass was complete to Terrnance Holmes downfield for a 21 yard gain. James Evins then lumbered downfield on a draw play all way to the six yard line. Nick Doyle on the first snap after a roughing the passer penalty ran across the goal line for the touchdown. At the half Pickering led 18-6.
"We had a slow start on offense before we had to up the tempo before the half ran out," said coach Randal Gordon. "We went (into a) two minute offense before half, and it seemed to tire Pickering out and rejuvenate our guys. We went in the lockeroom with a little more confidence."
Pickering's Marcus Hill fielded the second half kickoff and returned it into Warrior territory at the 49 yard line. Williams on back-to-back rushes picked up enough for a first down at the 34 yard line. After a one yard loss, Williams ran for 30 yards inside the 10 yard line for first and goal. On fourth and goal from the shadow of the goal line, the Oakdale defense held as it turned away a quarterback sneak and forced a turnover on downs.
"The second half we kept the momentum going ... as our defense made one of the best goal line stands I have ever seen from a Warrior defense in Curtis T. Cook Stadium," said Gordon.
Later on in the third quarter, the Oakdale defense snuffed out a fake field goal attempt giving the offense the ball at the 28 yard line. A pass was complete to Doyle who scampered across the 50 to the 47 yard line. Jordon kept the ball and stayed on his feet as he runs down the left side for 12 yards before completing a pass to Holmes for a 12 yard gain and another Warrior 1st down. On second and goal, Jordon was in the end zone on a quarterback keeper. Oakdale was then down 18-13 with 1:24 in the third quarter.
Williams added two touchdowns for Pickering in the second half to preserve the win. He finished the night with five touchdowns and rushed for 236 yards on 28 carries.
Oakdale now turns its attention to Rosepine on Homecoming Night. According to Gordon, Rosepine "will give us problems if we are not prepared or focused on the game." He added, "Rosepine has a big front and runs a shotgun offense. They a have a few play makers that we will have to contain in order to have success. Their defense does some unusual things up front and plays a deep coverage over the top to not get beat deep. We will have to be patient in order to have success against the Eagles on Friday night."

Oakdale looks to derail Pickering's playoff chances
The 4-1 Red Devils of
Pickering came into the 2016 season saying
"this is their year to go to the dome.” The Warriors of Oakdale
with a record of 2-3 host Pickering in the opening matchup of district play and
look to derail their opponent's playoff chances.
In doing so Oakdale
will have to contain a team led by back-up field general Jordan Dowden pinch
hitting for the injured Patrick Hinson. "Dowden ran the offense well, and
their offense has not missed a beat without Hinson at quarterback," said
Oakdale coach Randall Gordon of Pickering's offense.
The change in
quarterback has not affected the offense that runs the ball about 86 percent of
the time. Leading the way in rushing is senior running back Codie Williams who
gained 139 yards on 32 carries with two touchdowns in the 26-15 win last week
against Mangham.
Williams runs behind
an offensive line that Gordon calls "massive" with 6-foot 3-inch
255-pound Azavier Carter and 6-foot
2-inch 275-pound Austin Talley. "They will be the largest offensive line
we have seen this season," said Gordon. "(Carter and Talley) are the
two large tackles that do a great job on both sides of the ball."
Oakdale comes into the
matchup after hitting its stride in a 52-13 win at Mamou last week. Leading the
way on offense were James Evins with his 14 carries for 192 yards and 5
touchdowns and Terrance Holmes with his five catches for 122 yards and a
touchdown Defensively the Warriors were led by Jonathan Johnson and Holmes who
each returned a turnover for a touchdown.
"Overall it was
good night for our Warriors and hopefully it sparked a little confidence to
carry over as we start district play next week," said Gordon. "We
have to clean up penalties and fumbles as we host Pickering in our first
district game Friday."
The two teams square
off at 7:00 PM Friday night in the annual pink out game to begin breast cancer
awareness month.
Oakdale rushes past Mamou
James Evins scored five touchdowns Thursday night propelling Oakdale to notch its second tally under the Win column. He added 192 yards on 14 carries as his team defeated Mamou 52-13.
"Evins is one of our best players, and tonight he kinda showed it," said coach Randall Gordon of his senior running back. "We've been struggling the last three weeks. We had a lot of frustration building, and it felt good to get a win tonight. The win was huge for us tonight."
Evins' first score came on Oakdale's second possession of the night. The punt from Judd Wilkinson rolled down to the Oakdale 21 yard line. Evins took the ball from scrimmage and ran 79 yards down field for the early touchdown. Oakdale led 7-0 with 6:37 on the clock in the first quarter.
Mamou tied the game at seven on its next possession and forced Oakdale to go three-and-out getting a shut down inning. The Demons regained possession at the 25 yard line and marched downfield looking to take the lead. However the football was batted away and recovered by Jonathan Johnson on the Demon five yard line for first and goal. Evins on the next play ran into the end zone for his second touchdown of the night. After a missed extra point, the Warriors led 13-7.
The first half ended on Evins' third score of the night. The drive began with a toss pass complete to Evins for a gain of three yards. Terrance Holmes received the pass at the 15 yard line for a gain of 23 yards. Evins fumbled but was marked down by contact at the Demon five yard line for first and goal then ran it in for the score. At the half Oakdale led 19-7.
"We made a few adjustments at half, and our kids started playing a little harder," said Gordon. "They got a little more confidence in one another and started playing a little better."
Both teams jockeyed for position in the third quarter, but neither team could break through as their drives stalled on either penalties or turnovers. Late in the third quarter Oakdale capitalized on a Mamou punt that went a total of two yards. The Warriors got the ball following at the ten yard line, and Evins on back-to-back gains of five yards crossed the goal line for his fourth touchdown. After another unsuccessful two point conversion attempt, Oakdale led 25-7 with under minute left on the third quarter clock.
Mamou scored on a 56-yard kick off return from Jaylen Griffith to cut into the Warrior lead. Following a block in the back penalty, the ball rested at the 16 yard line. Evins then took a dive run and went 84 yards for his fifth touchdown in the game. The kick was good as Oakdale now led 32-13 as the third quarter came to a close.
It was all Terrance Holmes in the final quarter as the senior provided a score on both sides of the ball. His first score came as a wide receiver on a 13 yard pass reception in the end zone, and his second came as free safety. He intercepted the pass from Levi Fontenot and returned it for 49 yards and the score. Oakdale led 45-13 with 8:39 remaining in the game and went on to return a fumble recovery for the final score.
Oakdale now turns its attention to district play as it hosts Pickering Friday night. "We have a tough district," said Gordon. "We have Many, Menard, Rosepine, Bunkie, and no game is gonna be easy. Everytime we play it's gonna be somebody pretty good. We gotta play hard, and this game tonight gives us a little confidence going in."
"Evins is one of our best players, and tonight he kinda showed it," said coach Randall Gordon of his senior running back. "We've been struggling the last three weeks. We had a lot of frustration building, and it felt good to get a win tonight. The win was huge for us tonight."
