HAMMOND, La. – Round 2 of the Class 3A playoffs continued Saturday at Southeastern Louisiana University with the 6th seeded Jewel Sumner Cowboys facing the 11th seeded Jena Giants.
Long story short, it was a defensive struggle from start to finish.
The Jena Giants would get on the board in the second quarter thanks to a 15-yard touchdown run from Brennan Deville. Quarterback Jordan Jackson would score on the 2-point conversion attempt to make it 8-0.
From there, the defenses were on their A-games.
Sumner’s defensive unit had multiple goal line stands in the fourth quarter, giving their offense a chance to go the length of the field with one minute remaining in the ballgame.
Those hopes would die the second play of their final drive on a Giants interception, sealing the win for Jena.
Jena defeated Jewel Sumner, 8-0.
