Points were hard to come by Friday night as two local teams were shut out and a couple others combined to score only 18 points in road contests. 

Turnovers were among the undoing for Green Oaks’ trip to Alexandria in a 47-0 loss to Peabody that had the Giants throwing three interceptions.  

The Warhorses (3-1) scored 27 points in the second quarter after taking a 7-0 first-quarter lead. The hosts got a couple of passing touchdowns before returning an interception for six and a 19-0 advantage.  

Green Oaks (1-3) failed to convert a fourth down on its own end of the field and Peabody capitalized with its third passing touchdown of the first half.

After another Giants drive stalled, the Warhorses got a long run to set up a short plunge and take a 33-0 score into the locker room. 

Green Oaks was able to settle down in the second half but the three interceptions helped keep the Giants from getting any deeper than the Peabody 43 all night.  

NEVILLE 54, NORTH CADDO 0: At Bill Ruple Stadium in Monroe, the outmanned Titans found a similar fate, falling behind to the Class 4A No. 3 ranked Tigers 14-0 in the first two minutes of the game thanks in part to a fumble return for a score. North Caddo trailed 41-0 by halftime.  

North Caddo falls to 1-3 and will be back home next to face West Ouachita. Neville stays undefeated at 4-0 and will host rival Ruston next Friday.  

RINGGOLD 54, PLAIN DEALING 6: The Redskins left little doubt in the District 1-1A opener for both teams, winning their third game of the year in four outings. The Lions dropped to 0-4, 0-1 and will have to travel to Haynesville (4-0, 1-0) next week. 

HOMER 48, MAGNOLIA 12: The Mariners scored a season high but it wasn’t enough to keep from falling to 0-4, 0-1 in 1-1A. The Pelicans (3-1, 1-0) had their second highest output on the season and will travel to face Ringgold next Friday. Magnolia will host Mansfield next week who will also be looking for its first win of the season.
