Huntington has played a physical style of football and has had some productive nights offensively in its first season in District 1-5A.

Class 2A powerhouse Calvary has won its last two contests against 1-5A teams, last year against Byrd and Captain Shreve.

The Cavs will counter the Raiders’ rugged approach tonight at Independence Stadium with a versatile and explosive offense featuring the senior pass-catch combination of Abram Wardell and Kolby Thomas. Standout senior running back James Simon sat out last week’s 24-15 win at Union Parish with an injury, but senior defensive back and backup Julius Moss stepped up with 113 rushing yards including three scoring runs.

The top contest in District 1-4A is at Loyola, which celebrates homecoming with a visit from a dangerous Booker T. Washington club.
