Payton Ryan goes 7 wins in 10 days on 2500-mile US Legends Road Trip

Payton Ryan

 

Payton Ryan completed the most successful road trip of his young racing career when he captured 7 wins at the Battle of the Bayou at Revolution Raceway Park in Louisiana and the Battle at the Big Top at the Texas Motor Speedway. Ryan has strong ties to Catahoula Parish and this area, being the grandson of the late Charles “Hub-Nut” King. For Ryan, a Concord, NC resident, it was a return to his home state of Louisiana where he and his family moved from when he was 11. He actually turned his first laps in a Bandolero at the 3/8ths mile track in Monroe, LA. The April 5-7th event was a homecoming for Payton with friends and family attending to cheer on their favorite son. All the Cannon School 8th grader did was go three for three at the concrete oval.

The Jena Lady Giants ready for their quarterfinal match against North Vermilion during the Fast Pitch 56 State Tournament in Sulphur this past weekend – (left to right) Ashley Roy, Jazmine Richardson, Savannah McGuffee, Darian Thacker, Braegan Burlew, Macy Greer, Emilee Howard, Caroline Bailey, Kourtney Bacle, Mackenzie Thompson, Brandy Exline, Kelsey Bradford, Shelby Nolker, Somer Cooper, Carmeisha Howard, Jadah Spence, Katy Drewett and K.C. Toler.

 

The Jena Lady Giants had high expectations coming into this season. The main goal for this season was to get to Sulphur for the Fast Pitch 56 State Tournament. The Lady Giants accomplished that goal by beating Rayne in the second round of the state playoffs. The next thing the Lady Giants were trying to accomplish was to be the first Jena team to win a game at Sulphur. The opponent for the Lady Giants in the quarterfinal round was #4 North Vermilion. The Lady Giants lost to North Vermilion last season in the second round of the playoffs.

Jena Giants finishes their season at Iowa

Submitted by admin on Wed, 05/01/2013 - 01:47
Jena Giant Chevy Thornton is congratulated by fellow Jena Giants for his homerun during the first round of state playoffs against Iowa this past weekend. The game resulted in a 10 to 3 loss for the Giants – though the Giants (#29) gave Iowa (#4) a run for their money with a tied score of 3 to 3 in the fifth inning.

 

The Jena Giants had to say goodbye to three seniors after the first round baseball playoff loss at the Iowa Yellow Jackets last Friday night. These three players have helped this young team to make a first-round playoff appearance. We want to wish Bradley Eubanks, Jacob Davis, and Will Juarez best of luck in the future.

Lady Giants going to “Big Party”

Submitted by admin on Wed, 04/24/2013 - 00:18
The Jena Lady Giants congratulate fellow Lady Giant Jazmine Richardson (center #17) after her homerun during the first round matchup of state playoffs against Westlake last week in Jena. The game resulted in a 5 to 0 win for the Lady Giants. In the second round of state playoffs, the Lady Giants came out with a tough-won 4 to 2 fourteen-inning victory over Rayne, which propels them into the Fast Pitch 56 State Tournament in Sulphur this weekend.

 

The Jena Lady Giants’ goal all season was to get back to Sulphur for the Fast Pitch 56 State Tournament. After coming up one game short last season the Lady Giants were motivated to get to Sulphur this season. That goal did not change even after losing their last two games of this season to Buckeye and Tioga. The Lady Giants made the playoffs as the #5 seed after winning a share of the district 3-3A championship. The Lady Giants first round matchup was against the Westlake Lady Rams who came into the game as the #28 seed. Almost all of the Jena runs came in the 2nd inning as Junior Carmeisha Howard led off the inning with a triple.

L.D.W.F. waterfowl hunter opinion survey

Submitted by admin on Wed, 04/24/2013 - 00:15
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) hosted the annual Father-Child FUN Camp on a recent weekend at the Woodworth Outdoor Education facility, south of Alexandria. FUN means Families Understanding Nature and offers parents and their children an opportunity to spend a weekend in the outdoors, re-establishing bonds and honing outdoor skills.

 

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) Waterfowl Section, in partnership with LSU’s School of Renewable Natural Resources, has begun a survey of resident waterfowl hunters which asks for input on waterfowl hunting activity, satisfaction with new zones and zone boundaries, potential season dates for future waterfowl hunting seasons, and attitudes on particular policies. “We are mailing surveys-to 5,000 randomly selected waterfowl hunters - 2,500 printed surveys with follow-ups to be completed and mailed back; and 2,500 postcards with Internet pass codes to be completed on-line,” said Larry Reynolds, LDWF Waterfowl Study Leader.
