For the first time in three weeks, the LaSalle Tigers were at home last Friday night to face the Logansport Tigers for a District 3-1A game. Things started off rough for LaSalle as Logansport is ranked number 2 in Class 1A and they were not looking to give up that ranking spot in Olla.

It was Homecoming 2016 this past Friday night as Jena High School welcomed back alumni from years past. There were plenty of festivities during the week and the weekend to celebrate the homecoming. In the middle of all of the homecoming festivities the Jena Giants welcomed the Vidalia Vikings to town in another district 3-3A matchup. The Vikings came in with a record of 2-3 overall and 0-2 in district play.

The LaSalle Tigers opened district 3-1A play with a tremendous team effort to pick up the win over the Block Bears in Jonesville last Friday night. LaSalle opened the game taking the opening kickoff and keeping the ball three plays before T’Keil Anding raced 33 yards for the score. This would be T’Keil’s first game back since getting hurt in week 3 and he would take advantage of this opportunity.

It was the third week in a row that the LaSallle Tigers would be playing at home. The home field advantage has not been kind to the Tigers this season. This game would be no different. The Grant Cougars came into the game 3-0 and off to its best start in school history. Coach Hallman and the gang are playing good football at this time and the Tigers simply are not. This is not a case of whether the Tigers can play good football, but a case of whether they decide to play good football or not .

Back in the 1950’s, a musical group known as the ‘Four Lads’ had a #1 hit song titled, “Moments to Remember!” Recently on You Tube, I listened to this great old song. The song is about a high school class having a great senior year. I seriously doubt this popular group had any idea this song would go down in history as one of the all time greats! The words to this song are very forceful and almost bring tears to your eyes - words like: ‘the day we tore the goal posts down’, ‘The laughter we all shared will echo through the years’, ‘As time goes by we all go our separate ways but we will have those moments to remember!
