The Jena Lady Giants came into this week looking to pick up a couple of wins and improve their power rating enough to try to get a home playoff game in the first round. The Lady Giants came into the week ranked #20 in the LHSAA Class 3A power ratings.

If the Lady Giants could pick up wins at home against Peabody and on the road at Avoyelles then they might would jump 4 spots into the top 16 which would give them a chance at a home playoff game in the 1st round of the playoffs.

The LaSalle Lady Tigers are 2-2 in district 3-1A play and ranked number 7 in the LHSAA power rankings, but these ladies are not satisfied. This team has worked tirelessly all off-season to be in the position they are in now.
 
After a first round post season exit last year, these girls went to work and began preparing for this season. The returning players, Kierra Smith, Kelsey Barnhill, Carli Pridhomme, Ali Long, Gracie Skinner, and Annabeth Pittman, were excited to see a large freshman class coming in to help.

LaSalle Tigers have had their struggles

Submitted by Edgar on Mon, 2017-01-23 17:15

By Greg Jones

The Tigers have gotten off to a rocky start this season. The Tigers have played hard every game and never just threw in the towel. The Tigers are 0-4 in district play and have six games left to right the ship.
 
These guys are practicing hard to make things better for the rest of this season. The season’s bright spot has been the play of the freshman class that came in from the jr high. They have sparked the offense at times to keep the Tigers in every game.
