The St. James Wildcat football team improved to 2-1 on the season with a 4925 victory over the Class 5A Thibodaux Tigers last Friday in the confines of Wildcat Stadium in Vacherie.
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jarvis Landry was honored last week at Lutcher High when his #80 jersey number was retired in an on-field ceremony prior to the kickoff between Lutcher vs. Helen Cox. Fans were given special t-shirts to wear and the Bulldog football team wore special helmet decals commemorating his personal achievements on and off the field. While at Lutcher, Landry caught 241 passes for 3,902-yards and 50 touchdowns and he rushed for 875-yards and 14 touchdowns.
The Lutcher High Lady Bulldog Volleyball team came away with a 27-25, 25-21, 23-25, 2520 victory over Ascension Catholic in a non-district Volleyball match played last week.
Last Friday in La-Place the Lutcher Bulldogs ended up four-yards short of completing a miraculous, come from behind victory over the St. Charles Catholic (SCC) Comets in what turned out to be a fantastic high school football game and one fans of both teams will not soon forget. Trailing 21-20, deep in their own territory, with no timeouts and literally seconds remaining on the play clock, Lutcher ran one last play and quarterback D’Wanye Winfield launched a pass toward the Bulldog sideline and senior receiver Tylin Johnson somehow got behind the Comet defenders, caught the ball, and seemed to be headed to the end zone to win the game in a dramatic/walk-off fashion. However, before Johnson could make it to the promised land Comet linebacker Michael Hotard hustled, sprinted and made the play of the game when he dove and tackled Johnson at the Comet four-yard line to win the game and send his teammates and the homestanding crowd into a frenzy.
The Lutcher Bulldog football team traveled to Thibodaux last Thursday for the season opener and the fans who made the trip sure got their money’s worth as the Bulldog offense put on a scoring clinic and beat the Class 5A Tigers 62-35. Lutcher’s offense, led by senior quarterback D’Wanye “Lunch” Winfield, was unstoppable as the ‘Dogs compiled more than 560-yards of total offense and scored on every possession except the last as they ran out the clock to seal the victory. When asked to say a few words on his team’s overall performance, head coach Dwain Jenkins says he was watching the play of the offensive line, a group that only returned one starter from a year ago, and he said for the offense to have success the line would have to answer the bell and play well.
