The Washington Parish Junior High football championship game was held last week at Varnado High stadium between the Franklinton Junior High Falcons and the Pine Junior High Raiders. These two teams qualified as the two teams of the four parish teams with the best records. After a hard fought game the Raiders won, 28-6 to take the championship and the trophy.
The Raiders got on the scoreboard first when Raiders quarterback Tray Knight passed to Bryce Seagrest for a 44 yard touchdown with 4:18 left in the first period. In the second period the Raiders scored again when Seagrest caught a 55 yarder for a touchdown with 4:50 to go in the second period that gave the Raiders a 14-0 advantage.
The Falcons responded with a score when Falcons quarterback Deon Melton passed to Kaleb Causey for a 52 yard touchdown with 2:19 left in the first half. The two point conversion was no good and the score stood at 14-6. The Raiders managed a score before halftime when Seagrest ran in a touchdown from 18 yards out to give the Raiders a 21-6 halftime intermission lead.
The second half was a mixture of punts, turnovers, and turnovers on downs before the Raiders got in a score late in the fourth quarter when Knight scored on a one yard keeper to give the Raiders a 28-6 final score.
