LCA blanks Rayne High in non-district contest

RAYNE - During non-district football action Friday night at Wolf Stadium, the Rayne High Wolves faced one of the top teams in the state, Lafayette Christian Academy.
The Wolves faced a challenge, holding the Knights to a touchdown in the first quarter.
But, the LCA scoring hit for 35 points in the second quarter for an eventual 42-0 win.
“We knew coming into tonight that it would be a challenge against a really good team,” stated Rayne High School Head Coach Kaine Guidry following Friday’s loss.
The loss places the Wolves at 5-4 overall.
“We had our chances in the first half with our defense getting them to punt a couple times,” Guidry continued. “But, it was hard for our offense to get much going against such a strong defense.”
At quarterback for the Wolves, Colin LaCombe was limited to a couple completions for 23 yards with an interception.
The lone receiver for the Wolves was Reid Dupont with two grabs for 23 yards.
“Darian Chevalier looked good at tailback,” Guidry noted. “He had a good night, considering.”
From the backfield, Chevalier had nine carries for 91 rushing yards, while Ron Charles tallied 34 yards and Jamarcus Monroe with 10. Roderick Freeman, Ron Roberts, Dupont and LaCombe completed the limited rushing stats.
“With Division One talent all over that field, it was just too hard for us to contain them (LCA) for that long, allowing them to eventually hit a few big plays on us.
“I was proud of the fight our kids showed. They never gave up despite the score.
“I’m pleased with some of the younger guys stepping in and getting some playing time.
Leading the Rayne High defense was Ron Roberts with five solor tackles, one assist and a tackle for loss.
Peyton Francis and Jamarcus Monroe each turned in three solo tackles, while Griffin Champagne, Gavin Labauve, John Jolivette and Sean Dorsett each chalked up one each.
The Knights tallied 323 total offensive yards on the night, including 208 in the air and 115 rushing, resulting in six touchdowns.
Guidry noted, “We have to put this one behind us and start preparing for Washington-Marion to close out district play next week.”
Rayne High, presently at 2-1 in district play, will meet Washington-Marion on Friday in their final district match-up in Lake Charles.
With a win, the Wolves could possibly bring home the 4-4A district title -- time will tell for the surprise team of District 4 of 4A.
