On Thursday Ponchatoula take on Slidell at 7:00 PM. Ponchatoula have seen their point totals decreasing over the past three games, a vulnerability Slidell are surely hoping to exploit.
Ponchatoula came up short against Mandeville last Friday, falling 24-34. Ponchatoula got a solid performance out of senior Tyjae Spears, who picked up 107 yards on the ground and caught passes for 81 yards; unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the victory. Spears has been a consistent playmaker for Ponchatoula as this was the 5th good game in a row from him.
Meanwhile, Slidell had enough points to win and then some against Covington, taking their match 34-14. The success made it back-to-back wins for Slidell.
Slidell's win lifted them to 3-2 while Ponchatoula's loss dropped them down to 2-3. In their win, Slidell relied heavily on junior Harlan Dixon, who picked up 172 yards on the ground and snatched 1 receiving TD. Ponchatoula will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
