PLEASURE ISLAND — The Bridge City cross country team carried on with their momentum Saturday by rolling to both team titles and both individual wins at the Pleasure Island Cross Country Meet.

Leading the way for the Cardinal boys was senior Ryan Kelly, who navigated the hilly three-mile course in 17 minutes, 21 seconds.

He was followed by teammates Tim Cude (third, 18:15), Kirby Sheppard (fourth, 18:54), Brandon Simoneaux (sixth, 19:16), Sawyer Hogan (eighth, 19:52), Armando Chavez (11th, 20:11) and Josh Blakeney (12th, 20:27).

The Lady Cardinals were paced by freshman Jessica Franklin, who captured her first-ever varsity title. Franklin covered the two-mile course in 14:21. She was followed closely by teammates Mary Nguyen (third, 14:24), Shae Garriga (fourth, 15:05); Ariel Chesson (sixth, 15:14), Melissa Pittman (seventh, 15:17), Lisa Huynh (10th, 15:58) and Sarah Fontenot (15th, 17:24).

“The Pleasure Island course is always tough,†said Cardinal head coach Cody Knight. “Last year when the course was set up, it kinda went around the hills. Today, I think every hill had to be covered. It was tough conditions but the kids were eager for the challenge.â€

The Deweyville boys team finished second behind Bridge City and the Lady Pirates were third behind Bridge City and Hamshire-Fannett.

    • I too, wish #15 was healthy and playing.  And also another RB (can't recall the #), who went down in the first game of the season. But, some others have stepped up and are hard runners.  I'm really looking forward to watching this game. 
    • Still, from what little I saw, it should have been a much closer game.  WOS was missing some fundamentals on defense, and a lack of imaginative play calling on offense.  Just my opinion as an objective observer on Texan Live, which was horrible btw, but that's another story. 
    • Either way,one game lead in the series. I rely to much on word of mouth 
    • West Orange Stark has been a powerhouse since I csn remember. At some point, your bound to fall off to some degree. Alabama has 3 or 4 loses this season. Who would have thought? Has Orange lost kids to LCM or even Orangefield?
    • Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716).  The Tiger defense is solid and very quick.    Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him. I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.
