“Helen Cox was tough. This was the same kind of game as last time,” said Destrehan coach Chris Stroud, referring to last season’s opener between the teams that Destrehan pulled out via a late score. “I just feel bad for our kids. They fought extremely hard and this is a tough way to lose.”
Helen Cox scored the game’s first 10 points, but Taylor Dunn’s 62-yard touchdown pass to Rickey Jefferson with 25 seconds left in the first half drew DHS within four. But the extra point attempt was no good.

“It goes back to not executing. There were plays there for us offensively, but we blew some plays, had a few drops, had some struggles on special teams that we didn’t expect to have. Defensively, we played very well … It’ll be tough, but it doesn’t matter if you win by one or lose by one ultimately. You just learn from and correct your mistakes.”
