The question of whether Hahnville would ever give up a point this season was answered on Friday night against Helen Cox, who was able to get into the endzone.

Of course, holding a team to sox that had scored 50 one-week prior is no small feat.

Hahnville remained undefeated Friday night, hosting and defeating Helen Cox handily, by a 35-6 score.

&#8220It went pretty much the same way as the previous two games,” said Hahnville Coach Lou Valdin. &#8220We played well defensively, and in the second half, we got the offense going.

Nathan Lewis, Danzell Lockett and Bryce Jacobs led a defense that blanketed the Cougars (1-2) all night, allowing only 218 total yards to an explosive offensive.

Offensively, running back Greg Julien led the way for Hahnville (3-0)with 25 carries for 135 yards and two touchdowns. Lauren White had 75 yards on seven carries, and Jai Steib rushed for 43 yards on seven carries with a touchdown.

B.J. Young was 10-18 for 141 yards, a touchdown and an interception, and also ran for 33 yards on four carries.

&#8220We turned it over a few times and had some penalties. That was the only thing that really slowed down the offense,” Valdin said. &#8220The run game really stepped it up in the second half. The good thing about having a few running backs is it keeps fresh legs going late.”

The game was scoreless until Julien scored on a 5-yard run with 9:41 left in the second quarter, making it 7-0.

Young found White for a big play with 3:53 left in the half, a 56-yard touchdown catch and run, making it 14-0.

At the 9:47 mark of the fourth, Julien scored for the second time, a 13-yard run that made it 21-6. A 63-yard Ivory Washington punt return shortly after made it 28-6.

Finally, Steib scored from eight yards out to make it a 35-6 game.
