The homestanding Tigers rolled past perennial power Kentwood 22-6 to capture the District 9-1A crown on Friday.

The Tigers, 8-1, and the Kangaroos each have one loss in District 9-1A play.

East Feliciana led 14-6 at the half and entered the fourth quarter 22-6.

The Tigers were led by quarterback Marcus Cannon Jr.’s two touchdowns on 146 yards passing and a defense that held the Kangaroos to 181 total yards.

Cannon has thrown for 1,095 yards and 16 touchdowns, and Makyle Cannon has run for 527 yards.

Wide receiver Ryan Moore leads the team with 15 total touchdowns, including eight receiving.

Albert Eubanks rushed for 200 yards but it was not enough as Slaughter fell to Dunhan 63-13 Friday.

Eubanks has rushed for 1,331 yards and four touchdowns for the Knights (2-7, 2-2).

“It was a tough game against the defending state champs,” Slaughter coach Patrick Clarkston said. “The first quarter was close and then it got out of hand.”

“Their offense is very good,” he said.

Keller Spinks led Slaughter’s defense with 12 tackles.

The Knights close out the regular season Friday at Donaldsonville in a game with playoff implications.

“It will be a tough and close matchup,” Clarkston said. “They are big and want to throw the ball around. We will have to get pressure and play well in the secondary.”
