It was a night of celebration and victory at St. Mary’s High School on Friday, as the Tigers defeated LaSalle 28–6 in their Homecoming game. The win improved St. Mary’s to 3–5 overall and 2–1 in District 3-1A.

Adding to the evening’s festivities, Miss Jenna Sklar was crowned Homecoming Queen during halftime. The event also welcomed back alumni from the Classes of 1975, 1985, and 2015, who gathered to celebrate their milestone reunions.

On the field, the Tigers delivered a strong performance on both sides of the ball. JP Thibodaux led the offense with 184 rushing yards and two touchdowns, powering St. Mary’s ground attack. Dennison Morgan added a one-yard touchdown run, while AJ Johnson connected with Chalin Gandy on an 18-yard touchdown reception to round out the scoring.

Defensively, the Tigers made several key plays to keep LaSalle in check. Brady Childress and Michael French each recorded an interception, helping St. Mary’s secure its third win of the season.

The Tigers will look to continue their momentum next week as they host Northwood-Lena on Friday night. The game will also serve as Senior Night, with a pregame recognition ceremony beginning around 6:35 p.m. to honor the school’s senior football players and spirit group members.
