Breaux Bridge – Natchitoches Central shut out the Breaux Bridge High Tigers 41-0 to open the 2025 football season at Northwestern State University’s Turpin Stadium on Friday, but in watching game film, BBHS head coach Tyler Pierce saw some things that indicate the game was closer than the score indicated.
Breaux Bridge trailed only 7-0 and had gotten to within inches of the Natchitoches Central goal line with a chance to tie the game up but penalties pushed the Tigers back and set up a third-andgoal from the 17 and Breaux Bridge could not convert the series into points.
The Chiefs then scored quickly to put some space between the teams and from there the Tigers couldn’t catch up to their Class 5A opponent. “To us, it wasn’t necessarily what they did, it was what we didn’t do,” Pierce said. “That’s why the film session was of huge importance. It’s just little things.”
