Tigers earn spot in playoffs against Jennings
St. Martinville – The St. Martinville Tigers had their chances in the second half against District 5-3A rival Kaplan on Senior Night, but hurt themselves with a fumble at the end of a long pass play and a dropped pass in the end zone in the second half, falling 28-20 to the Pirates on Friday in the regular-season finale for both teams.
The loss dropped the Tigers to 3-7 overall and 1-2 in district, but still earned a spot in the Division II Non-Select playoffs. SMSH will travel to Jennings (7-3) in the first round on Friday. “Well, the offense, we didn’t capitalize (on opportunities),” SMSH coach Garrett Kreamer said Friday. “In the red zone we’re in the inchline and we false start, and that causes us not to score. Another drive, we make a big pass play, then we fumble. And then another drive later in the game, we drop a touchdown pass that’s there. So offense just didn’t capitalize and make plays.”
