Football

Upon winning the coin toss, the Greenies captains chose to receive the initial kickoff but the offense was stopped on the first drive on a 4th and 1 at midfield. Dunham’s acclaimed five-star junior quarterback proceeded to lead his team to two touchdowns in the first quarter, including three fourth-down conversions.

The Greenies rallied in the second quarter when senior kicker Will Pinkerton nailed a beautiful 44-yard field goal from the right hashmark to put the Greenies on the board 14-3.

The Tigers responded with two more scores generated by their talented quarterback, but the Greenies never quit. Midway through the second quarter, junior Hendrix Hill got the Greenies back in the game with a 90-yard kickoff return touchdown.

The offense was also able to put together a 13-play, 76-yard drive that culminated in a 4th-and-12 touchdown pass with just seconds left in the half on a reverse by senior Collier Villere to Hill, bringing the score at half to 27-16.

The second half held more of the same, as the Greenies fought hard but couldn’t overcome the Tigers’ prolific offense. Quarterback Jake Randle would connect one last time with his favorite target, fellow captain and senior wide receiver George Loop, for a touchdown late in the third quarter, making the final score 48-22.

On the other side of the ball, the Green Machine Defense battled all night long and did log a few sacks and TFLs. In the end, though, there was no answer for the Tigers’ 6’5, 220-pound quarterback.

On the season, Randle accounted for 1,759 passing yards and 22 passing touchdowns and 793 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns, giving him all-purpose production of 2,552 yards and 35 touchdowns in ten games.

Congratulations to the graduating seniors for their efforts and leadership this year (from left to right): Captain George Loop, Captain Jake Randle, Archie Casbarian, Collier Villere, Captain Henry Jackson, Calvin Drake, Jack Falgoust, Ian O’Boyle, Will Pinkerton, and Corbett Parrino.

Girls Soccer

The momentum continued as Susu Milling delivered a long ball from the back line, setting up Arjmand’s third goal and completing her first hat trick of the season. Just before the break, Córdova fed another dangerous ball to Arjmand, whose shot was deflected by the keeper but cleaned up by Ann Schonberg, giving the Greenies a 4–0 advantage over the Warriors at halftime.

The second half saw the Greenies maintain their control, sealing the match with a fifth goal 15 minutes in. Jane Summerour played a well-timed assist to Arjmand, who finished to make it 5–0 and tally her fourth score of the night. With strong possession, disciplined defense, and standout offensive execution, the Greenies secured another impressive home victory over the Warriors, continuing their early-season momentum.

Yesterday afternoon, the girls played on the road at Division I’s Fontainebleau High School in Mandeville. Though the Greenies held their own against a strong opponent in a tough, defensive matchup, and worked to create a few opportunities against the Bulldogs, they struggled to generate consistent offense, and a single goal proved to be the difference as Newman fell 1–0 in a tightly-played contest.

This weekend, the girls will travel to Lafayette for matches against Loyola College Prep and Lafayette High School. Good luck Greenies!
