<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Westgate weathered a stormy Friday and a third-quarter rally attempt by Terrebonne to advance to the second round of the Division-I Non-Select playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The home-standing Tigers, the No. 16 seed, topped their No. 17-seeded counterparts, 27-10, behind a stingy defensive effort and four rushing touchdowns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAz-mOjKPDc","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAz-mOjKPDc </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ryan Abadie | 5-10, 140 K | Terrebonne (2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The senior capped a solid senior season with one more reliable performance for his Tigers, making good on both his field-goal and his extra-point attempt even in adverse conditions in the rain on the road</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1204729' first='Raquinton' last='Allen'] | 6-2, 265 OL | Westgate (2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The big senior was among the leaders of the Tigers' physical performance in the trenches — including LSU-committed defensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='285269' first='De'Myrion' last='Johnson'] playing both ways — and seemed to be involved in helping pave the way for most of their best runs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1237773' first='Trandin' last='Benjamin'] | 5-10, 175 DB | Westgate (2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Tigers' secondary didn't let the rainy night dampen their energy or their playmaking, and the sophomore safety came up with one of biggest plays with an interception late in the first half to help halt a Terrebonne drive nearing the red zone. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='139502' first='Talan' last='Bingham'] | 6-3, 315 DL | Terrebonne (2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Allen, Johnson and company were a handful in the trenches, but Terrebonne's big defensive tackle battled all night, played with a good motor and helped make a couple of his team's biggest defensive plays on a blocked punt and a tackle for loss.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='914094' first='Tavias' last='Gordon'] | 5-10, 185 RB | Westgate (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The junior was the steady bell-cow of the diverse rushing attack he has been all season long with his game-highs of 158 yards on 22 carries. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1221246' first='Gavin' last='Hebert'] | 6-2, 205 TE | Westgate (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The junior tight end was a consistent weapon in the Tigers' run game throughout the contest, including a second-quarter touchdown run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='914092' first='Davian' last='Jackson'] | 6-2, 170 WR/RB | Westgate (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The versatile weapon got free up the right sideline and opened up his breakaway speed for easily the longest of his Tigers' four touchdown runs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='901576' first='Jayce' last='Johnson'] | 5-9, 170 RB | Terrebonne (2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On a tough night against a tough defense, the senior running back was his team's most consistent offensive presence, including a 5-yard dash to the goal line for its only touchdown.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='710764' first='Bryant' last='Leon Jr.'] | 6-1, 170 DB/WR/ATH | Westgate (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the injury of [player_tooltip player_id='710071' first='Jaboree' last='Antoine'] and transfer of [player_tooltip player_id='920672' first='Peyton' last='Landry'], the junior defensive back and receiver took the reins of the offense — a testament to the coaching staff's trust in both his playmaking and decision-making abilities. Leon has done and once again did well with the opportunity, taking care of the football and bouncing a couple solid runs of his own to complement his stable of backs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='710088' first='Dy'Traevous' last='Lively'] | 5-10, 215 LB | Westgate (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The junior linebacker was active in the box, including a big fourth-down stop, and as one of the offense's leading rushers, including a touchdown near the goal-line for the game's first points, other physical runs between the tackles and a couple nice runs he bounced to the outside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='678307' first='Andre' last='Williams'] | 6-0, 210 LB | Westgate (2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Like Lively, the senior leader of Tigers' stout linebacking corps played big on both sides of the ball, helping stuff the run of Terrebonne and establish the run of Westgate — both with his blocking and his ball-carrying, including the team's final goal-line touchdown to help put the game away.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
