Griffins Claim Homecoming Victory

On a chilly Homecoming night, the North Desoto Griffins kept their winning ways going by defeating the BTW Lions of Shreveport 55-6.

The bulk of the Griffins scoring was done in the opening quarter as the home team jumped out to a 35-0 lead with 3 passing touchdowns from Luke Delafield. Landon Falls had touchdowns of 58 and 11 and Cole Cory added a 14 yard touchdown of his own.

Defense was the calling card of the night was once again, holding the Lions to under 25 yards for three quarters before the coaching staff emptied the reserves to allow the youngsters the opportunity to gain some valuable playing time in front of a huge crowd under the lights. Defense joined in the scoring with Jackson Terry had a fumble return and Hunter Addison had an interception return for touchdowns on the night.

Brian Banks, John Lewis and Freshman Kenny Thomas all chipped in rushing touchdowns on the evening.

The Griffins head into their fall break 5-0 for the first time since 2012 and it’s longest win streak since the 2014 season.

The Griffins head to Shreveport to face the Woodlawn Knights on October 7th at 7pm.
