Tim Fletcher: Shreveport’s Biggest Rivalry
The biggest rivalry in the city commences tonight when Captain Shreve meets Byrd at Lee Hedges Stadium.
The 7th ranked Yellowjackets bring a 3-0 mark into the annual grudge match which doubles as a district game. The purple and gold gang also has a dominant record in their matchup with the King's Highway kids, with 20 wins in the last 21 square-offs.
The Gators, 1-2 are inexperienced on defense with eight sophomores on the field most of the time---a potentially combustible equation with the Jackets vaunted offensive attack.
Game time is set for 7pm. You can listen to all the action on 1130 The Tiger.
