Ferriday sweeps Sterlington
Ferriday's boys and girls tipped off District 2-2A play with a pair of wins at Sterlington High Tuesday.

"We got there a little bit late so I was worried about if we were able to stretch out enough," said Ferriday coach Lisa Abron. "But the girls stepped up and played well. We got some early turnovers and our fast break was working for us. We definitely wanted to win the first district game to get off to a good start."
Ferriday led 13-6 after one period and 27-13 at halftime.
Sophomore point guard Chante Poole led Ferriday with 17 points, while Jalessia Davis added 11.

"They have their entire team coming back," Abron said of the Lady Panthers. "They play a lot like we do. I will know by tomorrow (Thursday) if Jasmine will be able to play. We need to pull this game since it is a home game."
Ferriday High had four players score in double figures as the Trojans defeated Block 74-58 Friday in Ferriday.
"That was definitely our best offensive output of the season," said Ferriday High coach Glen Henderson. "It was a big win for us. It gives us a lot of confidence going into district. We knew we were going to struggle early, but the guys are playing much better basketball now."
Ferriday trailed Block 13-12 after one period, but led 30-29 at halftime.
