It was a good night to be a Little Cypress-Mauriceville Bear, not so good as a Bridge City Cardinal or Orangefield Bobcat. In district openers last Friday LC-M defeated Livingston, 28-21. Bridge City opened at home and dropped game one to the Buna Cougars, 36-7. Orangefield was mauled by Silsbee, 52-14.

Bear quarterback Caleb Harley launched an areal attack against the Lions as receiver Dalton Doyle racked up 137 yards and two touchdowns on seven receptions. LCM runningback Jalen Griffin rambled for 153 yards and a touchdown on 29 carries.
LCM place kicker Trent Manuel boosted the Bears with two field goals. His first a 37-yarder early in the second quarter. Manuel struck again for a 36 yard field goal mid way through the third quarter. He was perfect all night on PATs.
With the score tied at 21-21 late in the fourth quarter LCM surprised Livingston as Harley connected with Sonnier for a lateral pass and Sonnier passed it to Doyle 45 yards down field to the five yard line. Two plays later Harley connected with Doyle in the end zone for the game winning touchdown. Manuel’s PAT made the final score 28-21.
