Felipe’s field goal gives Erath win over DeQuincy

DEQUINCY, La. — Erath kicker Eli Felipe made a 28-yard field goal with 1:29 remaining, securing a 30-28 victory over DeQuincy on Thursday.
Felipe had missed an extra point and a field goal earlier in the game, but EHS head coach Eric LeBlanc said he had confidence in his kicker.
“His misses were more about operations,” said LeBlanc. “We talked to the snapper and holder to correct some things. I was confident to let him kick.”
It is the second time the Bobcats have defeated a team in Lake Charles. Last week, they beat Westlake 21-20, which was also undefeated.
Dequincy came into the game with a solid defense, allowing only 7 points per game. The Bobcats did not let that bother them, as they put up 30 points with the help of a solid passing game.
Erath quarterback Jack Landry and his receivers found success all night long.
Landry threw for an impressive 282 yards. He completed 14 out of 25 passes to five receivers.
Cameron Soirez had five catches for 102 yards. Talen Landry had three for 66 yards. Luke Etie had two for 46 yards, Aiden Bourque had 2 for 34 yards, and Mason Hebert for 34 yards.
The Bobcats’ leading rushers were Aiden Bourque (10-41) and Mason Hebert (11-35).
Erath trailed 21-14 at halftime.
The Bobcats scored two touchdowns in the third period to retake the lead, which was 27-21, heading into the fourth period.
In the third period, Soriez caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Landry. Hebert also had a one-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
“We knew it would be a tough game,” said LeBlanc.  “The kids are excited.”
Next Friday, the 5-1 Bobcats will be home to battle Berwick (2-2) in a homecoming game.
