Prairieville-Walker winner runs to victory on windy night

Prairieville scored two touchdowns in the final minute of the first half, creating all the separation it would need in a 26-7 win at Walker on Friday night.

Neither team scored in the second half, which allowed the Hurricanes (3-4, 1-3) to pick up their first District 5-5A win of the season.
