Evangel’s Aiden Carter is a Swiss Army Knife for the Eagles
If you were Evangel’s Aiden Carter, you would be a very, very tired young man on Saturday morning. That’s the way it is week after week each fall for the multi-talented junior who rarely leaves the football field while making plays that bring Eagle fans to their feet. Against Byrd on Friday (Oct. 23) night, Carter was the deep man on kickoffs, made several outstanding receptions from freshman quarterback Briggs Berlin and picked off a pass late in the first half to stop a potential Byrd scoring drive. All in a night’s work when you’re playing 5A football with a roster that’s more like 2A in size. “Aiden Carter is the type player every successful program needs,” Evangel coach Denny Duron said. “While he could receive plenty of recognition for what he brings to the game of football, it’s the things he does behind the scenes that truly set him apart.” HUNTINGTON WINS: Huntington scores late to slip past Captain Shreve on senior night PREDICTIONS: Find out which Shreveport-area football teams should win Week 8 games Unfortunately for Carter, his effort was in a losing cause as Byrd (1-7) won its first game of the season 28-24 thanks to two

TEXARKANA, Texas — The Ave Maria Women's Basketball team kicked off the 2026-27 season Friday night, competing in the Eagle Classic hosted by Texas A&M Texarkana. Unfortunately, the Gyrenes fell in the opener, losing to the LSU Shreveport Pilots 69-54. If the old saying is correct in that the first basket can predict how a season will go, then Gyrenes don't need to worry about this season. Right off the opening tipoff, Parker Straub knocked down the first three-pointer of the season, getting an assist from freshman newcomer Elena Snyder.

Huntington scores late to slip past Captain Shreve on senior night
Captain Shreve said goodbye to 17 seniors playing their final regular season game at Lee Hedges as the home team Thursday night, but Huntington made sure it was a disappointing finale with a 28-21 win. After a poor special teams effort by the Gators with about 2 minutes remaining, Huntington quarterback Braylon Washington scored on a 23-yard run for the game-winner . Washington had scored earlier in the fourth quarter on a 3-yard run to knot the game at 21. The game ended with a Gator pass missing in the end zone. Washington finished with 73 yards passing and 27 yards rushing with the two scores. The win solidified the Raiders’ chances at a postseason berth, while the loss by the Gators severed a two-game winning streak and put doubt on their ability to host a first-round playoff game. The Raiders (2-6) got on the board late in the first quarter when AJ Johnson cashed in on a 2-yard drive. Shreve’s Gage Lockett answered for the Gators (4-4) with his 5-yard TD run with about 6 minutes to play in the first half. And Shreve took the lead with just 50 seconds remaining in the half when Maddox Parrott found
