In addition to two rushing touchdowns by senior Ethan Scioneaux, freshman Devonta Grogan and junior Trey Derouen each added a rushing touchdown. Grogan had a kickoff return for a touchdown, junior Logan Tingle recorded an interception return for a score, and the Tiger defense forced a safety.
Offensively, Scioneaux leads Morgan City’s run game with 33 carries for 167 yards and two scores.
Junior Isaiah Escort has passed for 259 yards. He has completed 15 of 32 passes with two touchdowns and four interceptions.
