Salmen sophomore Daniel Sams accounted for two touchdowns in a 28-0 victory over the East Jefferson Warriors even though the Spartans was playing without starting quarterback Julien Troullier. The District 9-4A game was held at Salmen.

Salmen coach Jerry Leonard said it wasn’t just Sams that came through for the team.

“I thought Sams stepped up along with a bunch of other people that had to step up tonight in the absence of Julien,” Leonard said.

The coach credited the entire offense and defense for their play.

Salmen (5-2) is 3-0 in district play. The Spartans play again Friday night when they host Pearl River’s Rebels. PRHS was 6-0 overall and 2-0 in district play at Saturday’s press time. The Rebels played against Holy Cross yesterday. Look for coverage in Wednesday’s edition of the St. Tammany News. East Jefferson (1-6) is 0-3 in district action.

The game was scoreless until the second quarter when Sams connected with Isiah Tate for a 15-yard touchdown pass. The extra point gave the Spartans a 7-0 lead and the score remained that way through halftime.

In the third quarter, Sams got in with his legs on a 1-yard run to give his team a 14-0 edge.

Later in the period, Salmen went up 21-0.

The Spartans capped the scoring with a 1-yard run by Jeremiah Robinson.
