South Terrebonne defensive players Garrett Falgout (42) and Christian Lirette (54) try to bring down Vandebilt Catholic running back Curtis Welch in Friday’s scrimmage at Buddy Marcello Stadium in Houma. The teams will play in respective jamborees next Friday night.

HOUMA – The South Terrebonne Gators provided the lone points of 12-minute live quarter against Vandebilt Catholic with a 75-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Quinton Lirette to wide receiver Mike Barba.

It gave the Gators a 6-0 victory on Friday night at Buddy Marcello Stadium.

The live quarter wrapped up an evening of scrimmage work for the two teams.

“Quinton (Lirette) can throw, and he can run the ball. Having the ability to run the ball will be a big help for us. We are pleased with the effort, especially with being in the gym (because of inclement weather) so much lately,” South Terrebonne coach Richard Curlin said.

“This maybe have been our third day of live contact in the last two weeks. I’m pleased, not satisfied. I don’t think any of us should be satisfied. We have a lot of work to do.”

At the beginning of the evening, both offenses and defenses ran sets of plays, and South Terrebonne scored first on a touchdown run by Jamal Stewart.

The Gators scored again on a 65-yard touchdown run by sophomore fullback Saul Trosclair.

South Terrebonne scored on its next series when John Brown scored on a 2-yard touchdown run.

Vandebilt’s only score was on a 1-yard touchdown run by running back Curtis Welch.

Vandebilt coach Walter Dupre was unavailable for comment after the scrimmage.
