Abbeville can’t dig way out of big hole, falls to SMSH
The St. Martinville Tigers took advantage of a couple of short field situations to build a big halftime lead and held off a second-half comeback try by the Abbeville Wildcats to remain unbeaten in District 5-3A action Thursday night at Wildcat Stadium in Abbeville.
The Tigers (5-4 overall, 3-0 district) scored on all four of their first-half possessions to lead 28-7 at the break, then added TDs on their first two second-half possessions to go up 42-7 before Abbeville buckled down and outscored the visiting team 12-0 the rest of the way.
