The Bossier Bearkats got a big game out of Chris Williams, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a strong Mansfield effort in a 39-11 District 1-3A loss Friday night at Memorial Stadium.
Williams rushed for a season-high 160 yards on 22 carries and scored on a 16-yard run.
But the Wolverines countered with 305 yards on the ground, including 126 by Lavonte Hall and 112 by quarterback Jaylin Wilson.
