Caylien Aubrey rushed for 196 yards and two touchdowns and two other Crimson Tiders scored two apiece to lead Minden past BTW 55-30 in a District 1-4A matchup Friday at W.W. Williams Stadium.
Aubrey’s scores came on romps of 65 yards in the first quarter and 63 yards in the fourth. He carried the ball only eight times on the night as Tide runners piled up 290 total yards on the ground.
Aubrey’s first TD at the 8:41 mark was followed by a Lucas Owens 18-yard dash with just 22 seconds left in the opening stanza to give the Tide a 14-0 lead.
BTW answered with an 11 play, 80-yard drive capped by an eight-yard scoring pass from Vincent Blake, Jr. to Vontravious Moore. A successful run for two made it 14-8 with just over eight minutes left in the second quarter.
Minden came back with a pair of TDs on consecutive possessions, with Owens’ second score of the night coming on a 16-yard dash up the middleat 5:23 before the half and Jaden Johnson’s eight-yard run three minutes later for a 28-8 Tide lead.
BTW’s Blake broke loose on a scrambling 61-yard scoring run for the Lions to make it 28-14, but Minden turned a short kickoff into a three play, 52-yard scoring drive. With 42 seconds remainingbefore intermission, Johnson hauled in a 33-yard scoring pass from Hudson Brown to make it 35-14.
BTW’s Devandre Johnson caught a 12-yard scoring toss from Blake to end a 10-play, 63 yard drive with just over a minute left in the third quarterand the Lions trailed 35-22 after a two-point run.
Sophomore Abreon Curry rambled to the Lions’ three-yard line with the ensuing kickoff, but a penalty moved to ball at the BTW 33. Three plays later, Brown sneaked it in from four yards out for the first of his two scores and a 42-22 lead with 18 seconds left in the third quarter.
Brown scored again with 8:50 to go in the game on a two-yard sneak and Aubrey’s 63-yard scamper ended the scoring for the Tide. BTW got into the end zone with 14 seconds left in the game on a Zarvea Frazier two-yard run.
BTW piled up 411 yards in total offense compared to the Tides’ 361, but the Tide defense came up with big plays when needed.
Aubrey’s total led all rushers, followed by Owens Jr. with 59 on 10 carries. Johnson picked up 22 yards on four attempts and Kaiden Shine carried three ties for 16 yards.
Minden completed five of six passes on the night for 71 yards with Brown going three-for-four for 51 yards. Johnson had one completion in one attempt for 13 yards ad Kaiden King was one-for-one and six yards. Johnson caught four passes on the night worth 57 yards.
BTW’s Blake was in triple digits rushing and passing for the evening. He completed 18 of 29 passes for 214 yards and rushed 18 times, picking up an even 100 yards. Frazier added 90 yards on 15 attempts. Devandre Johnson caught seven passes for 58 yards and Caden Harris had three receptions for 66 yards.
Minden now stands at 2-2 in District 1-4A play, 3-4 for the season heading into Friday’s homecoming game against the Bossier Bearkats (3-4, 1-3). Bossier dropped its last game to district foe Northwood by a 48-14 score.
BTW sports a 4-3 season record and is 1-3 in district play. The Lions will next face undefeated Loyola, a 62-14 Friday winner over Woodlawn.
The Lakeside Warriors kept it close for most of the night against their district rivals, the Red River Bulldogs.
In the end, Red River just had too much firepower, as Lakeside fell 48-21 in a game that felt closer than the final score showed.
The Warriors offense was powered by the trio of quarterback Brock Case, receiver Eric Jones and running back Kentravion Miller.
Miller ran tough all night, moving the chains with regularity while scoring a touchdown and a two-point conversion. Case put together a solid night under center, running for first downs with his legs and tossing a pair of touchdowns, both of which went to Jones.
Lakeside falls to 3-4 overall and 0-2 in district play heading into this week’s non-district matchup at home against Ringgold.
It was another great Friday night for football at Apaches stadium, but the young and ailing Apaches fell short to Lincoln Prep by a score of 25-7. The Apaches played without several of its starters who were out due to injury, so the even younger personnel was shifted around a good bit.
The Apaches received the kick and took over on the 33-yard line. Lucious Louie Collins got the start with QB-Rowdy Reagan out on concussion protocol. The first two plays dawned a read option where Collins picked up 5 and the Beast-Whitehead, picked up the first down on the next play. After a bad snap over the head of Collins, the Apaches faced a third and long. The Dime Hollingsworth picked up 8 yards but the Apaches were forced to punt.
The Panthers took over on their own 41. Lincoln Prep moved the chains on a perfectly executed trap play and picked up 25 yards. Big Dub-Weston Duck and Franklin Bridwell blew up the next play for no gain. The Apaches backed the Panthers way up from a massive tackle for loss from Sugar Slade Lollar and Davis Powell. The Apaches forced a fourth down and the shifty Panther back just barely moved the chains for a first down. The Strongman-Nolan Still on the tackle from the defensive tackle position. Sugar Slade made another tackle for loss and the Panthers faced another 3rd and 20. Huddy Glasscock made a huge stick and the Apaches forced another 4th down. The Apaches’ defensive front won the battle and sacked the QB, for a turnover on downs.
The Apaches took over deep in their own territory and moved the ball well on the first two plays and faced a third and short. Luscious found the Dime Hollingsworth for a gain of 40 yards. The Apaches moved into Panther territory at the end of the first tied 0-0. The dynamic duo of Collins to Hollingsworth was reminiscent of the NFL game the night before where Old Man Flacco found Chase 16 times. Again, The Dime beat his man again where Collins found him for another gain of 20. The Apaches had a first and 10 from their 21-yard line. After Carson Powell was mauled in the end zone, the officials found it prudent to call an offensive pass interference, but Collins dropped a beautiful ball to Luke Stanford to nearly pick up a first down. The Apaches faced a 4th and short from the 15. A play action roll out had Luscious Louie Collins dropping an absolute dot in the corner of the endzone where- Darron The Dime Hollingsworth made a great catch to give the Apaches a touchdown. Morales banged the extra point through. The Apaches led 7-0 with 9:15 left in the 2nd.
On the next possession, the Apaches faced a third and long after multiple missed face masks on Carson Whitehead. The Panthers’ acrobatic cornerback made a great break on the ball from 10-yards off and stepped in front of a wide open receiver for the interception, and he returned it all the way to the Apache 20. Huddy Glasscock had the Panther RB in the backfield, but he slid off the tackle and just barely picked up the first down. After an unbelievable targeting call that was thrown as Hudson Glasscock made the tackle from behind on the way out of bounds gave the Panther the ball inside the 5yard line and they punched it in. The score knotted, 7-7 with 6:08 left in the half.
After a promising drive that ended with a turnover on downs, the Panthers quickly moved into Apache territory. 8th grader, Tae Morris made a great stop on a pass over the middle. Senior corner-Conner Bolton made a textbook tackle on the quick out and forced a 2nd and 12 with 1:30 left in the half. Huddy Glassock who continued his dominance made a textbook tackle for loss to bring up a 4th and 24.
Naci- Monster Morales who had a breakout game, made a sack and fumble from the LB position to give the Apaches the ball with 40 secs left in the half. Carson Powell caught a beautiful pass and moved it across the 50 for an Apache first down. Lucious found Golden Gage White over the middle for a gain of 22 with 16 secs left in the half from the Panther 30. Collins unleashed a deep ball to the end zone. The Panther defender jumped 10 feet in the air and picked off the pass and ran it all the way back for a TD as the half closed where the Apaches trailed the Panthers 13-7 at the half.
The Apaches tried the onside kick but the hands team from the Panthers took over on the Apache 49. Panther halftime adjustments proved successful as they quickly punched it in for a score on the opening possession. The Apaches trailed 19-7 with 9:22 left in the third.
Apaches took over on the 20. After a three and out where Carson Whitehead nearly picked up a first down, The Dime Hollingsworth flipped the field and the Panthers took over on their own 40. Naci Morales made a great stop to force a 2nd and long.8th grader-Tae Morris was in great position and made a Sportscenter Top 10 interception way down the field to give the Apaches new life.Whitehead moved the chains with a great run of 20 yards. After another missed face mask, the Apaches picked up a first down on the next play. Whitehead ran like his hair was on fire and his tail was catching. While 8th grader Tibbitt was at the helm, he threw a TD of 45 yards to Golden Gage White, but a flag was thrown after White crossed into the end zone for illegal man down field while the entire offensive line was just standing there. Yet another terrible penalty, but the awesome Apaches were playing tough through the terrible officiating and picked up the first down.
The Apaches were on the move to start the 4th quarter but trailed 19-7. After a called back TD for two horrendous penalties that were thrown after the play, the Panthers moved into Apache territory and scored again to extend the score, 25-7 with 10:05 left in the contest.
That would be the last score of the contest for either team. The Apaches would move the ball well but fall just short on each of the next possessions in their own territory. The Apaches fell 25-7, but the score did not reflect the successes the Apaches saw on the field. They beat the Panthers up and down the field but costly turnovers in plus territory returned to inside the 20, set up the Panthers for 3 of their scores.
I am proud of our young Apaches. They played without 5 starters Friday night and the already young team found more players with grit to step up and play big. Hopefully the Apaches can get healthy during the upcoming bye week and get ready to host Jonesboro Hodge on 10/30. It will be payback from last year’s game for the Apaches. Come pack the stands for this outstanding group of players!!
In an odd Thursday night game, the North Webster Knights hosted the defending state champion Sterlington Panthers. The Knights received the opening kickoff and couldn’t get much going against a stingy Panther defense. They were forced to punt where Sterlington took over near their own 25 yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, Javion Hawthorne ripped the ball from Sterlington’s quarterback. The big nose tackle, Bryce Parish, fell on the loose ball to give the ball back to the Knights. After a couple of inside runs, the Knights attempted a pass that fell incomplete to the turf. On fourth down, the home team attempted a 32 yard field goal that missed wide right. The score remained knotted at 0. Sterlington took over on their own 22 yard line and began a fourteen play drive that resulted in a rushing touchdown from one yard out. The extra point made the score 7-0. The Knights were unable to get anything going on offense and were once again forced to punt to begin the second quarter.
On the punt, Sterlington was flagged for roughing the kicker. North Webster retained the ball with a first down. After a good run on first down, the Knights attempted a pass on second down that went off the hands of the receiver into the waiting arms of Sterlington’s safety who returned the pick for a touchdown. However, one of the officials had inadvertently blown his whistle indicating the play was dead. The ruling was that the play was to be replayed with the score wiped off the board. The Knights were able to pick up a first down then were flagged for a penalty. The offense couldn’t recover from the penalty, and the punt team was forced to trot back onto the field. After the punt, Sterlington took over at their own 21 with a little over seven minutes left in the half. Sterlington had another long drive down the field. Thirteen plays took about six minutes off the clock, and the Panthers scored a touchdown on a short pass in the flats. The Knights were flagged on the extra point, so Sterlington elected to go for two. The try was successful making the score 15-0 with about two minutes left in the half. Halftime came with the score 15-0 in favor of Sterlington.
Sterlington received the opening kickoff of the second half. They returned the kickoff out to their own 42 where the offense took over. Seven plays and 2:10 of clock time later they scored their third touchdown of the night against a tired Knights’ defense. The extra point made the score 22-0. The Panthers kicked off to the Knights who were forced into another three and out. The punt gave Sterlington the ball back at their own 30 yard line with 7:05 left in the 3rd period. Two plays later, Sterlington scored on a 60 yard dive play. With the extra point, the score was 29-0 in the third. The Knights fumbled the kickoff and Sterlington recovered at the North Webster 38 yard line. It took the defending state champs about five plays to score again to make the score 36-0. Sterlington attempted an onside kick which the Knights recovered at their own 47 yard line. Then, on a 3rd down and 6, quarterback Justin Stewart found receiver Braylon Washington on a 49 yard catch and run for a touchdown. The extra point made the score 36-7 still in the 3rd period. Sterlington had a nice kick return out to the Knights’ forty yard line, and five plays later, they scored again to make the score 43-7.
The ensuing kickoff began the final period. The Knights seemed to have something going on offense until a pass found its way into the hands of a Sterlington linebacker who took it all the way to the end zone. That made the score 50-7 which would be the final. Next week, the Knights continue district play traveling to Richwood for a 7:00 kickoff. These last three games could determine whether the Knights host a playoff game in round one or if they are left out of the playoff picture, so all fans are encouraged to come out and support these young men as they fight for a win at Richwood.

Drawing of water tank which will be constructed on Clerk Street property owned by the City of Minden.
By Bonnie Culverhouse
During a special council meeting Monday afternoon, not only did attending councilpersons vote to issue bonds to pay for Recreation Complex enhancement, they also voted unanimously to amend the 2025-2026 budget in order to begin building a 2 million gallon water tank for the City of Minden.
“We’re ready to build the thing,” Minden Mayor Nick Cox said. “This amendment allocates the funds – we didn’t put it in our budget at all because we didn’t know about the timing.”
In April, 2025, Minden City Council agreed unanimously to advertise for bids to build the tank, which will be around 35-feet tall, round and built on-site. Bids should come in around $3.4M.
“We are going out for bids soon,” Cox said. “I would like for us to start construction in December.”
“It’s about a year-long project,” Public Works Director Tyler Wallace said in a previous interview.
He explained citizens use about 2.5 to 3 million gallons of water per day. “If something catastrophic happens, we could last a day with this new tank. If something happened today, we’d last a half a day.”
Cox said the project will not cost the residents any money.
“It is a state capital outlay project,” he said. “We were awarded 100 percent of the funds.”
(Editor’s Note: In a capital outlay project or a state grant, funds can only be used on the project for which they were approved. The money first comes from the City’s budget and is reimbursed by the State.)
Brad Dison signs a book for Kathy Dumas during the “Night at the Museum” program on Monday evening at the Dorcheat Historical Association Museum in Minden.
By Marilyn Miller
“The Trap,” is the “untold story of Sheriff Henderson Jordan and his pursuit of Bonnie and Clyde. The author, Brad Dison, entertained a group gathered at the Dorcheat Historical Association Museum on Monday, Oct. 13, 2025.
Sheriff Jordan is relatively Ignored by authors, historians and filmmakers…but “The Trap” sets the story straight, Dison told the interested crowd. ”The 1970 film ‘Bonnie & Clyde’ was an entertaining film (starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway). In fact, it won two Oscars. But not one of them was for accuracy.”
“You see, Hollywood has absolutely no responsibility for historical facts.” Dison said. And the public doesn’t realize that. The writer related a time when he and a Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow “fan” were discussing the couple. When the man told him “I know all about Bonnie and Clyde…I’ve seen the movie 12 times,” Dison walked away.
So, Dison asked his “Night at the Museum” audience, “How many times was Sheriff Henderson Jordan mentioned in the film?”
He wasn’t.
“My priority is facts…and that’s why we are here today.
In another movie, starring Woody Harrelson, Sheriff Jordan has a Cajun accent. “Now Sheriff Jordan was a lifelong resident of Bienville Parish, the same parish I have always lived in. His accent was the same as mine…and I couldn’t even do a fake Cajun accent.”
A teenage Henderson Jordan worked with his father in the cattle business in Bienville Parish before going off to college and earning his degree. He returned home and began working in the tax collection division of the Bienville Parish Sheriff’s Office. Pretty soon, Sheriff J.E. Currie realized what investigative skills Jordan had, and he became Sheriff Currie’s right-hand man. Currie had served as sheriff from 1908 until 1932, when Jordan (Jer-den) was elected.
Dison used slides to track the notorious outlaws, who killed 12 men and stole more than 60 automobiles during their reign of terror in the midwestern and southeastern United States. Within two weeks of Sheriff Jordan taking office in Bienville Parish, Clyde Barrow escaped from the McLennan County Jail in Waco, Texas, and his hook-up with Bonnie Parker and their crime spree began. Among the crimes they committed were burglary, armed robbery, bank robbery, kidnapping, torture, auto theft, and murder.
Dison’s slides tracked the car thefts, most which took place in and around Illinois and Oklahoma. At one point, authorities tracked a prescription bottle found in one of the vehicles. It was filled in Nacogdoches, Texas for Clyde Barrow’s aunt. Auto theft spree solved! Inside Dison’s book are three QR codes mapping out the auto thefts and other documents, death certificates, photographs and more material relating to the gang.
Texas Ranger Frank Hammer has been credited with planning the initial ambush on Bonnie and Clyde. However, when the Barrow gang made it into north Louisiana, Jordan actually planned three different traps to catch them.
The first was in Bienville Parish. Evidently, Barrow and his gang found out about the trap, so it was a bust. No Texas officers were involved in the take-down.
“Henderson Jordan set Trap No. 2 when he learned that the gang was planning to rob First National Bank in downtown Arcadia,” Dison told the crowd. “He (Sheriff Jordan) had his well-armed deputies hidden in and around the bank. Problem was, Bonnie, Clyde and Henry Methvin stopped in Shreveport to get food at the Majestic Café (most recently Pano’s Diner, which closed in 2013).”
Now everyone knew what Bonnie and Clyde looked like – their pictures were widely distributed. So, they couldn’t go into the café, they had to stay in the car. “While they were in there, something spooked Clyde, and he drove off.”Majestic Diner was just a block from where Bonnie and Clyde were sitting. That could have prompted Clyde to drive away. Or, Dison said, it could have been a plan by Methvin to separate himself from the gang. Whatever the reason, Trap No. 2 failed. And no Texas officers were on site.
“Then came Trap No. 3. This was the one by Sailes, a famous spot now. We all know that Trap No. 3 succeeded. Who planned this trap?? According to everybody involved, Henderson Jordan planned this trap. Henderson Jordan led this trap. His third trap successfully ended the crime spree of Bonnie and Clyde.”
“Had Sheriff Henderson Jordan not been successful, more people certainly would have died”, author Brad Dison said, showing a list of the 12 people killed by the gang. “They were getting more desperate each passing day…every time they heard a branch crack…every time they heard a whistle. Can you imagine the paranoia they lived with. They were ready to fire at the drop of a hat at anything that moved.”
“Henderson Jordan was the only member of the six-man posse who had to answer for his actions in court, and he almost lost his freedom over it. Now how did that happen?”
