One step closer to the regular season.

Cedar Creek plays its final tuneup before the start of the 2023 regular season when the Cougars face Mangham at 8 p.m. tonight at Rebel Stadium in West Monroe in the Bayou Jamb jamboree.

The contest will kickoff following the Jonesboro-Hodge vs. St. Frederick contest which begins at 6 p.m. as gates open at 5 p.m.

Creek’s game was originally slated for Saturday at 3 p.m. but was moved due to the extreme record-setting temperatures that have baked north Louisiana over the last 10 days.

All tickets for Saturday’s scheduled games that were moved to tonight will be honored, including VIP tickets, online tickets, and tickets purchased at the school. Fans can still purchase walk-up tickets all three days at the gate for $15.

The Cougars scrimmaged at Lakeside last Friday night, controlling both side of the football. However, head coach William Parkerson hopes to see some improvement both offensively and defensively against a athletic Mangham squad tonight.

Cedar Creek opens the regular season Friday, Sept. 1 when it hosts Glenbrook at 7 p.m. at the recently resurfaced Cougar Stadium.
