Last year, Cedar Creek traveled to Lakeside for a preseason scrimmage.

This year the Warriors will return the favor.

The Cougars will host their Webster Parish foes tonight at 6 p.m. at Cougar Field at Origin Bank Stadium in the final scrimmage prior to next Friday’s Bayou Jamb match-up against OCS.

Head coach William Parkerson said following last week’s intrasquad scrimmage that he has certain things he hopes to accomplish in tonight’s first action against players not wearing Cougars across their jerseys.

“Defensively are we going to get 11 hats to the ball,” said Parkerson. “First thing we do every day is the pursuit drill. So is that going to carry over. And then offensively can we control the line of scrimmage and get that inside run game going.”

Cedar Creek opens its regular season Sept. 6 at Delhi Charter.
