What to watch

Tensas narrowly beat Plain Dealing 16-14 in last year’s meeting (Sept. 6, 2024), a one-score game that could fuel a rivalry rematch. Plain Dealing is looking to respond after opening the season with a loss, while Tensas enters the contest with a fresh slate. Expect a physical, low-margin game — small rosters and familiar opponents often make for tight territory battles.
