For the second time in a month, Lutcher called upon the combination of Brack-to-Landry to pull out a dramatic win.

With 1.7 seconds left on the clock, Austin Brack fired a pass to Jarvis Landry on a slant and Landry powered through to cross the plane of the goalline for a 6-yard score, lifting Lutcher to an emotional victory over visiting Vandebilt Catholic, 19-16 at the Dog Yard.

“In that spot, you think of players, not plays,” said Lutcher coach Tim Detillier.

The win clinches at least a share of the District 8-4A title for Lutcher. LHS can clinch the crown outright with a win over Morgan City next week.

Vandebilt (6-2, 3-1) was on a five game winning streak entering the game, playing most of those games after a tragic automobile accident took the lives of four Vandebilt students, including the team’s starting quarterback and free safety.

“I’m proud of my kids. They showed a lot of character,” said Detillier. “I thought we had the most talented team in the field. But I feel like they had the most determined team. When it was over, I just felt so bad for them … they played with a purpose. How can you not root for Vandebilt? I truly respect what they’re doing.”

The Terriers controlled the clock in the game, holding the ball for 32:02 to Lutcher’s 15:18. LHS ran just 13 plays in the first half.

“I can’t recall a game where anything close to that has happened to us,” said Lutcher. “Just 13 plays.”

Vandebilt forced four Lutcher (8-1, 3-1) turnovers.

Brack turned in a strong effort, completing 11 of 14 passes for 142 yards and two scores, but did throw two interceptions. Landry led all receivers with nine catches for 91 yards. Vandebilt trailed 16-13 in the third quarter after Lutcher’s Jared Poche’s 23-yard touchdown pass to Daniel Taylor, but Vandebilt’s kicking game accounted for two field goals from there, including Stetson Rodrigue’s 31-yarder with 2:26 remaining that gave Vanderbilt a potential game-winning score.
