A triple dose of turnovers spelled disaster for the Franklin Parish Patriots on Friday night as Rayville left Winnsboro with a 38-6 victory.

Franklin Parish (0-3) fumbled the ball on their first possession and Rayvilleís Quinton Griffin scooped it up and rumbled 15 yards for the gameís first score. Rayville led 6-0 after the failed PAT.

Quarterback LaQuinton Lawson found LSU commitment Kenny Bell deep in the endzone on the next series for a 22-yard touchdown strike to give Rayville the 12-0 advantage.

The Patriots got on the board following the Bell score when running back Tony Shaw broke free on a 39-yard run to cut the Rayville lead to 18-6 after one quarter of action.
