The final football game of the regular season was worth waiting for if you were a Slidell Tiger.

Slidell saved one of its best and most dominating team performances for Week 10, rolling past Northshore for a 42-3 District 7-5A road victory on Nov. 7 to lock up a share of the district title.

Slidell junior Ja'Kwon Jones rushed for 235 yards on 20 carries, scoring on runs of 63, 7, 19 and 2 yards. Jones’ big night started midway through the first quarter as he took a handoff around left end and raced 63 yards to give the Tigers a lead they would not relinquish.

"I just felt right heading into tonight's big game, knowing a victory would give us a share of the district crown. My O-line did a great job of opening some big holes. The holes were big enough to drive a bus through," Jones said.
