Giants beat Mansfield in Mud Bowl to advance to 2nd round

Jena Giant Zerrick Jones (7) shakes a Mansfield defender to sprint into the endzone and score during the first round playoff game against #23-ranked Mansfield on Friday night at Guy Campbell Memorial Stadium in Jena. The game start was delayed almost two hours due to lightning and was played in mud and under a steady rain, but the #10-ranked Giants came out victorious and will face off with #7-ranked Amite on Friday night in Amite for the second round playoff game.
