High school football: North Webster hosting 7on7 tournament Saturday

by Russell Hedges

North Webster is hosting the first Main Street Invitational 7v7 Tournament Saturday.

Teams competing along with the host Knights are Haughton, LaGrange, Booker T. Washington, Homer, Calvary Baptist, Magnolia (Ark.), Huntington, Woodlawn and Carroll.

Action is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. in Baucum-Farrar Stadium and the practice field.

7-on-7 tournaments have been a summer staple for teams preparing for the fall season for decades. 

The games involve mostly passing but handoffs are allowed behind the line of scrimmage. 

Players wear helmets, t-shirts and shorts. Tackles are made by pulling a flag.

The games, which last about 20 minutes, are generally played on a 40-yard field. First downs can be made by reaching the 25 and 10.

Blocking is not allowed and quarterbacks must get of passes within 4 seconds. 

Teams can score points with touchdowns. There can go for a 1-point conversion at the 5 or a 2-point conversion at the 10.

The defense can score points with interceptions and stops.

North Webster competed in the 25-team Charity Invitational Presented by the Louisiana National Guard last week at Freedom Fields in Bossier City.

Haughton, Homer, Calvary Baptist and Huntington also competed.

The schedule is below.
