COLUMBIA — D’Iberville got perhaps the biggest road win of the Josh Ladner era Friday night.

The Warriors went on the road to perennial state power Columbia and whipped the Wildcats in fine fashion 51-15.

D’Iberville was coming off a 3-7 season under Ladner last year, who is in his third season at the helm of the Warriors.

Jayquan Havard rushed for 155 yards and one touchdown in the win for the Warriors. Jaylen Jones ran for 90 yards and scored three rushing touchdowns, and Andre Crosby added a touchdown run as well plus he caught three passes for 96 yards with another score and returned a kick 97 yards for a third touchdown.

Defensively, Josh Johnson recorded eight tackles, had one pass deflection and a forced fumble in the winning Warrior effort.

Columbia is just a year removed from winning its second Class 4A South State championship in three seasons.
