HAMMOND – Zeke Jones scored two touchdowns in a brief appearance and freshman Jae Cutno caught a team-high four passes for 78 yards and a touchdown as the Southeastern Louisiana University football team held its first controlled scrimmage on Saturday in Strawberry Stadium.

Tyler Beatty, directing the No. 1 offense, completed 8 of 14 passes for 119 yards while B.J. Young, in charge of the No. 2 offense, went 6-for-9 for 43 yards while scoring on a 3-yard scamper. Ron Walker, a former Archbishop Shaw product and transfer from Northern Illinois, scored on a 91-yard kickoff return.
