Three Vermilion Parish teams will make the playoffs

On Sunday, the LHSAA will release the high school playoffs, and three Vermilion Parish teams are in.
Those teams are Abbeville High (8-2), Kaplan (7-3) and Vermilion Catholic (10-0).
Abbeville is expected to be seeded No. 13 in the Division II Non-Select power rankings.
According to Geauxprep.com, at noon on Saturday, the Wildcats look like they will be playing Pearl River, ranked No. 20.
Pearl River enters the game with a 5-4 record, losing three out of its last four games. In Pearl River’s five wins, they averaged 46 points a game.
Abbeville head coach Roderick Moy said there is a chance that Abbeville’s opponent could change because some teams in the New Orleans area play on Saturday.
“I am not going to start researching Pearl River until Saturday night,” said Moy. “By then, all of the Saturday games will have been played.”
The Pirates are back in the playoffs after missing it last year.
The Pirates are expected to be No. 23 and will travel in the first round.
The Pirates won’t need to travel too far to face off against the No. 10 Jennings Bulldogs (7-3).
Jennings’ three losses this season were against Leesville (32-14), Iowa (35-28), and St. Louis (7-0).
In Division II Non-Select, North Desoto (9-1) is expected to be the top-seeded team, followed by Cecilia (9-1) at No. 2. St. Martinville, with a record of 3-7, is expected to make the playoffs, seeded at No. 26.
The Vermilion Catholic Eagles (10-0) have secured the No. 1 spot in the Select Division IV power rankings for the second year in a row.
The team will enjoy a first-round bye on Friday.
Southern Lab (8-1) is expected to be the No. 2 team, followed by defending state champions Ouachita Christian (9-1) at No. 3. St. Martin’s is at No. 4 with a record of 8-1.
In the second round, the Vermilion Catholic Eagles will play the winner of the No. 16 and No. 17 seeds.
According to Geauxprep.com’s ranking on Saturday, the winner of No. 16 Slaughter Community Charter (6-4) and No. 17 Delhi Charter (4-6) will be the Eagles’ opponent in the second round.
VC’s head coach, Broc Prejean, is looking forward to the bye week and said, “We’re excited to be able to work on us next week. We can get into the weight room, get some rehab, and get some rest and get ready for the playoffs.”
