Hoping to find some stability and jump-start its youth recreation program, the City of Abbeville signed a three-year contract with Quality Sports Authority (QSA) in early 2017, and the city is now looking at a possible renewal.
As part of the agreement, the city paid QSA, the non-profit organization based in Erath, $75,000 each year to handle baseball, softball, basketball, soccer, tennis and any other sport approved for boys and girls by the city council.

UPDATE: The ALL CLEAR has been given in all schools in Erath.
Officials will begin the process of getting students back to their classes

Public Information Officer Drew David with the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office is reporting that their office is assisting the Erath Police Department with an alleged bomb threat within the city limits of Erath.
The Sheriff's Office made one sweep of the schools and could not find any bomb. They are conducting a second sweep of the schools as of 11 a.m.

Walk into North Vermilion High School, and you will see a bunch of shoes stacked up against the wall. It looks like North Vermilion has a shoe drive. But if you go closer to the shoes, you will learn they are not real shoes.
Instead, the shoes are made of plaster and cardboard and painted to look like real shoes. The reason they are there is that they are part of a sculpture created by the four art classes at North Vermilion. The sculpture will be on display by the office for the next couple of weeks.
