Five out of six high school coaches moved their first game of the season to Saturday because of wet fields.
The only game still scheduled for Friday is Kaplan’s road game to Acadiana High in Scott.
Delcambre was scheduled to travel to South Cameron on Friday, but that game was completely canceled.
Tentatively, the Gueydan Bears will play against North Central on Saturday at 11 a.m. The start of the game may be pushed back, depending on the weather.
Head coach Roderick Moy said playing on Saturday gives his field another day to dry out.

Vermilion Catholic is on the road against Loreauville on Saturday at 6 p.m.
The Erath Bobcats also moved the game to Saturday at 6 p.m. EHS head coach Donald Comeaux said the field is too wet to play on as a Wednesday. He is hoping the rain will stop.
Erath opens at home against Class 2A Ascension Episcopal.
The North Vermilion Patriots not only moved the game to Saturday but also moved the location.
NV will play Beau Chene Saturday at St. Thomas More High School. Kick off is set for 4 p.m.

DELCAMBRE - You thought you had a rough five days worrying about Hurricane Harvey, think again.
Todd and Autumn Miguez of Delcambre had one of the roughest five days one could ever go through.
It all began Friday afternoon when a truck drove into a front room of their house, which is almost 100 yards off of Main Street.
The young driver missed three oak trees and plowed right into a front bed room. No one was in the bed room at the time. The driver was not injured
The truck had to be pulled out of the house.
Because of the rains from Harvey, a blue tarp was placed over the large hole and the Miguezs went to sleep next door at one of their in-law’s home.
Sunday night, the Miguez house went up in flames with no one inside the house. At least 15 fire trucks responded to the large house fire.
The flames were put out Sunday. However, between Sunday night and Monday night, two more fires ignited. The third one was Monday night when the back of the house caught fire.
The Miguez family was next door and saw the sky lighting up. They went outside and saw flames shooting out of the back of the house.
An investigation is underway on how the fire began. It is still too early to say if the truck accident on Friday had anything to do with the fire.
The Miguez house is a popular house in Delcambre because of all the Christmas decorations placed in the front yard.
All the Christmas decorations were spared because they were in another building.
