Kaplan, Delcambre win in Week 3

LAGRANGE - The Kaplan Pirates got the victory they needed on Friday.
The Pirates crushed LaGrange 40-14 to improve to 1-2.
Kaplan head coach Cory Brodie was happy to get that first win in 2022.
“It is a breath of fresh air,” said Brodie.
The Pirates rushed for a season-high 394 yards.
Caden Campisi had a season-high performance, rushing for 269 yards on 26 yards a carry. He scored three touchdowns.
He had TD runs of 5-.1- and 53-yards.
At halftime, the Pirates led 24-6.
Campisi had a 5-yard TD run and 1-yard run TD run, while Bradyn Bearb had a six-yard TD run in the first half.
Bearb finished with 13 carries for 81 yards and a score.
Jed Devoltz had five carries for 28 yards.
LaGrange did have success passing the football, throwing for 259 yards.
Campisi capped off his night with a 53-yard TD run with eight minutes to play in the game.
Kaplan is on the road Friday to battle Rayne.

Delcambre.........13
Pope John Paul ..9

The Delcambre Panthers scored the game-winning touchdown with around three minutes to play in the game.
Parker LeBlanc scored the TD from 20 yards away, giving Delcambre the 13-9 win.
The Panthers improved to 2-1, and Pope John Paul dropped to 0-3.
Delcambre head coach Artie Lizzua saw that Pope John Paul had an 0-2 record coming into the game. Their record did not fool him because he knew the team from Slidell had twice as many players as Delcambre. While Delcambre’s players played on offense and defense, Pope John Paul’s players only played one way.
“I was worried about them wearing us down,” said Liuzza. “They like to play ball control, and getting the ball back was going to be tough.”
The game was tied 0-0 at halftime, and the Panthers were down 9-7 going into the fourth period.
“We did wear down but got new life in the fourth quarter. We played gutsy,” said the Delcambre coach.
LeBlanc ran for 91 yards, while Jaxon Wiggins had 105 yards rushing.
Trevor Viator had two interceptions.
