When asked Blake Saddler, “Who is Blake Saddler?” The Abbeville senior tailback had an answer.
“I am the GOAT,” replied Saddler after Abbeville crushed Richwood 53-22 in the first round of the Class 3A playoffs. “I am unstoppable.”
Let’s be clear. Saddler is not saying he is a goat who can run fast. He said he is “The G.O.A.T.”
The word G.O.A.T. stands for Greatest of All Time. Professional athletes such as N.F.L. quarterback Tom Brady or N.B.A. legend Michael Jordan are the G.O.A.T.s in their sports.
Saddler has the stats to back up his G.O.A.T. status.

Vermilion Catholic graduate Ethan Lege, who is playig baseball for Delgado University in New Orleans, signed a National Letter of Intent Wednesday to formalize his commitment to transfer to Ole Miss to continue his baseball career for the 2022-2023 academic year.
Lege was joined by his family and friends to sign the agreement in the Delgado Student Life Center.

A second-round home game would have been great for the Abbeville Wildcats (10-1), but the chips did not fall in the Wildcats’ favor.
Instead, they have to travel four hours to Monroe to battle No. 18 Wossman, who beat No. 15 Erath.
Had Erath won, the Bobcats would have played the Wildcats in Abbeville.
Abbeville head coach Roderick Moy would have loved to have a home game on Friday, but he will settle for still being alive for another one.
