Abbeville records second shutout

Mon, 09/27/2021 - 10:11am

LAFAYETTE - The Abbeville Wildcats improved to 4-0 after whipping the Class 4A Northside Vikings 25-0 on Friday.
While the offense has been scoring points and hogging the limelight, the Wildcats’ defense is looking for some love.
When the game ended, the defense celebrated probably more than the offense because it meant the defense pitched its second straight shutout. For the last eight quarters, no one has scored on Abbeville’s defense.
For a defender, that is like a pitcher throwing a no-hitter in baseball.

Eagles bounce back with impressive win

Mon, 09/27/2021 - 10:07am

It may have been the best game the Vermilion Catholic Eagles played this season.
The Eagles beat Ascension Catholic out of Donaldsonville, 28-21, in front of Eagle Nation..
VC head coach Broc Prejean was glad to see the Eagles get back on track after losing to Abbeville the week before.
“This is just a credit to the kids’ resiliency and pride for our program,” said Prejean. “They showed up and made the plays. This is about as gutsy a win coming off last week as I have ever been part of.

Erath wins crazy game against North Vermilion

ERATH - It may have been the full moon. It may have been the emotions of the game. But, on the other hand, it may have been something else.
But whatever it was, Friday’s battle between Vermilion Parish rivals Erath and North Vermilion had both head coaches scratching their heads as the Bobcats jumped out to an early lead and held off a Patriot rally in the second half for the 31-24 win.

Delcambre upsets Catholic High in OT

Mon, 09/27/2021 - 10:00am

DELCAMBRE — Call it the “Miracle on Main.” Call it the upset of the year. Call it a shocker.
Whatever you call it, call it a Delcambre win as the Panthers stunned Catholic High 21-14 in overtime in the District 7-2A opener for both teams Thursday night.
Parker LeBlanc ran for two touchdowns, Rogan Saunier scored the winner in overtime, and the Delcambre defense stopped Catholic High inside the 1-yard line twice to claim its first win over CHS since 1995.

Delcambre QB leads team in rushing

Wed, 09/22/2021 - 9:12am

DELCAMBRE — It’s a rarity for a Wing-T offensive team that the quarterback is the leading rusher.
“It is,” Delcambre coach Artie Liuzza said. “But it helps if the quarterback can run. It makes us a little more two-dimensional, and he’s doing a much better job as a passer.
“When he gets this season under his belt and can grow each week, he can go into his senior year. He could be really fun to watch.”
And so, Delcambre sophomore Parker LeBlanc has already become an indispensable part of the Panther offensive attack.
