NEW IBERIA - Summer is usually time for baseball and football workouts, but another sport gets some summer time as well.
New Iberia Senior High head boys soccer coach Casey Friend puts on a 7-on-7 soccer session that lasts through June and July. This year, both Vermilion Catholic and North Vermilion girl’s soccer teams took part in the two-month sessions that met every Wednesday.
Vermilion Catholic coach Kelli Knickerbocker divided her team into two groups so more of her players could get some summer work in.

The former Abbeville High and Delcambre High softball coach, Mark Suire, was recently named the new head coach at Hendrix College located in Conway, Arkansas.
For the last six years, Suire has been the head softball coach at Centenary University where he won more than 100 softball games.

This past weekend, the Kaplan Voodoo 12-year-old All-Stars won the Bronco South Zone Softball Tournament in Eunice. They will be playing in the PONY World Series this month in Youngsville.
