Two Vermilion Parish athletes had breakout seasons
First, a 5-8, junior baseball player missed most of his sophomore season due to COVID-19. In John Touchet’s first full varsity season, he helped the North Vermilion Patriots win a Class 4A state baseball title by posting an 11-0 record on the hill.
Then, up the road, a freshman shortstop burst onto the scene for the Kaplan Lady Pirates. Fortunately for Kaplan, this shortstop did not play or hit like a rookie.

The Acadiana Cane Cutters did well batting and pitching against the Baton Rouge Rougarou in Sunday’s game. The Cane Cutters defeated the Rougarou 6-1 Sunday, bringing their overall record to 8-10 on the season and making it their third win in a row against Baton Rouge.
Acadiana will be heading back on the road Tuesday to face the Rougarou again in Baton Rouge.
For the second straight summer, VC graduate Ethan Lege (Degaldo) is a member of the Cane Cutters.
He is doing well.

It is not every day you have to move your wedding up a couple of weeks because there is a good chance you were going to make the Olympic Trials, which was the same weekend as the first wedding date.
But that is what Claire Meyers Armstrong had to do recently.
Claire Meyers Armstrong and Caleb Armstrong moved their marriage date up to June 5 because the original date of June 25 was the same date of the javelin competition for the Olympic Trials in Oregon.
