Saddler declares himself as the GOAT at Abbeville High

Sat, 11/13/2021 - 9:55am

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.

Wildcats win opener, next game on the road

Fri, 11/12/2021 - 11:43pm

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.

Delcambre wants to continue magical year

Thu, 11/11/2021 - 1:23pm

DELCAMBRE - The 2021 Delcambre Panther football team may not be a team of destiny, but it will go down in history for many different reasons.
For one thing, there was the upset win over Catholic High in the fourth week of the season, the first time that DHS beat CHS since the 1990’s
Secondly, there is the fact that Delcambre finished the regular season with a winning record for the first time since joining the Class 2A ranks in 2011 and for the first time as a Class 2A school. DHS was briefly a member of Class 2A in the 1980s.
