LeBlanc has big shoes to fill as QB for Delcambre

Fri, 07/30/2021 - 12:10pm

DELCAMBRE - Parker LeBlanc has some big shoes to fill.
LeBlanc, a junior, steps into the quarterback position filled for the past couple of years by Kalob Moneaux. Moneaux helped lead the Panthers into the Class 2A playoffs last year. Unfortunately, they ran into a Kinder team that had several players from Barbe who transferred in due to the effects of two hurricanes that pummeled the Lake Charles area.
But Moneaux has graduated from DHS, so the a Panthers are now LeBlanc’s team.

E.J. Chiasson returns at VC’s center.

Chiasson: VC’s lone returning offensive lineman

Vermilion Catholic High center E.J. Chiasson may have to wear a name tag for a while so that his fellow offensive linemen know who he is.
Last season, as a junior, he was surrounded by seniors to his left and his right during the Eagles’ semifinal run in the Division IV playoffs.
As the only returning member of the offensive line, Chiasson becomes the most experienced and elder statesman of a new group of linemen for the 2021 version of Vermilion Catholic football.
