The Vermilion Catholic defense has a tough task ahead of them for the second consecutive week as they take on one of the state’s best running backs.
In the previous week, the Eagles faced Chad Elzy, a prolific running back from Ascension Catholic who had 2,600 yards rushing.
Elzy ran for 230 yards in the game, but the Eagles still won to advance to the semifinals of the playoffs.

The Eagle Nation came alive after two significant plays in the first half.
Ascension Catholic had just scored its third touchdown of the first half and was leading 22-0. However, Jyrin Bessard sparked new life into the Eagle Nation by darting 94 yards up the middle of the field for a touchdown on the ensuing kickoff after the touchdown. Dane Richoux kicked the extra point, and the Eagles were only down 22-7.

In the Division II Non-Select second round playoff game between No. 13 Abbeville Wildcats and No. 4 Lutcher, the Wildcats put up a good fight in the first half.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was tied 6-6, and Abbeville’s first touchdown was a 48-yard pass.
Despite being down 13-6 at halftime, the Wildcats were still in the game.
