The Eunice High Lady Cats softball program is used to pretty high standards. It’s been a steady and at times great program. They qualified for the state tournament within the last decade. But, with the departure of previous head coach Trenon Trosclair from the program, the Lady Cats opted for Katie Bertrand to lead them.

Seventh and eighth graders took the diamond for St. Edmund’s Lady Jays Wednesday, with just a few upper class-men sprinkled in, to take on Basile in summer softball league action. Hosted at the Eunice Rec, the June contests are meant to help local coaches see what kind of lineups they have to work with for the upcoming season. Lady Jay Head Coach David Ardoin wanted to see if his less seasoned players could give a boost to his roster, so he sent in some new faces to gain valuable experience.

St Edmund High School’s baseball team tangled with the Iota High Bulldogs earlier this week in summer play, giving both teams the chance to preview their upcoming season. Blue Jay Head Baseball Coach Casey Charlie said that so far, it’s been a rainy summer, making it difficult for his team to spend quality time on the field. Charlies said his team was excited that a break in the wet weather allowed them to host visiting Iota on Tuesday.
