If fishermen are known for stretching the truth, then the first official kayak renters at Eunice City Lake may have already earned a spot in local legend. The story begins the way most fishing tales do — with two friends, a boat, a dream and a stubborn determination to find “the perfect spot.” When Eunice City Lake recently launched its new kayak rental service, Myles Woods and his fishing partner, Clarence Arceneaux, were among the first to answer the call of the wild water.

Lady Cats of the week
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.
