One thing about Eunice High’s 2024 season has never been in doubt. The Bobcats’ disappointing 2-8 record where they missed the postseason was in no way, shape or form indicative of the standard for the program. It’s a standard where anything less than a district title is a disappointment.

It’s one of those things that you don’t really put much stock into until you have to put much stock into it. Kind of one of those things you took for granted as always being available. Ever since GeauxPreps.

It’s hotter than it’s ever been as July flips into August. But that can mean only one thing for the sports calendar. Football is around the corner and for St. Edmund Blue Jay head coach James Shiver it means starting fall camp as soon as allowed.

Bobcat quarterback Brown brings experience to the field

A quarterback can be as talented as he wants to be. He can have all the size, speed, arm strength and natural ability he wants. However, at the end of the day, the position separates the elite from the talented with one intangible factor … Experience.

Blue Jays hone skills with summer 7-on-7 games

St. Ed’s head football coach James Shiver is all-in on the idea of 7-on-7. He throws his team neck-deep into the mud of the local 7-on-7 circuit throughout the summer in preparation for the upcoming football season. His philosophy is simple.
A Eunice High defender makes a move to defend a pass during Eunice High’s 7-on-7 scrimmage with Sacred Heart on Wednesday. The 7-on-7 format typically involves 20-minute games where teams only are allowed to pass but aren’t allowed to pass rush. It’s meant to give wide receivers, quarterbacks and defensive backs more extensive reps. (Photos by Dwight Jodon)

The old saying is that “legends never die.” In a way, it’s a false pretense. Everyone does eventually pass away. However, the saying does give credence to the idea of leaving a legacy.

Bobcat football looks for a reset

Thursday, July 3, 2025
Once in every 20 years, a phenomenon occurs in our small town. Hailey’s Comet it isn’t. But nonetheless, it’s a rare occurrence that serves as a reset for Eunice Bobcat football. It’s the rare losing season. The type of gut check that can only happen when a program is used to consistent success.
