CHURCH POINT –When you face all four teams that advanced to the Class 3-A state semifinals, you know you had a tough schedule.
That’s exactly what the Church Point last season as the Bears beat Kaplan (30-24 and Eunice (22-20) but lost to Iota (15-12) for the district title and Sterlington (57-56) in the second round of the playoffs.
With Class 3-A state champion Eunice moving up to 4-A, the Bears could be one of the favorites to battle for the district title this season.

Their high school careers will be remembered for their accomplishments as stellar athletes and quality individuals.
The Eunice News 2019 Athletes of the Year are Eunice High’s Stacie White and Carlin Vigers long with St. Edmund’s Avery McGee and Brad Miller.
All four were nominated by their respective athletic directors as their school’s top athletes.
