High School Sports

Basile – St. Edmund.
That’s all that needs to be said as the Blue Jays visit rival Basile Friday night.

Eunice is undefeated after three weeks as the Bobcat nation celebrated wins over Opelousas, Jennings and Rayne.

BEAU CHENE -- The Pine Prairie Panthers trounced the Beau Chene Gators 34-7 in a highly physical brawl to pick up their first win after a rough start to the season.

Coach Matt Desormeaux’s Ascension Episcopal Blue Gator took momentum from a 95-yard drive and opted to go for the win instead of overtime Friday night here at Patriots Stadium. And boy did the gamble pay off.

GUEYDAN - Could history be in the making at Gueydan High School this football season?
The Bears have improved to 3-0 after crushing South Cameron, 34-0, in a Thursday night game in Gueydan.

The VC Eagles beat parish rival, the Erath’s Bobcats, 34-11, on Friday.

The Abbeville Wildcats needed to beat the Jeanerette Tigers on Friday.
The week before, the Wildcats committed 11 turnovers and were beaten badly by Church Point.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Outweighed on both sides of the line, it mattered not to the Pios lined up against their bigger opponents. The outcome was typical of most past football games against Teurlings.

In a game that featured two 2-0 teams, Iota turned a 21-21 halftime tie into a runaway win, 42-21, thanks to a staunch defense led by the pass rushing of Tayte Langley (2 sacks) and a motivated group of run defenders.

If the field conditions were decent, Crowley High coach Jeptha Wall pretty much figured his Gents’ home contest against Cecilia Friday evening could possibly turn into a shootout.
They were and it was.
