EDITOR’S NOTE: Eunice News sports writer John Burson and sports editor Tom Dodge combined for this story.
NEW ORLEANS – It may be difficult to say defense wins championships after Eunice High’s 59-47 victory over Sterlington Friday in the Class 3-A title game.
But Bobcat head coach Paul Trosclair said the defense was the key to the win as the Bobcats (13-2) slowed down the Panthers (12-3) in the second half to give the offense a chance.
“I thought we’d have a problem stopping them, but I didn’t know we’d have to score so many points to win,” Troslcair said.
