Raymond Fontenot played football under the guidance of Coach Faize Mahfouz during the Bobcat seasons of 1951-1953. Fontenot, a center, was named Honorable Mention All-State in 1953.
Fontenot now joins Mahfouz as a member of the Eunice High School Sports Hall of Fame, joining previous inductees Dana Jenkins, Joe Nagata, and Leonard Matt.
Fontenot earned his spot as both a player and an administrator, having served as Eunice High principal for 27 years.

During the summer workouts, each football team has a goal to win their respective districts and make a deep run in the playoffs.
