The Eunice Bobcats are much closer to being a good football team than the one their 0-4 record indicates. It’s a team that has showed up to play week in and week out. Outside of Week 2’s 34-0 loss to the Jennings Bulldogs, each of Eunice’s losses have come by one touchdown.

Things have been rolling for St. Ed’s so far in 2024. The Blue Jays are 4-0 far this year, have scored over 200 points offensively and have given up less than 60 defensively. St. Ed’s key players have yet to be tested into the fourth quarter this season. It all looks tremendous on paper, and it is.

By Rhett Manuel Sports Editor In the history of Eunice High football, there are a few phrases that evoke memories of eras past. “The Hide” is a play synonymous with the 1997 team’s run to the state finals. The Cardiac Cats are 1998’s state finalist that had a knack for a comeback.

By Rhett Manuel Sports Editor It’s been a historic three-week start for the St. Ed’s Blue Jays football team. Expected to be a good offensive football team, it’s a fair assumption that no one was quite expecting what they’ve shown so far in the 2024 season.
