Delcambre off to 3-0 start for first time since 1999

DELCAMBRE - The Delcambre Panthers find themselves in a place they have not been in since the 1999 football season.
Delcambre, under new head coach Cory Brodie, is off to a 3-0 start. The last time a Delcambre team began the year 3-0 was in 1999 under former Delcambre head coach Mike Delcambre.
“It feels good to be 3-0,” said Brodie.
The 2025 Panthers will look for their fourth win on Thursday when they host Vinton (2-1). The game will be played on Thursday, starting at 7 p.m.
If the Panthers win Game 4, it will be the first time a Delcambre football team has begun 4-0 since the 1992 season, when Delcambre went 10-0 under former head coach Mike Delcambre.
Coach Brodie is not overlooking Vinton by any means.
“They are probably the best team we played so far,” said Coach Brodie. “
One reason Vinton is good is because of running back  Jaidon Briggs. Briggs rushed for 1,700 yards last year. In Vinton’s 48-22 loss to Hamilton Christian, Briggs had his 10th consecutive 100-yard rushing game. Briggs (5-10, 160 pounds)  rushed for 142 yards on 20 carries.
The Panthers have moved the football successfully in three games. Against Beau Chene, Delcambre punted for the first time in three games.
They have successfully moved the football behind their running game.
One of the first things Coach Brodie did when he arrived at Delcambre was to install the “Gun T” offense. Coach Brodie borrowed the offense from head coach Brent Indest, who had once run the Wing-T offense at Catholic High in New Iberia, Abbeville, Crowley, and Kaplan.
Indest is coaching at Broadmore High School on the east end of the state, and Coach Brodie was his assistant coach before moving to Delcambre. 
The Gun T spread offense allows for more movement, enabling receivers and running backs to dart to the outside instead of running straight up the middle.
Leading the Panthers’ rushing is senior Hugo Morales. 
Morales ran for a season high 261 yards and scored three touchdowns in the Beau Chene win. This year, he now has 489 yards rushing on 45 carries. He has rushed for seven touchdowns.
Delcambre quarterback Rix Robin has only completed passes for 103 yards or 34 yards per catch.
