The Abbeville Wildcats find themselves where no Wildcat team has been before.
The 2021 Wildcats are 6-1 with three games remaining and they find themselves in great shape when it comes to making a first round home playoff game.
In the latest unofficial power rankings, the Wildcats are at No. 3 in the Class 3A power rankings.
If the playoffs were held today, Abbeville would host the first round playoff game. That has not occured in more than 15 years.

The Erath High Hall of Fame Committee named the three athletes who are selected into the 2021 Erath High Athletic Hall of Fame.
Two played in the 1990s, while another played in the late 1960s.
They are Monica Blancas Broussard, Kayla Primeaux Soirez and Garlen Suire.
The induction ceremony will be held Thursday at the Community Center and they will be recoginized at Friday’s football game.

ERATH - Offense, offense, and more offense. That is what usually comes up when one talks about the Erath Bobcats football team.
It is common to hear things like, “That Lynkon Romero kid can throw the football.”
“Who is Erath’s best receiver?”
Seldom does one talk about the Erath defense. The defense never gets mentioned because they have been giving up a lot of points each game. Yet, despite that, the Bobcats continue to win.
They have now won four straight, including Friday night’s 35-24 thriller against the Kaplan Pirates.
