ERATH - It may have been the full moon. It may have been the emotions of the game. But, on the other hand, it may have been something else.
But whatever it was, Friday’s battle between Vermilion Parish rivals Erath and North Vermilion had both head coaches scratching their heads as the Bobcats jumped out to an early lead and held off a Patriot rally in the second half for the 31-24 win.

DELCAMBRE — Call it the “Miracle on Main.” Call it the upset of the year. Call it a shocker.
Whatever you call it, call it a Delcambre win as the Panthers stunned Catholic High 21-14 in overtime in the District 7-2A opener for both teams Thursday night.
Parker LeBlanc ran for two touchdowns, Rogan Saunier scored the winner in overtime, and the Delcambre defense stopped Catholic High inside the 1-yard line twice to claim its first win over CHS since 1995.

DELCAMBRE — It’s a rarity for a Wing-T offensive team that the quarterback is the leading rusher.
“It is,” Delcambre coach Artie Liuzza said. “But it helps if the quarterback can run. It makes us a little more two-dimensional, and he’s doing a much better job as a passer.
“When he gets this season under his belt and can grow each week, he can go into his senior year. He could be really fun to watch.”
And so, Delcambre sophomore Parker LeBlanc has already become an indispensable part of the Panther offensive attack.
