BATON ROUGE - For the second consecutive year, the Kaplan Pirates defeated the Class 1A Southern Lab Kittens. The Pirates outscored Southern Lab 13-0 in the second half en route to a 27-18 win on Thursday.
With this victory, Kaplan improves to a record of 5-2, with three games remaining in the season. The Pirates will travel to Abbeville to face the Wildcats, who have a record of 2-5, in the district opener for both teams. That game is scheduled for Thursday.

The Vermilion Catholic Lady Eagles traveled across town and swept the Abbeville Lady Wildcats on Thursday, 25-16, 25-19, 25-16.
While VC got the win, Abbeville kept it interesting in all three sets. Lady Eagles head coach Kristin Son acknowledged the Lady Cats improvement. She felt that caught her team off guard.
“They were really scrappy,” Son said. “They were much better than last time we played. That threw us off in the beginning. We need to be able to play good, clean vo

ERATH - With four games remaining in the regular season, the chatter has already begun in Erath. There is a talk that the Bobcats (6-0) are in great shape to finish the year 10 -0.
Since the Bobcats have been playing high school football, starting in 1953, no team has gone 10-0. There have been a couple nine-win seasons but no perfect season.
The reason there is chatter is because three out of the next four Erath’s opponents have losing records.
The Bobcats travel to Berwick, who is 1-5 this year. Berwick lost to Hanson (26-3), Kaplan (49-0) and Morgan City (40-14).
