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).

KAPLAN - The Kaplan Pirates won their homecoming game in shootout-fashion, 51-42, over the Patterson Lumberjacks Friday night at Ed Douglas Memorial Stadium.
De’Maurion Cormier carried the load for the Pirates’ rushing attack. The junior running back ran over and around Lumberjack defenders on his way to 327 yards and five touchdowns.
“Last game I got injured, so this game the beast came out of me,” Cormier said.
He was also a force on defense for the Pirates, ending the game with a quarterback sack.

If the high school football playoffs start this Friday, six out of seven parish football teams will compete. This includes the 0-6 North Vermilion Patriots.
The latest LHSAA power rankings show that six teams from the parish are ranked among the top 32. The only team not included in the top 32 is the Gueydan Bears, who compete in Division IV.
