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.

KAPLAN - The Kaplan Pirates ran for 362 yards en route to a 48-16 road victory over the North Vermilion Patriots at Ed Douglas Memorial Stadium on Friday.
