The North Vermilion Patriots advanced to the quarterfinal round of the Division III playoffs after nipping David Thibodaux High School 1-0 on Thursday.
The match had to be moved to Teurlings High because of a wet field at NV.
The Patriots and David Thibodaux are no strangers to one another. They played one another earlier in the season, and NV won 5-0.
Thursday’s match would be tougher this time around.

Vermilion Catholic head soccer coach Travis Blaize keeps reminding his soccer team, every time they do something great, it is a milestone for the soccer program.
Soccer is only in its third year of existence at VC, and this year’s team is making history each time they step on the field.

The Abbeville Lady Wildcats and the Kaplan Lady Pirates made plans to meet Saturday night to settle who will be declared the outright District 6-3A champs. The plans were made Friday morning before their final regular-season game was played
Their thought was that Kaplan was going to beat Crowley and Abbeville would handle David Thibodaux High, and both teams would finish 8-2 in the district; the Saturday game would’ve broken the tie.
But, like in life, athletics does not go as planned.
