The Erath Bobcats head to Wildcat Stadium with the hopes of getting a victory over the Abbeville Wildcats (1-8), which guarantees them part of the District 6-3A title.
District football title and Erath have not been mentioned in the same sentence since 1998.
That is the last time the Bobcats won a district title, and Jacob Byler was the head coach at EHS.
If Erath beats Abbeville, they would be at least tide with Kaplan for the title. Both teams would finish the regular season 3-1.

LEROY – The North Vermilion Patriots would like to make a habit of state playoff action.
They wouldn’t mind achieving the consistency enjoyed by the Eunice Bobcats, last year’s LHSAA Class 3A champions and a 4A hopeful this season.
What they got instead on Friday night was a lesson in just how quickly opportunity can slip away.
The Patriots served up four turnovers – all of which were turned into opposing touchdowns – to pave the way to a 57-19 home loss to Eunice.

ERATH - The Erath Bobcats had the ball bounce their way Friday night against the Crowley Gents.
The Bobcats were around Crowley’s 5-yard line with nine seconds remaining in the game when the miracle happened.
Erath High’s backup quarterback Ryan Richard, playing in place of the injured Luke LeBlanc, got the ball and went around to try and run it into the end zone. However, he was hit, and the football popped out of hands and rolled into the end zone.
