Things are going according to the plan for the Erath Bobcats.
Heading into the Eunice Bobcat (1-1) game on Friday, the EHS Bobcats are 2-0, just like a year ago.
In 2024, Erath entertained Eunice and came away with a 28-21 victory.
This year, Erath would love start the year 3-0 with a win over Eunice. However, Erath head coach Eric LeBlanc is not taking Eunice too lightly. The 2024 Eunice Bobcats finished 2-8. Already, the 2025 Eunice team is 1-1. They lost this past Friday to Jennings 22-16, but beat Northwest 16-14 to open the season.

The Abbeville Lady Wildcats dropped a three-set decision, 15-25, 14-25, 12-25, to the Acadiana Lady Rams at home on Wednesday.
The Lady Cats (0-3) went toe-to-toe with the 5A school early in each set, but the depth and experience of Acadiana proved to be too much.  
 Head coach Madison Trahan was happy with the effort her team 
“This was one of the better games we’ve played so far,” Trahan said.  “We moved our feet, we communicated, and we had some really good rallies.  “It’s not the outcome we wanted, but they played hard and I’m impressed.”
