DELCAMBRE - The Delcambre Panthers had to wait a week before they opened the 2017 season because of Hurricane Harvey. That wait seemed to affect the Panthers on Friday.
“It hurt us,” said Broussard. “We had no practice. I am not making excuses, but I feel losing that week set us back. Our guys came out and fought hard tonight.”
Most teams played last week, but South Cameron, Delcambre’s first game, had to cancel the game.
On Friday against a bigger and faster Oberlin Tigers, the Panthers dropped a 44-6 decision.
