LAKE CHARLES - North Vermilion Lady Patriots head coach Jack LeBlanc is always looking for ways to improve the girls’ basketball team.
In mid-January, he saw a way. He added the Class 5A Barbe Lady Buccaneers (24-3) to the schedule. Barbe is off to a great start and is ranked in the top five of the Division I Power rankings.
On Monday, the Lady Patriots, on a 21-game winning streak and ranked No. 3 in the Division II power rankings, traveled to Barbe High to battle the Lady Buccaneers in preparation for what is about to be the most challenging part of their schedule.
Freshman Ashante Rose has helped the North Vermilion Lady Patriots win 19 games, along with having a No. 3 power ranking in the Division II.
With at least nine games left in the season, competition is intensifying for some parish basketball teams.
Girls basketball in the parish is where the action is.

Three teams would make the playoffs in boys’ action on Monday.
In girls, the Abbeville Lady Wildcats may be a Class 3A team, but when the playoffs begin, they will play in the Division II bracket, a combination of Class 4A and Class 3A teams.
