Kaplan almost pulls off great comeback

ERATH - There’s a saying in Vermilion Parish that if you get a two-touchdown lead against the Kaplan Pirates, it should be enough because the Pirates are not known for scoring quickly. However, whoever made that claim about the Pirates might want to reconsider.
The Pirates were down 14-0 with two minutes to play in the third period against the Bobcats.  But then  Kaplan tailback Braydn Bearb told his teammates right before they ran on the field at 1:58 in the third period. 
Bearb shouted, “Let’s go earn it.”
For the next 14 minutes, Kaplan did precisely that.
