It was the Rebels’ homecoming game, and now they are scrambling for an opponent.
The Spartans were scheduled to play the St. Thomas More Cougars.

NORTH VERMILION'S HEAD COACH GOING FOR IT ON FOURTH DOWN THREE TIMES HELPED BEAT COMEAUX

Sat, 10/12/2024 - 1:19am

Leroy—North Vermilion head coach Roderick Moy prefers not to punt the football to the other team. He was that way at Abbeville High, and he’s still that way at North Vermilion.
It has now been two games since his team punted.
During the game on Friday, the Patriots encountered fourth down situations three times when they were more than five yards away from a first down at midfield. Each time, instead of punting, the team went for it. Each time they did, the offense successfully gained the first down.
