KAPLAN – The Kaplan Pirates used the legs of Wyatt Hebert, Daylon Landry, and Bradyn Bearb to cruise to a 40-18 homecoming-victory over the Loreauville Tigers at Ed Douglas Memorial Stadium Friday night.
 Kaplan (3-1) relied on its methodical running game to control the clock and keep the dangerous Tiger offense off the field.  The trio combined for 333 yards rushing and six touchdowns.

YOUNGSVILLE - Just 33 seconds into the game, the North Vermilion Patriots found themselves trailing 8-0 and struggled to halt the Ascension Episcopal Blue Gators’ scoring.
When the first quarter ended, the Patriots were trailing 22-0 and suffered their fourth consecutive loss, succumbing to the Class A Blue Gators 50-18.
Ascension has now beaten parish teams Abbeville (38-14), Kaplan (23-6) and North Vermilion (50-18).
Ascension’s next two games are against parish teams Gueydan and Vermilion Catholic.

It’s tough to come back when you’re down 21 points in the first quarter. Somehow, the Erath Bobcats fought hard and reduced the deficit to just seven points with less than three minutes remaining.
Erath scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter, but time ran out, and the Eagles (4-0) won 41-34. The Bobcats were trailing 35-13 at the 7-minute mark in the third period but never gave up.
