LEROY—After losing to the North Vermilion Patriots in three overtimes last year, the Erath Bobcats beat the Patriots in only one overtime, 21-15, and improved to 2-0 on Saturday.
Not since 2010 has the Bobcats started 2-0.
The Erath win did come with some dramatics.
Erath head coach Eric LeBlanc decided to give the game to a tight end who has yet to catch a pass this year.
In overtime, each team gets the ball at the 10 yard line and has four plays to score. The Patriots got the ball first in OT but could not score.

The Vermilion Catholic Eagles made Friday night look easy against the Class 3A Breaux Bridge Tigers.
The No. 2 Eagles jumped out to a 14-0 lead and cruised to a 45-0 win on Friday.
On VC’s first drive, the Eagles marched 53 yards in four plays to score their first touchdown. The drive took only 90 seconds. The big play of the drive was a 45-yard Jonathan Dartez pass to Hudson Hebert that set up the score.
Two plays later, Dartez scored from the two, making it 7-0 after Alex Broussard’s extra-point kick.

RAYNE – The North Vermilion Patriots and the Erath Bobcats participated in the Acadia/Vermilion parish jamboree Thursday night and both fell short on the scoreboard.
  The Patriots took the field against the Eunice Bobcats.  On their second offensive possession, they claimed a 3-0 lead.  
Preston Bagwell led the Patriots down the field with 46 yards on three carries, including a 34-yard burst.  The drive stalled at the five-yard line, and kicker Logan Blanchard connected from 25 yards away to put NV on top with just over two minutes remaining before halftime.
