KAPLAN — Kaplan High junior Kennedy Marceaux knew when she walked onto the University of Alabama campus that it was the place she wanted to spend the next four years of her life.
For the last month, Marceaux has been recruited by most softball programs in the country. She could have written her ticket as to where she wanted to play.
Marceaux and her family visited four softball programs — UL-Lafayette, LSU, Ole Miss and Alabama. On her fourth university visit, the Marceauxs traveled six hours to Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

RAYNE — It is not hard to figure out why the Kaplan Pirates have won two straight games.
Look at the offense, the number of yards it gains, and the number of points it’s producing.
When you produce just over 800 total yards of offense in eight quarters and score 37 points a game, those two things should equal a win.
Kaplan scored 20 points in the season’s first two games and lost.
Kaplan head coach Cory Brodie attributes the turnaround to one thing — maturing.

GUEYDAN — The Gueydan Bears opened district with a 56-30 loss to East Beauregard in Gueydan.
The Bears (3-1 overall, 0-1 in district) at one time led 8-6 in the first period. Cohen Guidry ran 10 yards for a touchdown. It was a 13-play drive that took three minutes off the clock.
East Beauregard, however, could not be stopped in the first half.
Their big play was a Skyler Bebee sweep play that went right. Bebee ran the ball four times, and three were 35-yard touchdown runs.
The Bears got down 26-8 with seven minutes to play in the first half.
