Football teams around Vermilion Parish will be participating in jamborees this week in their final preparations for the regular season, which begins next week.
The Abbeville Wildcats will host the Crowley Gents on Friday in Wildcat Stadium at 8 p.m.  Following their scrimmage last Friday against Patterson, head coach Johnathan Zenon said the Wildcats have a lot to fix.

LEROY - The North Vermilion Patriots faced another team for the first time under new head coach Roderick Moy on Thursday as the Opelousas Catholic Vikings made the trip south to LeRoy, and he liked what he saw.
 “I was very pleased with what I saw overall,” Moy said.  “Our offense scored two touchdowns, and our defense created three turnovers.  That’s what I was second most proud of.  Number one was that the later the game went, the more physical we got.” 

The Vermilion Catholic Eagles outscored the Westminster Crusaders in Thursday night’s scrimmage.
The scrimmage had a play script that was divided up into two halves.
In the first half, the teams worked on pass offense and pass defense with the first and second teams.
Then, in the second half, it became more of a game-type situation. Both teams ran different scenarios, like third down and 8 or second down and 5. 
Then, at the end of the scrimmage, the two teams went up and down the field like in a game.
