  The Abbeville Wildcats hosted a two-day team camp in their gymnasium last Monday and Tuesday.
Several local schools and schools from around the state participated.  The Wildcats were joined by Kaplan, VC, Midland, Vanderbilt Catholic, Merryville, Covenant Christian, Lake Charles College Prep, Northside, Jeanerette, Southside, St. Martinville, Cecilia, Comeaux, and Loreauville.
Wildcats head coach Trevor Eaton is in year two of hosting the camp.  He took the idea from North Vermilion coach Jack LeBlanc a few years ago.

 As the Vermilion Catholic Eagles navigate their Metro League schedule, four-sport athlete Jackson Trahan barely has time to eat and sleep.
 Before the Eagles squared off with Catholic High of New Iberia Monday under the lights at Ralph Sellers Field, Trahan had already played two basketball games and been to football workouts. While he admits it’s difficult, Trahan is fueled by the challenge.
“It’s nonstop,” Trahan said.  You go from sport to sport.  You never get a break.  I like that.  I like always being active.  I want to do it all while I can.”
