ERATH - Abbeville High junior Michael Rice did not think what he did was a big deal. He saw a player that needed help, so he helped him.
Rice is a member of the Wildcats’ football team who played in a junior varsity football game against the Erath Bobcats.
Rice was playing defensive back, and after a run-play by Erath quarterback Griffin LeBlanc, Rice helped chase him. Then, Rice noticed LeBlanc’s wrist did not look right. Rice saw LeBlanc in pain. Rice put his arms under LeBlanc’s arms and lifted him off the ground. Rice helped LeBlanc walk to the Erath sideline.

The North Vermilion 9-10 year old youth football team went all pink this month in honor of Breast Cancer Aware month.
In the past, the team normally wears pink socks and pink shoe strings.
But this year, they stepped up their pink attire.
Coach Scott Wilcox and his company Still Water Concrete Pumping, provided the team with a surprising gift.
The company purchased pink jerseys for the entire team. They will wear the jerseys throughout October.
Coach Scott is no stranger to Breastr Cancer. His mother is a breast cancer survivor.
