ERATH -The vast majority of football coaches are hesitant to put a freshman quarterback in as the varsity starter, unless he’s a once-in-a-generation type player.
While Erath’s Lynkon Romero may turn out to be a once-in-a-generation player for the Bobcats, Erath head coach Eric LeBlanc probably didn’t have that in mind when he put Romero in last year to start a couple of games.

Two Vermilion Parish athletes had breakout seasons
First, a 5-8, junior baseball player missed most of his sophomore season due to COVID-19. In John Touchet’s first full varsity season, he helped the North Vermilion Patriots win a Class 4A state baseball title by posting an 11-0 record on the hill.
Then, up the road, a freshman shortstop burst onto the scene for the Kaplan Lady Pirates. Fortunately for Kaplan, this shortstop did not play or hit like a rookie.

The Acadiana Cane Cutters did well batting and pitching against the Baton Rouge Rougarou in Sunday’s game. The Cane Cutters defeated the Rougarou 6-1 Sunday, bringing their overall record to 8-10 on the season and making it their third win in a row against Baton Rouge.
Acadiana will be heading back on the road Tuesday to face the Rougarou again in Baton Rouge.
For the second straight summer, VC graduate Ethan Lege (Degaldo) is a member of the Cane Cutters.
He is doing well.
