KAPLAN — On a night that saw a nearly two-hour lightning delay in the third quarter, the Kaplan High Pirates dominated Berwick with a 38-19 win to improve to 2-0 on the young season.
The score could easily have been much more lopsided had the game not been canceled with just over three minutes to go in the third quarter of Thursday’s game.

After two games, the Abbeville Wildcats have shown nothing fancy with their offense. They play smash-mouth football. Hand the ball off and run it down the middle.
With a host of players carrying the football, the Wildcats got their first win of 2023, whipping Central Catholic of Morgan City 20-7. They finished with more than 200 yards rushing.
The Wildcats play host to North Vermilion next Friday.
Abbeville head coach Roderick Moy said he cannot play smash-mouth football three weeks in a row.

Vermilion Catholic junior quarterback Jonathan Dartez seems to be like a bottle of wine and gets better with time.
Playing in what could be his 26th high school football game, Dartez did something he has never done thus far.
In the 30-28 win over Ascension Episcopal on Friday, Dartez ran for an amazing 359 yards on 31 carries and scored three touchdowns.
He also completed six of eight passes for 52 yards and threw one interception.
In one game, Dartez accumulated 411 yards of offense.
