High school football gets underway on Thursday.
While college and pro football are in their second week, high school begins Thursday and Friday with scrimmages.
All parish schools will be in action. Playing Thursday will be Kaplan, Abbeville, Gueydan and Erath.
Kaplan will battle Eunice in Ed Douglas Memorial Stadium, starting at 5:30 p.m.
Kaplan will be selling pre-sold tickets at the front office in the school. They are $5 each. To get into the stadium, one must have a ticket. No one can walk up to the gate the night of the scrimmage and buy a ticket.

Once the front off sells 925 tickets, no more will be sold.
