Sabe David was the named the Gulf Coast Bank's Offensive Player of the Week honors. Handing him his shirt is Murphy Guilbeaux of Gulf Coast Bank.
KAPLAN - Before this season kicked off, senior Kaplan quarterback Sabe David described his role with the Pirates as “the manager of the game.”
For the first 22 games of his sophomore and junior years, David mainly handed the ball off to the running backs and watched them hustle down the field.
During those seasons, he might have thrown for around 400 yards total.
Before this year, he had only topped 100 passing yards once in 23 games, and that was during a big win against Beau Chene.

ERATH - Exciting times are ahead for the Erath Bobcats as they aim to make school history in 2025.
This year’s team is on a mission to become the first EHS squad to finish with a perfect 10-0 record.
To make this dream a reality, they’ll need to overcome a challenge: defeating the St. Martinville Tigers, a team they’ve yet to beat in six tries since 2019.
The Tigers, with a record of 2-5, are heading to Erath to take on the undefeated 7-0 Bobcats, who have been scoring an impressive average of 45 points in their last three games.
The kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

YOUNGSVILLE - After losing to the Vermilion Catholic Eagles for three consecutive years, the Ascension Episcopal Blue Gators finally secured a victory this past Friday.
In a district game, the Blue Gators remain perfect on the year, after beating VC 35-14.
The Eagles have fallen to 2-5, while the Blue Gators have improved to 7-0.
The Eagles’ next opponent will be Opelousas Catholic, 5-2, coming off a 24-22 loss to Westminster of Opelousas. Opelousas Catholic’s other loss this season was to Sacred Heart of Ville Platte.

The Abbeville Lady Wildcats dropped a 3-1 decision to the Crowley Ladies on senior night Monday, 18-25, 23-25, 25-22, 10-25.
Abbeville (5-13, 0-3) lost the first set, dropped a close second set, came from behind to win the third set, and then ran out of gas in the final set. Head coach Madison Trahan felt the effort wasn’t at the level it needs to be for the Lady Cats to win.
“The effort was better,” Trahan said. “We could have definitely played harder, but it was better than it was last week.”
