North Vermilion scores 21 points for jamboree win

CROWLEY — The North Vermilion Patriots had an impressive first half, leading the Crowley Gents 21-0 at halftime. However, the second half saw some sloppiness in their play.
Despite this, the Patriots secured a 21-0 victory over the Gents on Thursday night in the second game of the Acadiana-Vermilion Parish Jamboree.
This Thursday, the Patriots will kick off the season with an away game against the Church Point Bears, who finished last year’s regular season with a 7-2 record.
