BERWICK - It was a win the Erath Bobcats needed and they got it in impressive fashion, beating Berwick 36-14 on Thursday night.
The win was the first all season for the Bobcats (1-5 overall), though you wouldn’t have known it by watching them Thursday. It was also the first win for new EHS coach Eric LeBlanc.
When Leblanc played his final high school game at Erath, the Bobcats beat Berwick 42-12 in 2007. Now, Berwick is the first team he beats as a new head coach.
So, Berwick now holds a special place in his heart.

The Abbeville Wildcats gave the Kaplan Pirates a scare, but in the end, the Pirates won 42-30, bringing back the Peter Russo Trophy to Kaplan for the 13th straight year.
Kaplan head coach Stephen Lotief was not too happy after the game, but it was a win.
“Anytime you win, it is a good thing,” said Lotief. “We made some mistakes that we need to go back and correct.”
The Wildcats made the Pirates play all four quarters.
With nine minutes left in the game, Abbeville was behind only 28-24.

The Abbeville Wildcats needed to beat the Jeanerette Tigers on Friday.
The week before, the Wildcats committed 11 turnovers and were beaten badly by Church Point.
Abbeville head coach Kevin Kern could not afford to watch his team sink another week.
In the end, Abbeville scored 50 points after being down 14-0 in the first half. The Wildcats went on to win 50-20 against Jeanerette.
Abbeville had more than 400 yards of offense, including two running backs who rushed for more than 120 yards.
