Four schools from Vermilion Parish will be competing in Quint Slant’s 7-on-7 tournament at St. Thomas More High School in Lafayette.
The four teams are Vermilion Catholic, Gueydan, North Vermilion and Delcambre High.
The small schools play Wednesday, and the larger schools Class 4 and Class 5A schools play on Thursday.
There will be no running plays, just passing plays.
Gueydan, a Class A school, has the first game on Wednesday against Class 2A Delcambre Panthers. It begins at 4 and will only last 20 minutes.

No one ever put it down on paper, until this track season at Abbeville High School.
Abbeville High graduate and head track coach Ivy Landry began researching track and field records for Abbeville High School.
Finally, with a combination of former track coaches, Ossie Blaize, Erik Lege, Brent Indest, John Prestridge and current track coach, Ivy Landry, a record book was created. Also, helping were Brandon Mitchell, Chad Brown and Russell Betts.
The AHS records go as a far back as 1969 to as recent as 2018.

Former Kaplan High softball pitcher Abby Trahan is moving closer to home after spending two years far away from Vermilion Parish.
Trahan, who was a pitcher at St. Francis University in Pennsylvania, will transfer to Southern Miss. She announced the move via social media on Friday. She will have two years left to play for Southern Miss.
“My family and I are both very excited for me to start my junior year with Southern Miss,” said Trahan on Monday. “I am excited to start working with the team and working my hardest to take them to a championship like I did at St. Francis.”
