The two teams who won this year’s, and possibly last year’s, Parish Tournament are not the normal team to win the parish tournament.

The Lady Patriots had not won the parish since 2009, and it has been at least 10 years and possibly longer since the Eagles won the parish tournament.
The Eagles, who are now 7-0, whipped the Wildcats playing team ball.
