CENTERVILLE - Who throws for 500 yards in a football game? Most high school quarterbacks are thrilled if they throw for 500 yards in a season.
On Friday, VC’s four-year starting quarterback Drew Lege went where no quarterback in the parish probably ever gone. Lege threw for a VC school record, 506 yards, and seven touchdowns against Centerville on the road.
Before Friday, Lege’s single-game high was 415 yards thrown his sophomore season.
VC cruised to a 55-20 win over Centerville to improve to 5-0 with two games remaining in the regular season.

Abbeville Wildcats manhandle Crowley

Finally - things went the Abbeville Wildcats’ way.
Pre-Roderick Moy era, the Wildcats could never catch a break. If they fumbled, the ball never bounced their way. Somehow they would get a game-costing penalty at the wrong time.
But on Thursday in a road game against the Crowley Gents, everything lined up in Abbeville’s favor. The Wildcats could almost do no wrong.
Because of that, Abbeville spoiled Crowley’s homecoming with a 46-12 district win.
The win improved Abbeville to 2-2 and 1-1 in the district.
