GUEYDAN - “It was a very overwhelming feeling” says, Lindsey Lounsberry, sister of Gueydan High School senior Rob Lounsberry, known as ‘Lil Rob.’

The Vermilion Catholic Eagles dropped two notches in the latest Division IV LHSAA Power Point Rankings despite winning on Friday.
For two short weeks the Eagles (8-1) hung on to the No. 2 spot in the Division IV power point rankings. Two weeks ago, VC lost to No. 3 Lafayette Christian but still managed to stay at No. 2.
The next week, they won over 0-9 Highland and dropped to No. 4.
Southern Lab (8-1) is No. 1 and Ascension Catholic (8-1) is No. 2.
LCA (8-0) is No. 3 and VC is No. 4.
Central Catholic (5-3) is No. 5.

This week is the final week of the high school regular season, and some teams are on the bubble of making the high school playoffs.
North Vermilion, Delcambre, Erath, and Abbeville have a chance to make the playoffs with a victory. If they lose, there is a good chance their season could be over.
Tonight’s football game between Abbeville (3-6) and Erath (3-6) is the biggest game of the year for both teams.
In the latest Class 3A unofficial power point rankings, Erath is the No. 31 seed, while Abbeville is the No. 39 seed.
North Vermilion is No. 30.
