Mistakes hurt Abbeville against St. Charles

The Wildcats limited their mistakes in the first half and were only down 14-13 at halftime.
Abbeville had outgained St. Charles 252 yards to 68 yards in the first half.

Kaplan's Kennedy Marceaux picks Alabama

KAPLAN — Kaplan High junior Kennedy Marceaux knew when she walked onto the University of Alabama campus that it was the place she wanted to spend the next four years of her life.
For the last month, Marceaux has been recruited by most softball programs in the country. She could have written her ticket as to where she wanted to play.
Marceaux and her family visited four softball programs — UL-Lafayette, LSU, Ole Miss and Alabama. On her fourth university visit, the Marceauxs traveled six hours to Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

The Pirates are now on a two-game winning streak and will be at home on Friday.

Kaplan wins second straight game

RAYNE — It is not hard to figure out why the Kaplan Pirates have won two straight games.
Look at the offense, the number of yards it gains, and the number of points it’s producing.
When you produce just over 800 total yards of offense in eight quarters and score 37 points a game, those two things should equal a win.
Kaplan scored 20 points in the season’s first two games and lost.
Kaplan head coach Cory Brodie attributes the turnaround to one thing — maturing.
