Delcambre upsets Catholic High in OT

DELCAMBRE — Call it the “Miracle on Main.” Call it the upset of the year. Call it a shocker.
Whatever you call it, call it a Delcambre win as the Panthers stunned Catholic High 21-14 in overtime in the District 7-2A opener for both teams Thursday night.
Parker LeBlanc ran for two touchdowns, Rogan Saunier scored the winner in overtime, and the Delcambre defense stopped Catholic High inside the 1-yard line twice to claim its first win over CHS since 1995.

Delcambre QB leads team in rushing

DELCAMBRE — It’s a rarity for a Wing-T offensive team that the quarterback is the leading rusher.
“It is,” Delcambre coach Artie Liuzza said. “But it helps if the quarterback can run. It makes us a little more two-dimensional, and he’s doing a much better job as a passer.
“When he gets this season under his belt and can grow each week, he can go into his senior year. He could be really fun to watch.”
And so, Delcambre sophomore Parker LeBlanc has already become an indispensable part of the Panther offensive attack.

Abbeville too much for Vermilion Catholic

Earlier this season, Abbeville coach Roderick Moy called senior running back Blake Saddler his “home run hitter” and that he needed to find a way to get the ball into his hands more than nine times a game.
Friday night against Vermilion Catholic, Moy managed to get the ball into Saddler’s hands 12 times, and the senior proceeded to hit five home runs - touchdowns of 30-plus yards, in the Wildcats’ 43-0 win over the Eagles.

‘Pee-Zee’-led Kaplan Pirates beat North Vermilion

The word “Pee-Zee” kept being said on the sideline by the Kaplan Pirates when they were on offense.
Then, in the second half, “Pee-Zee” was said again and again.
The translation of “Pee-Zee” was short for Campisi, Kaplan’s running back, Caden Campisi.
His teammates said his nickname a lot because he carried the pigskin 37 times in Kaplan’s 20-14 win over the Class 4A North Vermilion Patriots on Friday.
He carried it 18 times in the first half and 19 times in the second half.

Loreauville too much for Erath

ERATH – Erath’s Lynkon Romero to David Richard pass-catch scoring combination clicked twice Friday night in the Bobcats’ regular-season opener against Loreauville.
It wasn’t enough to offset the Tigers’ twin brothers – seniors Caleb Jacob and Collin Jacob – and a supporting cast of returning players coming off a reasonably deep postseason run a year ago in Class AA. Loreauville scored on its first three possessions in the first quarter and never looked back on the way to a 41-15 victory over the ’Cats.
