Even with their 70-22 pasting of North Central this past Friday, Sacred Heart head coach Josh Harper is still not satisfied with the play of his offense.

Youth can be a blessing and a liability when it comes to high school football programs.
On the one hand, knowing that most of your players will be around for a few years, gives a coaching staff a chance to develop a team.

Describing the 2017 Pine Prairie Panther football season is like describing your favorite suspense movie; big highs, some lows and plenty of not wanting to look away because you might miss a great ending.

It does not get any easier for the Ville Platte High Bulldogs this week.

VILLE PLATTE – The Sacred Heart Trojans got back on the winning track in a huge way here Friday night as they rolled to a 70-22 win over the North Central Hurricanes.

ELTON -- It has been a tale of two seasons for the Basile Bearcats.
After starting the year at 1-3, Basile had reeled off two wins in a row and was looking to make it three in a row when they travelled down Highway 190 Thursday night to take on long time rival Elton High School.

VILLE PLATTE -- It was not a good night offensively for the Ville Platte High Bulldogs, as they took one on the chin in a 49-8 loss to the Kinder Yellow Jackets here Friday night.

PINE PRAIRIE -- With playoff implications on the line, the Pine Prairie Panthers are in a must win situation from here on out for the rest of the season.
The Panthers, the No. 24 seed coming into Friday night’s game needed a victory to keep those post-season hopes alive.

CROWLEY -- Ever since their big win over Port Barre three weeks ago, the Mamou Demons have not had any luck getting back in the win column this season.
That trend remained, as Mamou was outmanned once again in their 48-0 loss to the Crowley Gents here Friday night.

LAKE ARTHUR – The Ville Platte Bulldogs made the trip down to Lake Arthur Thursday night to tangle with the Tigers in hopes of extending their win streak to three in a row and picking a district win.
