Southern Forest Heritage Museum in Long Leaf provided the setting for a lovely afternoon ceremony on Saturday, June 4, 2016 uniting Miss Brittany Atkinson and Mr. Aaron Williams West in holy matrimony, with Pastor Keith Sheridan officiating.

POINT BLUE — As a child growing up in rural Evangeline Parish, Geno Delafose always imagined himself becoming a rodeo cowboy, and not a famed zydeco musician.

TURKEY CREEK — If elected U.S. Congressman for Louisiana’s 4th Congressional District in November, Mike Johnson would want to bring religion and morality back to Washington D.C., and he would plan on doing that by standing up for the people’s constitutional rights.

Evangeline Parish Clerk of Court Randy Deshotel has announced that there will be an Election Commissioner School for all persons who are currently commissioners and those who are interested in becoming Certified Election Commissioners.

Two individuals were arrested on August 19, 2016 by Mamou Police Department in connection with what MPD Chief of Police Brent Zackery called a “rash of car break-ins” that happened over a nine day period.

A rusty performance in the first half of the jamboree against Mamou this past Friday turned into a 21-0 win for the Basile Bearcats. According to Basile head coach Kevin Bertrand, that was something to be expected.

Revenge will be on the minds of the Pine Prairie Panthers, as they travel to Bunkie tomorrow night to face off against the Avoyelles Parish version of the Panthers.

Jamboree games are not supposed to carry much weight. They are supposed to be a way to find out how far a team has come in a game-like situation. But, when that jamboree is played against a long time rival, jamborees become more than what is normally intended.

The two towns and schools are approximately 10 miles apart from each other. But, when it comes to Friday night football, both Ville Platte and Mamou share the same indisputable passion for their hometown team.
