High School Sports

The only thing that a team can do after a loss the magnitude of which Sacred Heart experienced this past Friday night is to completely erase it. Simply put, the Trojans’ 62-6 defeat at the hands of Notre Dame was an event that every team on the Pioneers schedule has had to endure.

It is crunch time for Ville Platte.

LAKE ARTHUR -- It was a night of big plays in the District 5-2A opening game for Mamou. Unfortunately, the Demons were not the beneficiary of those plays, as they fell to Lake Arthur 50-12 here Thursday night.

BASILE - It was the offensive explosion Basile had been waiting for and it came at the most important part of the season, as the Bearcats picked up a 49-14 District 5-1A opening win over the North Central Hurricanes.

PINE PRAIRIE -- Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers! It is the one thing a team cannot afford if they hope to defeat an opponent that for all intents and purposes is better than you.

CROWLEY -- Notre Dame extended its win streak to 19 games with a methodical win over Sacred Heart, Ville Platte, Friday night at Gardiner Stadium. The Pios scored on offense, defense and special teams with a 62-6 win.

EUNICE -- The Eunice High Bobcats rolled up 362 yards of offense on their way to a 45-14 victory over the Ville Platte High Bulldogs in the District 5-3A opener for both teams at Bobcat Stadium.

Where do you turn after starting the season 0-5?
For head coach Brian Brumfield and the Mamou Demons, you continue to work on giving the best effort you can and hopefully the pieces of the puzzle will fit for once this year.

It has been a rough non-district season for the Basile Bearcats, as they have finished the first five games with a 1-4 overall record.

The Pine Prairie Panthers were hoping to go into the district season with a 3-2 record, but a loss this past Friday to Tara High School put a major kink in that plan.
