Erath is the Medium Varsity Division II Game Day National Champions.

It is the second year in a row that the Dream Team has won the championship in Game Day.

Abbeville now has the largest Advent calendar displayed in Vermilion Parish and possibly Acadiana.
Cristian LeJeune, Abbeville’s digital media and communication assistant, found a creative way to make Abbeville City Hall look festive for Christmas.
LeJeune discovered that City Hall has 24 windows, making it an ideal place for an Advent Calendar.
She created a large paper wreath with the calendar day number on each painted wreath.
Each number illuminates, indicating the corresponding day of Advent.
LeJeune got the idea of the calendar from other cities.

DELCAMBRE - The loss of the Texaco Gas Station is going to have a major impact on the town of Delcambre.
A fire broke out at the Hot Food Corner restaurant within the Texaco gas station on Veterans Memorial, resulting in the complete loss of the building and the fuel depot.
Despite the efforts of six fire departments, including Delcambre, Iberia, Fire District 1, Rynella, Erath, and BOM, the damage was too extensive to contain. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries.
The Champagne family own the Texaco Gas Station.
