Kaplan set to face Crowley in 1st district game

KAPLAN — An explosive passing game continues to produce for the Kaplan Pirates, who beat Beau Chene 34-0 on Friday as they prepare to open District 5-3A play this week at home against Crowley.
Okay, the Pirates ran for 316 yards and four touchdowns to 128 passing yards and one TD, but that added dimension included a 73-yard TD pass from Sabe David to André Marceaux, and gives opposing teams something else to worry about besides Kaplan’s usual running game on offense.

Run game powers Bobcats

ERATH — When Erath’s passing game stalled after a hot start, the Bobcats reverted to a power run game to propel them to a 35-20 win over the Vinton Lions on homecoming night at Robert J. Segura Sr. Memorial Stadium.
Behind 120 yards and two touchdowns from Blake Dautreuil, Erath ran for 204 yards, including 119 yards for the team in the second half.
Erath head coach Eric LeBlanc said the effort the Bobcats have been putting into preparation and games this year paid off with a win on Friday.
