Kaplan Pirates clicking at right time

Mon, 11/19/2018 - 8:58am

Things are clicking at the right time for the Kaplan Pirates.
On Friday the Pirates advanced to the third round of the Class 3A playoffs by playing what head coach Stephen Lotief said was the Pirates’ best game of the season.
The Pirates cruised to a 36-6 victory over the Crowley Gents (8-4). They will play No. 6 Lake Charles College Prep Friday at home,
“This is the best game we played all year,” Lotief told his team after the game. “Our offense played well. Our defense played well, and our special teams played well.”

Kaplan players Shay Romero (62), Tyler Stelly, (36), Brayden Bass (10) and Braylon Romero (23) walk out onto midfield for the coin flp during a recent game.

St. Frederick well aware of Vermilion Catholic

Fri, 11/16/2018 - 8:41am

Vermilion Catholic has a special place in St. Frederick’s heart.
Back in 2013, in the Division IV state finals, VC met St. Frederick in the Superdome. When the game was over, the Eagles won their second state title and St. Frederick’s went home with their tail between their legs after being drummed 63-18.
That was five years ago and none of the current St. Frederick players were part of the team. But trust me, they are aware of the final score.
