The Abbeville Wildcats picked a great time to play the their best game of the season.
The Wildcats, behind its veer offense, ran over the Patterson Lumberjacks, 41-19.
Abbeville improved to 3-4 on the year and is at home Friday against district rival North Vermilion for a homecoming battle.
“We played well all around,” said AHS head coach Kevin Kern. “This week I told the players to have to finish a game. We have to play a complete game. Tonight, we did that.”
The Wildcats set the tone early by jumping out to a 20-0 first quarter lead.

Erath quarterback breaks 33-year-old passing record

ERATH - All records are meant to fall.
On Thursday in Erath, a 33-year-old Erath school record fell.
When Erath junior quarterback Luke LeBlanc took to the field Thursday night against the North Vermilion Patriots, it was reported that he was 300-plus yards away from tying Nathan Granger’s single-season passing record. Granger’s single-season record was 1,433 yards set in 1985.
However, after going back and recalculating his throwing stats, it was determined LeBlanc was a lot closer to tying the record than first reported.
