WELSH — Basile versus Welsh! For us oldtimers, it brings back memories of District 6-B in the early 60’s. Jimmy Vidrine is still a legend in Bearcat country and rightfully so. Some of the old members of that district at one time or other included Oberlin, Basile, Elton, Iota, St. Francis of Iota, Lake Arthur,Iota and St. Michael’s of Crowley. In those days, only the district champion advanced to the state playoffs. That was back when district championships were an important component of sports, unlike it is today.

LAKE ARTHUR — The Lake Arthur Tigers closed out their regular season strong Friday night by blasting the Vinton Lions by a final score of 50-6 at Jack Doland Stadium.

The win ends the Tigers’ regular season at 6-4, and garnered them a No. 19 seed in the Division IV non-select playoffs where they are matched up with No. 14 Montgomery in the opening round.
