Authorities: Thibodaux couple admits to stealing from elderly relative
December 1, 2016(AREA GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAMS; BOYS RANKING NEXT WEEK)
1. ELLENDER: The Lady Patriots are the reigning District 7-4A Champions and the truth is they really haven’t lost a ton of players off that title-winning team. Early on, it shows. Ellender is 4-0 on the season and they’ve won every game with relative ease.
2. SOUTH LAFOURCHE: After losing two seniors to college, many thought the Lady Tarpons would take a step back this season. But after five-straight wins to open the season, it doesn’t look like that perception is reality.
3. HOUMA CHRISTIAN: Sure, Houma Christian is just a Class 1A school. But that doesn’t mean much in between the black lines during a 28-minute game. The Lady Warriors are as talented as anyone locally, and they’re more than capable of making a deep playoff push.
4. E.D. WHITE: The Lady Cardinals lost just two games in the regular season last year, rolling through opponents with swarming defense and efficient offense. This year, E.D. White has played just once, but guess what? They had swarming defense and efficient offense. Same ol’, same ol’.
5. SOUTH TERREBONNE: It hasn’t taken coach Nick Cenac long to make a difference as the coach of the Lady Gators. In his first season with the team, South Terrebonne has started strong, posting a 4-1 record. That trumps an 0-5 mark the team had a year ago.
