The High-Five

1. H.L. BOURGEOIS: How can any warm-blooded Houma-Thibodaux native not smile at the season the Braves are putting together? H.L. Bourgeois has been a program at the bottom for so long. But now they’re risen to the top of the pack and are 4-0, including a win against East St. John on Friday night. Good for those guys!

2. THIBODAUX: It took a little while, but Thibodaux is finding its groove. The Tigers struggled in the first half against Terrebonne, but eventually picked up steam and dominated the second half to score a win.

3. SOUTH LAFOURCHE: The Tarpons own their rivals from the North. In a year where everyone locally thought that Central Lafourche would beat South Lafourche, the pattern repeated again and it was the Tarpons who prevailed in a close, hard-fought game the Tarpons needed badly to win.

4. CENTRAL LAFOURCHE: The Trojans have heart. They had every reason multiple times to fold up and wilt in Friday night’s game against South Lafourche. But they never did, battling back to have a great chance to win late in the game.

5. E.D. WHITE: E.D. White always seems to play a close game. The Cardinals got a victory on Friday night against Kaplan, securing a late interception to seal the win. E.D. White is 2-2, but could easily be 4-0. They’re one of those teams that always seems to be in the game late.
