LAFAYETTE, La. (103.3 The GOAT) - With just two weeks left in the regular season, the fight for district titles and playoff spots is in full swing across the Acadiana region. Some teams are riding the momentum of last week’s wins, while others are hoping for a much-needed bounce back in Week 9. Here's a tease of the week’s biggest storylines and what to expect as we head into the final stretch of the season.


Close Calls and Comebacks Set the Stage for Week 9

One of last week’s most thrilling matchups was the state championship rematch between Opelousas and Cecilia. The two teams went head-to-head, with Opelousas narrowly escaping with a 28-27 win, putting them in prime position to claim the district title. But the job isn’t done just yet—Opelousas faces Breaux Bridge this week. Despite a rough start to the season, Breaux Bridge just secured their first win after battling through weeks of injuries at quarterback. You can catch this game Friday night at 6:45 p.m. on 103.3 The GOAT.

Meanwhile, Cecilia hosts Livonia in district play as they look to shake off last week’s narrow loss and keep their postseason hopes alive.


Acadiana’s Dominance Continues, Southside Looks to Regroup

In another high-profile game last week, Acadiana put on a commanding performance against Southside, securing a 43-10 victory. This week, Acadiana is set to take on Sam Houston, while Southside aims to bounce back in a tough matchup with Carencro, a team that’s been on fire recently, winning their last four games and building serious momentum.


St. Thomas More Makes a Late-Season Push

At the beginning of the season, some doubted whether St. Thomas More (STM) could live up to their usual high standards. But the Cougars have found their groove, working their way back into playoff contention just in time. This week, they face Teurlings Catholic in a local rivalry game that promises to be a thriller.
