Case, Fontenot, Hebert strike through the air for CCHS

A last-minute change in plans deprived Central Catholic of an opener at home, sending the Eagles to White Castle instead of Morgan City’s Tiger Stadium.
But Benjamin Case, Tate Fontenot and Xailen Hebert had no trouble finding the end zone.
Case threw for four touchdowns, two each to Fontenot and Hebert, in Central Catholic’s 27-24 win over White Castle.
Elsewhere, in a Week One muddled by referee shortages and weather, Berwick downed Morgan City High 30-12 in a game moved to Thursday to ensure enough officials to play. (See related story).
Patterson took one on the chin, falling 40-0 to Jeanerette in a Friday game rescheduled for Saturday in New Iberia.
Centerville was a 32-0 winner over Delcambre; Hanson fell 24-6 to St. John; Lafayette High knocked off Franklin 34-14; and West St. Mary scored a 38-0 win over Berchman’s.
This Friday, hurricane permitting, Morgan City High will host Slaughter Community Charter; Berwick will be at home against Kaplan; Patterson will play Comeaux in Lafayette; Centerville plays at West St. Mary; and Franklin will take on M.L. King Charter.
Central Catholic is scheduled to play Catholic New Iberia on Thursday at a site to be determined.
