Berwick prepares for homecoming game; Patterson, Morgan City clash

It’s a big Friday for high school football in the Tri-City area for teams hoping to even their records and teams looking to get back on track.
Berwick’s homecoming game will be against Centerville.
Berwick got in the win column last week, bouncing back from an 0-2 start with a 54-14 win at Cohen.
Centerville is 2-1 after beating Thomas Jefferson last week.
Also Friday, Morgan City will play host to Patterson. Both teams were hot before taking their first losses last week.
Morgan City had handled Jeanerette and Covenant Christian Academy before dropping a 34-27 game at Kenner Academy last week.
Patterson reeled off wins against West St. Mary, Franklin and Central Catholic before falling 40-20 at Amite.
Central Catholic opened the season with losses to Abbeville and Patterson, but got its first victory last week by clobbering Ville Platte 53-0.
The Eagles are at McKinley on Friday.
College
Nicholls State is another team that is celebrating a first win after a close-but-no-cigar start.
The opener at Memphis wasn’t close. The Colonels fell 42-17.
Then quarterback Lindsey Scott topped 300 yards passing in a 27-24 loss to UL Lafayette, which had been nationally ranked in the preseason.
Nicholls finally got its first win at home Saturday, beating North Alabama 31-14.
LSU scored a 28-25 win against offensive-minded Mississippi State, settling more of the jitters that emerged after the opening-week loss at UCLA.
But another big test looms: At 8 p.m. Saturday, LSU hosts SEC rival Auburn, ranked at No. 22 and, like LSU, 3-1.
Saints
Which Saints will be on the Superdome turf for Sunday’s home opener against the winless Giants?
The bruisers who manhandled Green Bay? The injury-riddled team that looked meek in a loss to Carolina? The cool, competent gang that was completely in control in Sunday’s 28-13 win at New England?
Either way, at the noon Sunday kickoff the Saints will be playing in front of a full Superdome house for the first time since 2019.
