ST. MARTINVILLE — The St. Martinville Tigers are sure to celebrate their homecoming weekend after a high-scoring match against the Erath Bobcats. Since moving to District 6-3A in 2019, St. Martinville has had the upper hand.

Not counting out the defense, Derouen knew that they would be lining up against a gritty bunch. The Tigers' held the Bobcats to 29 points in their 30-point victory (59-29) being vital in getting the points on the board as well.
