Last season LSU transfer Evan Powell (.224 BA, 31 RBI) was on the Bengal team that finished as national runners-up and performed well behind the plate.
The wintry mix of snow and ice forced the cancellation of the area high school Friday night basketball games.
St. Edmund’s District 5-1A match-up at False River Academy has been rescheduled for Feb. 5.
The Blue Jays will travel to Sacred Heart of Ville Platte on Tuesday night.
The road to the playoffs became more difficult for both St. Edmund teams after Tuesday night’s sweep by Pointe Coupee Central.
The Lady Cougars (16-6, 3-0 in District 5-1A) held a 29-12 advantage at the break and rolled to a 59-38 win over the Lady Jays (3-15, 1-2).
The question facing LSU Eunice this season is how do you replace two of the best pitchers to wear the Bengal uniform?
Last season, LSU Eunice had the duo pitching punch of Brady Domangue and Zac Person, who are both now with the LSU Tigers.
