Delcambre defeats New Iberia B team Delcambre High School won its season opener with a 12-0 victory over the New Iberia High ‘B’ team Thursday night on the Panthers’ home field. Delcambre scored its first touchdown of the season in the second quarter when senior quarterback Benny Thibodeaux pass 20 yards to split end Jeff LeBlanc for a touchdown. The PAT attempt was blocked, giving the Panthers a 6-0 advantage. A three-yard run by senior halfback Don Dunbar capped a 40- yard touchdown drive in the third quarter. Delcambre elected to run the ball for the PAT but the play failed, making the final score 12-0. Leading rusher for the Panthers was Don Dunbar, with 61 yards; Todd LeBlanc picked up 41 yards running and Murray Landry had a total of 31 yards on the ground. Delcambre had a total of 156 rushing yards, and limited the ‘B’ Yellow Jackets to 72 yards. Craig Boutte was the rushing leader for New Iberia with 45 yards. Thibodeaux was two for six passing for a total of 23 yards. New Iberia was shut out in the passing department, attempting only two passes and having both intercepted. Defensively for Delcambre, Roddy Landry was the leading tackier with nine, followed by Johnny Migues with 7; Randal Falgout and Todd LeBoanc each had a fumble recovery for Delcambre. “Our defense looked fair,” said Delcambre head coach Don Dunbar, “and our offense has a long way to go — fumbles and missed assignments.” Next Friday the Panthers take on Erath High School in Erath, in a contest set for 7:30 p.m. at Erath Stadium.

Delcambre routs Erath 21-0 on sloppy field ERATH — In a tense atmosphere, reminiscent of the rivalry present in an LSU-Ole Miss encounter, Delcambre scored three touchdowns to roust Coach P. M. Trahan’s Erath Bobcats 21-0. After the game, Coach Trahan said simply, “Delcambre is a good team and they played a good game.” Players on both sides had to adjust their games in order to contend with the mushy, muddy state of the field Friday night in Erath. Coach Don Dunbar’s Delcambre High School Panthers made their initial move in scoring during the third quarter. Don Dunbar Jr. took the ball over from four yards out on a pitch out. Immediately following, Todd LeBlanc made good his attempt at an extra point kick to make the score 7-0, Panthers’ favor. With the Bobcats in possession of the ball on their own 15, Delcambre intercepted a pass and brought it in for a touchdown. At this point, Duke Landry successfully faked a kicking attempt and proceeded to run the ball in for a two point conversion bringing the score to 15- 0, Delcambre still on top. The third and final TD of the evening was accomplished by Todd LeBlanc who dived over the middle from three yards out. The extra point failed but the last tallies were on the board. The score stood 21-0, Delcambre the winner. However, the game was not completely one-sided. At one point, Erath threatened with a field goal attempt at the Panther 35 but failed. The Bobcats took Panthers on the move . . . DON DUNBAR Head Coach advantage of the Panthers twice by recovering two of their fumbles. This second win of the season keeps the Delcambre record immaculate as they are coming off on a win last week over the New Iberia Senior High ’B’ Squad. Next week, the Panthers will be playing against Church Point in Delcambre. Their district 9-A competition does not begin until the 28 of September when they will host Plaisance. Erath, who stands 0-1-1 in the season thus far, will travel to Gueydan next week to take on the Bears. District 6-AA competition will not begin for the Bobcats until October 12 when they journey to Holy Rosary of Lafayette.
