The 2021 LHSAA Class 4A state champions will be hoping for another historic season this year.

After going 8-2 last season, the Tigers will once again face some of the toughest opposition in the state during the regular season.

Westgate will travel to cross-town rival New Iberia Senior High to kick off the new season, taking on the Yellow Jackets on September 2 at 7 p.m.

Head coach Ryan Antoine has assembled a schedule that includes teams from around the state, including the perennial powerhouse Lafayette Christian Academy, who defeated the Tigers 19-7 in the opening game of last season.

With many familiar foes making the jump to Select, the Tigers will likely see a few new faces in the playoffs. Antoine will no doubt count on the strength of his schedule to once again see his team to the Superdome.
