Jaboree Antoine, Westgate Football

Antoine showed exactly why he is one of the highest-rated recruits in the country when he faced off against former District 4-4A rival LCA last week. Throwing for 106 yards and two TDs with another 116 yards and one TD on the ground didn’t seem to phase the senior as he helped guide Westgate to its first-ever win over the Knights.

Thomas Carter, Loreauville Football

The name Thomas Carter may be new to some casual prep football fans around the area, but the Loreauville faithful have been keeping an eye on the talented freshmen for years. Against Vermilion Catholic last week, he picked up 55 yards and two touchdowns from 10 carries in the Tigers’ 47-36 loss.

Devine Duhon, Jeanerette Football

Sophomore Devine Duhon made the most of his opportunities last week, combining for five touchdowns including one sideline-to-sideline run that is worthy of a spot on the SportsCenter Top 10. Duhon ended the game with  191 rushing yards from 21 carries and an additional 42 yards through the air. 

Anna Kate Minvielle, Catholic High Volleyball

The CHS Lady Panthers notched impressive wins over LCA, St. Scholastics, Ursuline, St. Louis Catholic and Archbishop Chapelle last week, and at the center of it all was senior middle blocker Anna Kate Minvielle. With a combined 49 kills, 5 blocks, 8 digs, 2 aces and 1 assist, Minvielle is a major reason why Catholic High currently has an 11-2 record on the season. 

Jaiden Mitchell, Catholic High Football

The Panthers continued their dominant run with a 43-8 victory over Patterson, where the senior WR/DB went 3-for-53 through the air for three receiving TDs to improve to 2-1 ahead of Thursday’s star-studded matchup with perennial powerhouse Notre Dame. Mitchell, a dual-sport athlete who is one of the Panthers’ stat leaders on the court, will play a crucial role in the success of the CHS program this season. 

Hugo Morales, Delcambre Football

The Panthers are officially on a roll following their 34-14 win over Class 4A Beau Chene moved them to 2-1 on the season. Junior RB Hugo Morales added two touchdowns to the Panther’s lead in the second half, ending the game with 158 yards from 20 carries.

Dameon Polite, NISH Football

Polite helped the Yellow Jackets remain undefeated with a 48-23 win over Comeaux on Friday, ending the night with 133 yards and two TDs from just six receptions. NISH will face off against Acadiana in Week 4, with Polite’s talents on both sides of the ball being key to a secure a 4-0 record.

Madalynn Salsman, HBCS Cross Country

Salsman helped the Lady Bears win a Division V state title last season and looks to be in even better shape this year. At the Brusley Cinclaire Run on the Levee event last weekend, the senior finished in second place with a time of 21:20.65. Joining her on the podium was Ella Blake, who finished third with a time of 21:20.74.
