Contenders and pretenders as 31 Lafayette-area football teams reach postseason

The matchups are set and the times locked in. And with the 2026 LHSAA football playoff brackets released, the road to the Superdome is laid out. Thirty-one teams from Lafayette Parish and its surrounding area made the cut, earning their spot across the eight divisions. Among those teams, some have a destiny that includes hardware coming back to their respective communities. Other teams will have a different path, some may call it an underdog route, as they look to shock the state with deep postseason runs. For some teams, the postseason journey may be a short one with tough opening-round matchups on the docket that may be too much to handle. The Daily Advertiser has decided to place each area team in one of three categories as either state championship contenders, pretenders or darkhorses. A championship contender is a team likely to play in the Superdome. A pretender is a team that likely won’t make it past the first or second round. The darkhorses? Well, it's anyone's guess. Contenders Eunice (10-0): The Bobcats earned the No. 3 seed and a bye in the Non-Select Division II bracket after completing a perfect regular season for the fifth time in school history.

Youngsville sailor builds confidence while serving aboard Navy destroyer

For Youngsville native Cynthia Laborde, joining the U.S. Navy was about more than seeing the world or serving her country. It was about setting an example, honoring her family's support and proving to herself that she could succeed in one of the nation's most demanding professions. Now serving aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS Mahan out of Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia , the 2023 Marksville High School graduate is quickly adapting to life at sea while representing Acadiana on a global stage. Laborde joined the Navy just 10 months ago, motivated in part by a desire to be a role model for her younger brothers. “I want to provide a positive role model for both of my brothers since they are 18 now,” Laborde said. “I think it's important to set the best example I can.” That drive to lead by example was instilled at an early age by her mother, who encouraged her to push through challenges and maintain high expectations for herself. “My mom has always held me to a high standard with everything I ever did,” Laborde said. “Because of her, I recognize that I can do hard things and succeed.” Today, Laborde serves as a professional apprentice
