GeauxPreps Week 8 Defensive Player of the Week: Kaleb Simon, LB, Lafayette Christian Academy Knights
Lafayette Christian senior linebacker Kaleb Simon found his way into the Knights’ record books in Week 8 as LCA beat Loreauville. With 15 tackles in that game, he became the program’s all-time top tackler (291) by the end of the 23-6 victory, and that Knights’ defensive unit has been absolutely elite this season. Kaleb is a senior, but has only played 7 games this season, and essentially broke the school’s tackle record in two and a half seasons. He missed most of his freshman year with an injury, then started as a sophomore and recorded nearly 100 tackles.

Catholic High's Kyan Batiste can score in many ways for Panthers
It's not a wise move to kick the football to Catholic New Iberia sophomore Kyan Batiste. West St. Mary found that out the hard way in last Friday's 52-12 loss to the Panthers, when Batiste scooped up the ball and ran farther laterally — going from sideline to sideline and back again — than north to south on an unbelievable touchdown return.
