Central Catholic High School donned full pads for the first time this fall during practice Thursday as teams were permitted to put on full gear after three days of working in shorts and shoulder pads during their preseason preps. The Eagles preseason work includes a scrimmage against
Covenant Christian Academy Aug. 20 at Central Catholic’s practice field before participating in the Kiwanis Club of Lafayette’s jamboree at St. Thomas More against Catholic High-New Iberia at 8 p.m. on Aug. 28. Central Catholic will open its regular season Sept. 3 at St. John of Plaquemine. (The Daily Review/Geoff Stoute)
