The New Orleans Saints have done what many have said would never happen; they are bringing home the Lombardi Trophy after their 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV.
Saints fans were nervous after the first quarter, as it was all Indianapolis. The Colts scored 10 points and kept the Saints off the scoreboard. The Saints finally showed some life in the second quarter, scoring two field goals. However, they knew field goals would not win this game.

It took just two victories to set up a District 6-2A championship game for the Ville Platte High Lady Bulldogs. They got those two wins by pummeling Loreauville and Sacred Heart earlier this week. The back-to-back league wins kept the Lady Bulldogs undefeated in league play. Tuesday night they will face the Jeanerette Lady Tigers in Ville Platte. A win for the Lady Bulldogs will mean another district title. It will be the first one for new head coach Dot Doulet, who took over for legendary long-time coach Elton Williams.
