Tigers score 2-point conversion for win

– Three lost fumbles cost the Breaux Bridge Senior High football team a chance to build an early lead over Vermilion Catholic in the Tigers’ first home football game for the 2025 football season on Friday.

But after scoring two touchdowns in the final two minutes to pull within a point of the 2024 Division IV Select state champions, the Tigers opted to go for a 2-point conversion with 34 seconds left in the game, and fullback Baylon Champagne made it pay off for a 28-27 Breaux Bridge win.
