It was just last month when the Houma area saw two state titles enter its doors. The area’s school look to bring two more titles home in the upcoming weeks. After both E.D.White and Ellender’s boys basketball team took home a victory last week to make it possible.

Last month, the Ellender girl’s Basketball team defeated Southwood to be named the State Champions of Division 5A with the final score being 37-32. Ellender boy’s will be looking to match their state title on March 17. They got into this position with wins over New Iberia, Ruston, St. Amant, and Barbe. Many were writing Ellender off after their slight victory over Ruston in the Regional round, however, Ellender proved exactly why they deserve to be in the playoffs with a 68 to 43 victory over Barbe in the semi-final.

In soccer, Vandebilt was able to cap their third straight title in Division 2 Soccer with a 3-0 win over East Ascension. This year’s match was defiantly more competitive than last. Another interesting fact is that this is the first time a state title has been claimed by the same concessive school three years in a row.

Like Vandebilt, E.D. White will be looking to make history in the finals of the Division 3A State Basketball Championship match. If EDW can pull off the win, it will be the first time In the school’s history to bring a Boy’s State Basketball Championship back to its school. EDW earned the right to play for the title by beating Wossman on a road by the score of 58-57. Their opponent, Karr, defeated Richwood on the road by a score of 54-61. Houma.com would like to wish all the local sport players the best of luck in their upcoming matches.
