Rayne Wolves to take on LC College Prep

RAYNE - The excitement for the season opener for the new football season was short-lived, thanks to Hurricane Harvey.
Rayne High joined many schools around the area who were forced to cancel their season opener and wait until this week to begin play.
The Wolves, along with Notre Dame and Church Point were the three Acadia Parish schools forced to canel their season openers.
“We are definitely behind the eight-ball,” stated Rayne High Head Coach Curt Ware of this week’s game against Lake Charles College Prep.
“Nothing against the school, but they (Prep) enter the second week with a game already played plus a win,” Ware continued. “In addition to not playing our opener and get a game under our belt, we were very limited in what we could actually get done last week. There’s only so much you can do in the gym -- an entirely different atmosphere than being on the field.”
LCCP will visit Rayne High on Friday at 1-0 after claiming a 16-7 win over Pickering.
“They are already a game ahead of us before even stepping on the field,” noted Ware of Friday’s contest. “Offensively, defensively and special teams -- we will be at a disadvantage.”
“But, I have confidence in our guys. They have been working hard and trying their best. We will see where that brings us to on Friday.”
Pioneers
The Notre Dame Pioneers were put into the same predicament as the Wolves by Hurricane Harvey -- canel their first regular game of the season due to weather.
The Pios were slated to meet LaGrange last week in their seaosn opener, but Harvey put an end to that as the hurricane made landfall just southwest of Lake Charles.
ND will travel to Lafayette FRiday where they will meet Teurlings.
