Crescent City Sports to live stream Assumption-Vandebilt Catholic football Friday

Crescent City Sports’ extensive live streaming coverage of high school sports for the 2020-21 school year continues Friday night in the bayou region as District 8-4A rivals Assumption and Vandebilt Catholic face off with no worse than a share of the district championship on the line.

UPDATE (11/12): Assumption had to pull out of the game due to COVID-19 issues. Instead, Vandebilt will host Covington in a non-district contest.

CCS’ coverage of the matchup between the Mustangs and Terriers, both 3-0 in district play, will begin just before the 7 p.m. kickoff from Buddy Marcello Stadium in Houma. Lenny Vangilder and Wayde Keiser will describe the action.

For the second straight year, this matchup will likely decide the 8-4A crown. Last year in Napoleonville, Assumption overcame six turnovers to defeat Vandebilt 26-20 in overtime. The Mustangs went on to finish unbeaten in district play and claim a second consecutive league title.

Assumption (4-2) is ranked ninth in the Crescent City Sports Class 4A top 10, while Vandebilt (5-1) is seventh in the Louisiana Sports Writers Association 4A poll.

Quarterback Sage Rivere, who tossed the game-winning touchdown pass in overtime last year and had three touchdown passes a week ago, guides a balanced Assumption offense. The Mustang defense will have to slow down Vandebilt running back Bryden Roundtree, who has 360 yards and five touchdowns on the ground in the Terriers’ last two games.

Though the Mustangs have won the last five meetings, the series has been tightly contested. In addition to last year’s overtime game, Assumption claimed one-point victories in 2016 and 2018.

The Crescent City Sports team is in its 10th season of producing live broadcasts for television and internet, having produced more than 300 live streams since 2012, and is continuing its extensive commitment to prep sports coverage on its website for 2020-21. Additionally, in cooperation with Cox Sports Television, CCS will also produce additional events that will both be televised on CST and streamed on the site.
