VILLE PLATTE – After spending the last two years in Class 2A, the Ville Platte High Bulldogs must now face a step up in classification as they move to the 3A ranks. In terms of regular sea- son competition, Ville Platte High head coach Jorie Randle feels that his team has been through the fire enough over the past two seasons to deal with anything that Class 3A has to throw the Bulldogs’ way. “We were in the district with Notre Dame, Kinder, Welsh and Lake Arthur the past two seasons, so we know what good competition is like,” stated Randle. “With the new district that we will be in, we will face some very good football teams. I think because of having to play teams that won the state championship, we know how it is to play solid, winning pro- grams.” One positive for Ville Platte this season is the return of 13 seniors to the roster. With the experience that the Bulldogs have coming back, es- pecially on the offensive side of the ball, Randle is hopeful that his team has the field presence that a senior laden club should bring night in and night out.
