NISH, Westgate win; Highland, Catholic High fall | Breaking News

The New Iberia Senior High Yellow Jackets rallied from a halftime deficit to beat Donaldsonville 27-18 Friday night in a game that replaced the Jackets’ scheduled District 3-5A game against Barbe.

Two other teams in the city didn’t fare as well as Highland Baptist fell victim to three miscues that cost them in what had been a back-and-forth battle with Westminster Christian. A fumble and consecutive onside kicks that WCA successfully recovered helped the Crusaders pull away for a 56-35 win. Catholic High also dropped a home game, falling to Ascension Episcopal 28-14 in a District 7-2A game.

On Thursday night, Westgate traveled to Denham Springs and crushed the Yellow Jackets 43-17 to improve to 2-1 on the year.
