It’s fun to have relatives come to your games and watch you, and that also applies to coaches. “My grandpa will be able to come to our games,” said Khalil Thomas, who is taking over as football coach and athletic director at Livonia High.

Livonia edged Breaux Bridge 4847 on Tuesday in a District 5-4A game to win its third game in a row. The Wildcats are 2-1 in district and 14-10 overall.

Tallon White took the inbounds pass at midcourt and drove to the hoop with 7 second left for the winning basket for East Feliciana to down Livonia 46-44 on Tuesday. Jamarian Joseph and Carmel Bourgeois each had 9 points for Livonia, while Jeremiah Robinson and Sylvain Chase had 8 points each Livonia held a 27-17 lead on Kingston Jones’ jumper with 6:31 left in the third quarter.

A pair of matches with the same opponent and an intra-parish meeting will wrap up the soccer regular season. The Livonia boys soccer team was scheduled to play Tara on Wednesday in Baton Rouge, then host Tara at 7:30 p.m.

Eleven members of the Livonia High football team were recognized by District 5-4A coaches in their voting on the 2023 season. Jamarian Joseph was named to the District 5-4A First Team offense at wide receiver.

The opening of district competition for boys basketball in District 5-4A and District 6-1A this week got pushed back after schools were closed due to weather expected to reach 20 degrees. All of Pointe Coupee Parish’s team were affected: • Livonia’s first District 5-4A game hosting Beau Chene was postponed.

The threat of freezing weather and icy roads spoiled the opening of District 6-1A girls basketball play. Although Livonia opened District 5-4A last week with an overtime win over Breaux Bridge, but the weather spoiled a chance for a second district win.
