ST. JAMES WILDCATS' FOOTBALL

2006

"GET IT DONE!"

(RECORD: 11-3       COACH: Rick Gaille       CLASS: 2A)

 

The memorable atmosphere of a home battle with John Curtis in week-8 highlighted the 2006 season.  In that classic game against a national powerhouse, St. James held there ground including keeping the game scoreless until halftime and even taking the lead at one point in the third quarter.

 

The 2006 season was a very successful one for the Wildcats, dropping regular season games only to 5A juggernaut Destrehan and super powerhouse John Curtis.

 

The season would however end in a heartbreaking lost to St. Charles in the state semi-finals -- a rematch from a week-10 game in which St. James won.

 

2006 NOTABLES

 

St. James defeated Hahnville 16-14 in the Jamboree by means of a last-second field goal by Juarelle Narcisse.

 

When St. James defeated Belle Chasse 43-13 in week-3, both teams entered the game without allowing a single point in the first two games of the season.

 

The week-4 game at Chalmette was played at 4:30 in the afternoon and was the first football game played in the Chalmette area since Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005.

 

St. James fans enjoyed two distantly traveled games in 2006.  Fans traveled to Lake Charles to watch the Wildcats take on Washington-Marion in week-7.  Fans also traveled to Mamou for the second-round playoff game.
