Catholic High takes business to Lafayette

Football Fan

The Iberia Parish Schools each recently received a letter from Catholic High School stating that they no longer wished to play in the Iberia Parish Football Jamboree.  Instead, they will now be playing in the Lafayette Jamboree.  The reason stated was that it would give their kids the opportunity to play on Cajun Field.  Instead of switching when they were hosting the jamboree, they pulled the switch when another school was hosting leaving the burden of finding another team on that school.  The Jamboree brings in a good amount of funding for the Iberia Parish Schools.  Having a school pull out of the Jamboree will have a great impact because it will take many people from Iberia Parish and bring them to Lafayette.  At a time when the economy is heading south and we are being asked to spend our money in our parish, they are taking their business elsewhere.  Bravo Catholic High!
