LA CENTER — Whether it’s the mudslides, mud angels postgame or the mud-stained uniforms, a natural-grass field on a rain-soaked night never felt this good — or memorable — for the Seton Catholic Cougars.
“We love it — these are the best games,” senior linebacker Aeven Napolean said. … “this one, we really had to dig deep and find our true selves.”
Digging deep meant making history, too. What visiting Seton Catholic did Friday — earning a 29-21 victory over La Center at a rain-soaked La Center Community Stadium — is something no other Trico League team had done in the previous 30 games going back to the 2018 season: defeat the Wildcats.
And, it also did something no prior Seton football team had done in the program’s young history: win a league title.
