C.E. Byrd and Calvary will be participating in this Saturday's Battle on the Border. It's a prep football showcase that will bring in reigning State Champions, West Monroe and from just across the state line, Marshall High School. I talked to the head coaches to ask them what it's like to play at Independence Stadium on a big stage.
The Byrd Yellow Jackets will face the Marshall Mavericks this Saturday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. at Independence Stadium in game #1 during the second annual Battle on the Border.
Kickoff for game #2 is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. as West Monroe High School vs. Calvary Baptist Academy.
Catch all the action with Charlie Cavell as the No. 3-seeded Byrd Yellow Jackets travel south on Interstate 49 to Lafayette Parish where they will battle the No. 7- seeded Carencro Golden Bears.
