NATCHITOCHES — The St. Charles Catholic Comets are currently on the road to Natchitoches to compete in the LHSAA Division III championship game against Lafayette Christian. The buses are expected to arrive at Northwestern State University at noon today.

Steven Faucheux, Faith Williams, Marcelle Bailey, Nash Faucheux, Anna Faucheux, Hartley Faucheux, Christine Creppel, Leslie Faucheux and Landon Faucheux (standing in front) cheer on the Comets as they depart campus for the championship game.

The team left campus at 8:30 a.m. this morning following an early morning Mass and breakfast. The bus was led by a police escort as fans cheered and rang cowbells along the street.

This is the second consecutive year the Comets have advanced to the championship to face Lafayette Christian. Last year, St. Charles Catholic lost 41-14. Today’s game will be a rematch for the state title.

The bus is seen leaving the St. Charles Catholic campus early Monday morning.
