The Iberia Parish School District is elated about the Westgate High School Football Team upsetting the number one team, Edna Karr, last Friday night to clinch the chance to play for the 4A State Championship title. The amazing hard work of head coach, Ryan Antoine, staff, and players made this all happen.
The championship game will be played at the Caesar Superdome in New Orleans on Friday, December 10 at 7:00 p.m. Advanced tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster.com for $19.00 each. Tickets on site will cost $22.00. Using the Event Code EZD1210E and School Code 4AVISI will provide Westgate with a $1.00 reimbursement per ticket sold. Spectators ages 12 years and above attending the game must provide evidence of 1) a negative COVID-19 PCR or antigen test no more than 72 hours prior to entering the event or 2) having received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. The district is asking for the community to come together in support of this history-making event by wearing purple and gold on Friday, posting good luck messages on businesses and homes, and implementing other creative ideas. GO TIGERS!

Now that it’s officially the holiday season, Positively Iberia is playing Santa (of sorts) by bringing gifts of great news and information every week to help you get (and stay) in the holiday spirit!
This week’s segment (12/9) we’ll take a close look at New Iberia’s December 11th - “12 Hours of Christmas” celebration and all of the activities your family won’t want to miss, including the New Iberia Christmas Parade, PJ's & Pancakes with Santa and so much more. Jennifer Beslin and Jenny Toups from Bayou Traditions will join the Chamber’s “Chief Elf” Shalee Landry who'll have all the details on our very own Very Berry Christmas Quest. Past Chamber Board Chair, Mark Boyancé, will also drop in with info on New Iberia Decorated's Christmas Home Decorating and Light competition!
