• GeauxPreps Week 5 Thursday Night Road Trip: Lakeshore Titans 'Pound The Rock" (geauxpreps.com) — Belle Chasse High’s Cardinals came up just short in a 41–34 thriller against Lakeshore, despite a late comeback and a final drive that ended with a broken-up pass in the end zone. The game showcased Belle Chasse’s resilience, big-play offense, and experienced coaching against a physical Titans squad. Lakeshore now looks to build on the win, while Belle Chasse regroups for key upcoming matchups.
   

• Hegseth Military Base Competition: Map Shows 6 States Most Likely To Host (newsweek.com) — Belle Chasse’s Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base is highlighted as a model joint installation as the Pentagon weighs where to build a massive new “Next Great American Base.” An expert notes Louisiana’s Gulf Coast access and Belle Chasse’s multi-branch operations could strengthen the state’s pitch, though any new base would still need a much larger, less-populated site. The decision process is just beginning and will involve Congress.
