If you turned on your television set last Saturday night to watch the 2017 Bayou Bowl, you might have seen Cade Orsak showing off his football skills one last time as a defensive back, #18, for the West team.
The Edna graduate was nominated by his coaches and he was chosen among 73 of the area’s top football players to participate.
“Most of the guys there were from 5A or 6A schools, I think I was the only 3A player there,” Orsak said. “And then when they learned I was an Edna Cowboy, they asked me if I roped and rode horses and milked cows. They said, ‘You’re a real cowboy!?’”
He played an outside linebacker position they called ‘The Bandit,’ which Orsak said is similar to a strong safety on a team. He was also one of two punt returners on the West team, but only recorded one yard.

Natalie Boldt took instructions from her coach moments before stepping to the plate to lead off the top of the seventh.
"Let the pitch come to you, and then drive it the opposite way," Cobra coach Rob Elkins said. "Just play your game, and get on base. We need a base runner."
This was the final inning of her high school softball career, and it was the 7th annual Crossroads High School Softball All-Star senior game in Victoria at the St. Joseph Field of Dreams on June 3.
Boldt drove the pitch the opposite way down the line for a double, however, she was left stranded at third. The Blue Team, consisting of Edna and Industrial athletes, lost the game, 3-2.

The Edna Youth football league will be having signups for cheer and football on Saturday, June 3, at the Shelby Park football field, located behind the Cowgirls softball field.
Ages six and up, and the cost is $100 per participant. A government-issued birth certificate is required.
