Hahnville will take the field at Tiger Stadium this year for its third season under head football coach Greg Boyne’s leadership. And to look at the Tigers’ early season schedule, it seems clear Boyne wants to see exactly where his program stacks up among the state’s best.
The Tigers will face four of the state’s traditional contenders in non-district play to begin the season, a slate that includes Shaw, St. Charles Catholic, E.D. White and Lutcher. All of those programs bring reputations as winners, and all are known for their toughness.
Hahnville opens the season with a stern test right off the bat as the Tigers travel to face 2025’s Division II select state runner up, Shaw. The Eagles come off of a gut-wrenching 23-21 loss to St. Charles Catholic in the state championship game. Shaw was the 7th seed in the bracket and went 9-5 overall last season. It brings back 17 starters from the Superdome team of a season ago. It didn’t have quarterback Allen Shaw III in its spring game scrimmage against Destrehan, but the defense looked as stingy as ever in a 6-0 live period victory.
Tiger Stadium plays host to some River Parishes action for what is sure to be a hyped home opener for Hahnville. The aforementioned Comets are the defending champions of Division II select and have won three championships in head coach Wayne Stein’s 5-year tenure. Quarterback Landree LeBlanc is among the team leaders and is an experienced passer as he enters his senior season. SCC was the top seed in its bracket and went 13-1 on the season.
Week 3 brings a familiar opponent as Hahnville travels to E.D. White. The two teams have squared off in each of the past two seasons, the teams going 1-1 in those games, each with a win at home – last year, HHS took a 28-7 victory at Tiger Stadium. This one will be in Houma where HHS will attempt to be the first to earn a road win in the series of recent years. The Cardinals were 8-4 last season, the 8 seed and a quarterfinalist in Division II, falling to eventual state champion SCC.
Week 4 sees Hahnville take on another River Region opponent as it travels to Lutcher. The Bulldogs went 8-5 last season and reached the Division II non-select quarterfinals, falling to eventual state champion Iowa. The two teams last matched up in 2023, a 14-7 Lutcher victory at HHS. Lutcher has won nine state crowns in all, including two under head coach Dwain Jenkins in 2016 and 2022. LHS returns 11 starters this season, many of those to a very experienced offensive unit.
The final six games will all feature district competition.
Hahnville begins District 7-5A play with back-to-back home games, the first against H.L. Bourgeois.
Bourgeois went 5-5 last season, falling just short of the playoffs. The Braves will be in their first season under new head coach Munchie Legaux, who was previously head coach at Sophie B. Wright and who, in his playing days, quarterbacked at Karr and at the University of Cincinnati. Hahnville won at Bourgeois last season, 48-7.
The second district game brings what’s been a tremendously exciting matchup in recent years to Boutte as Terrebonne visits. Terrebonne went 8-4 last season, beating Natchitoches Central in Round 1 of the playoffs before falling to Southside. Last season, Terrebonne captured a 52-38 win at home over HHS. Two years ago, it was Hahnville racing away for a 51-32 victory in Boutte. The schools are 2-2 over their past four against one another and shootouts have been common. Last year saw the largest class of collegiate signees ever from Terrebonne with eight and 21 seniors have departed overall, but the program has been very competitive in Tyler Lewis’ four years as head coach.
Hahnville’s back on the road for Week 7 – they won’t have to travel far. The Battle on the River is set right in the middle of 7-5A competition as Hahnville and Destrehan face off. The annual rivalry always brings tremendous attention statewide. The Tigers are looking to snap an eight-game Destrehan win streak in the rivalry – including last season’s 49-28 Fighting Wildcats win in Boutte. Hahnville’s last win came in 2017. That victory coincided with HHS’ last run to the Superdome. Destrehan will have several new faces in the lineup this season, but one very familiar remains in the backfield – running back Malachi Dabney, who is certain to have the complete attention of the Hahnville defense.
Week 8 brings another local rival as East St. John visits Hahnville for the Tigers’ fourth River Parishes showdown of the season. Hahnville defeated ESJ 42-7 at Tiger Stadium last season. The Wildcats have had back-to-back difficult seasons, with three total wins over that time period. ESJ is rarely down for long, however, and a talented group will take the field under longtime coach Brandon Brown. HHS has won two in a row over the Wildcats.
Hahnville hits the road in Week 9 to face off against one of 2025’s breakthrough teams. Thibodaux made a big leap forward in head coach Lowell Narcisse’s first season. THS pushed Hahnville in what became a 34-20 HHS win in Boutte last season – Hahnville pulled away after what was a tight first half between the teams. Thibodaux went 8-3 last season, returning to the playoffs but falling in round one. Thibodaux brings back a very experienced offense and looks to build on a strong first year of Narcisse’s program.
The regular season concludes with Hahnville hosting Central Lafourche. It is Aaron Babin’s debut season as the team’s head coach – he’s tasked with rebuilding a program that finished 2-8 last season. Hahnville defeated Central 49-16 at CLHS last season. Babin is an alumnus of Central Lafourche and was previously head coach at South Terrebonne from 2022-2025.
