Erin’s Take On The High School Playoff Games This Week

Here are the local teams still in the playoff hunt:

Rummel at Byrd. The Yellow Jackets have the home field advantage. The game is being held at Lee Hedges on Friday night. Rummel has had two tough playoff wins.....moving on by only 3 points in each game. I have to stick with the Jackets to take this one.

Catholic-N.I. at Evangel. This is going to be an offensive showdown. Catholic has rolled up 92 points in its first 2 playoff games while the Eagles have scored 139 points. Expect to see lots of passing and some tricky running plays on Broadacres Road. A win here for the Eagles sets up a road trip to meet John Curtis in the semis.

University at Calvary. The Cavs have also been a scoring machine in the playoffs rolling up 84 points in 2 games to 73 for University. Calvary should win this as long as the guys don’t make too many mistakes.

West St. John at Haynesville.

The Rams are ranked 6^th, while Haynesville is the 3^rd seed. I think this could be a loss for the Golden Tornados as West St. John has such a powerful team on both sides of the ball.

Here’s the full playoff list:

Ruston at Mandeville

West Monroe at Barbe

Rummel at Byrd

Carencro at Jesuit

McDonogh #35 at Neville

Breaux Bridge at Alexandria

Teurlings Catholic at Lutcher

Karr at St. Thomas More

Class 3A

Marksville at Jennings

McMain at Amite
