re: LHSAA Week 4 Thread - #3 Karr vs #4 Salmen tonight in huge 4A matchup

St. Louis and notre dame should be a fantastic game IMO

A fellow coworker put together this preview of Brusly and St. John and I thought it was too good not to share:

This is a pretty interesting matchup because of the closeness of these two school. Not as big a rivalry like Brusly/Port Allen or St. John/Plaquemine but them being in as close a vicinity, they know each other pretty well.

Brusly (Erik Willis 2nd Year – Spread Wing-T Offense/4-4 Defense)

The Brusly Panthers are a dynamic offensive team led by dual threat QB Jay Christopher. He ran and threw for over 1,000 yards last year. Very solid frame at 6’3, 190 lbs. Good Arm strength, not afraid to throw, but will tuck the ball and run oftentimes. His main offensive threats are fellow backfield mate running back Donald Williams and on the outside Terrance West who both possess 4.5/40 speed.

On defense they are anchored by lineman Jarred Allain and linebacker Brenden Alexander who is All District. On the corners are speedy Kwanston Adkins and Dimario Jackson with Donald Williams pulling double duty at safety.

This team has got arse…Agility, Speed, and Seniors galore! This will make all the difference against a young team like St. John.


St. John (Mike Dugan 1st Year – Spread Offense/4-4 Defense)

The St. John Eagles are in a rebuilding phase after losing their coach to Live Oak. New Coach Mike Dugan was an assistant under Brusly’s Erik Willis when he was at St. John. There is a new offense…no Wing-T this year, but you may see similarities in offensive schemes in comparison to Brusly. They lost a lot of playmakers on offense, including all-world running back Davonte Williams, so they will have to depend on Junior Quarterback Hunter Schnebelen, who in garbage time in blowouts last year, showed his passing abilities leading the second team offense. His main target is Hayden Hemenway who is only a sophomore and will have to step up big against the likes of Brusly’s devastating defensive backfield.

Their defense is very young and very hungry which will mean lots of gambling which could lead to turnovers or touchdowns. Their leader is senior defensive lineman Curtis Jones who is a troublemaker for offensive lines disrupting all post-snap plans.

This is a game where St. John will have to dominate the Time of Possession to have a chance and to do that they are going to have to find a way to move the chains and muster some sort of run game.

Key Players

Brusly Panthers

#9 QB Jay Christopher
#6 RB/SS Donald Williams
#2 WR Terrance West
#44 LB Brenden Alexander
#10 DB Kwanston Adkins
#1 DB Dimario Jackson
#62 DT Jarred Allain

St. John Eagles

#2 QB Hunter Schnebelen
#15 WR Hayden Hemenway
#74 DT Curtis Jones

This could be a one-sided game, but St. John is at home and they play inspired in front of their home crowd. The first few possessions will tell the story.

Living in the past are we? Is it not accurate that Catholic had won every single game ever against y'all before this streak? Most of which weren't even close

haven't won a playoff game in over 40 years....might win one this year...

I'll be at the game y'all choose to re-schedule. I hope the offense can put up some more points and I think Ascension Christian is exactly what Dunham needs right now.
