re: LHSAA Week 6 Thread - Updated with Thursday Night scores

I'll be in Slidell tonight watching the St. Paul's-Salmen matchup.

The Wolves have survived the last couple weeks with close calls to Covington and Mandeville (their top two district opponents) and go on the road to face a tough non-district foe in Salmen. If the Spartans air it out with LSU-commit Chuck Baker, they should move the ball pretty handedly. I'm not sure the status of St. Paul's safety Jay Washington (who injured his shoulder against Covington), but without him back there, it makes a difference.

Salmen is known for their relentless ground game and have a RB that will contend for the title of second-best RB in the state for the 2014 class by the name of Chris Thomas. They usually feed him the ball 25-30 times/game, so the Wolves' front 7 better bring their A game (although I feel their run defense is their strong point).

It should be a great matchup, but I'm gonna go against my alma mater and say Salmen takes this one 24-13.
