LHSAA State Championships Thread

This year we have a weird schedule due to Endymion not allowing games to be played Saturday. Today, the Division-IV and Division-III boys and girls state championships will be played. All of them will be streamed online on the NFHS network. Get the playoff subscription for $24.99, which expires automatically after 60 days, and is a better value. Last year I made the mistake of committing to the $9 a month for a whole year, and I didn't use it hardly anytime after soccer season.

Girls D4- #11 Country Day Cajuns vs. #4 Isidore Newman Greenies

Don't know much about the girls teams, but should be a close one.

Boys D4- #2 Episcopal of Acadiana Falcons vs. #1 Isidore Newman Greenies

Newman playing for their 8th title, and the first since 2009 after coming up just short in the title game last year, losing to Northlake Christian in OT. Newman beat ESA 2-1 earlier in the year, and should be slight favorites here. Two teams that will pass it around the park, and should be beautiful to watch.

Girls D3- #2 Loyola Prep Flyers vs. #1 Vandebilt Catholic Terriers

Boys D3- #8 Episcopal of BR Knights vs. #3 St. Louis Catholic Saints

Episcopal beat St. Louis 2-0 early in the season, but history has shown St. Louis takes their game to another level in the postseason. They are 12-1 in the title game under Jason Oertling since 1997, and have won titles 6 of the last 7 seasons. Episcopal were D-III champions in 2013. Expect a fast-paced and physical game. This St. Louis team isn't as good as last year's that won 31 games, but they should get the job done when it counts tonight.
