UHigh gets one more week until they play a real team in the DII State Championship Game

St Charles only put up 14 on Friday? Godspeed to them next Friday against STM.

Doesn’t matter where the game is. Acadiana gonna get boat raced.

Very possible, especially if Acadiana's QB is unable to play. He wasn't able to finish the game against DS. Typical Acadiana style is long clock eating drives and doesn't lend itself to being boat raced if they can move the ball. If Monnette has to start for them at QB, it'll essentially be a running back at QB.

What is Zachary's defense like? Expect a run heavy offense, regardless from Acadiana. That is what the veer is, a really good offense for high school TBH.

3 common opponents all seem to point to Zachary having an edge, though we all know how well the transitive property works in football.

Live Oak @ Zachary 24-10 Zachary
Live Oak @ Acadiana 22-7 Acadiana (Playoff)

SulphUr @ Zachary 42-17 Zachary (Playoff)
Acadiana @ SulphUr 29-19 Acadiana

Zachary @ Denham Springs 62-20 Zachary
Acadiana @ Denham Springs 38-37 Acadiana (Playoff)

I'll be pulling for Acadiana but this game looks like it will be difficult, to say the least.

Nope. Game will be in NOLA. Karr traveled week 2 and is the higher seed.

Either way Lakeshore or Neville will have to go through Karr to make it to the dome in all likelihood.

Go look through this season. They have a great defense and find a way to make enough plays on offense with Frank Monica’s scheming.

Not sure why that seems unfair to you



The whole system is unfair. Acadiana and Zachary BOTH earned the right to play at home last night. If a team 19 seeds lower than them wants to play them at home, earn the right to do it. WIN MORE GAMES.

STM needs to go back to 5A and play teams like Acadiana again. This system is so stupid.

Watched Zachary last night, defense has good size and plenty of speed. They can handle Acadiana from what I saw.

Agreed the system is stupid. Looking at who STM has played I can promise SCC will hold them to fewer points, simply because they will run down the damn clock need be. Will they win is a different story. I will say 2 years back Calvary Baptist had a top 5 qb and rb in the state and they averaged 46 points a game and were blanked by SCC.

If anyone can out scheme them it will be SCC, because they sure as hell can’t out athlete them. Find it hard to believe anyone beats UHigh this season though.

that's fine

Problem is that STM gets leads that forces running teams to try and pass. From there, games get out of control.

It’s not a ranking. It’s a mathematical seed. If LCA is too low, play and beat teams with more wins.

Lol, ok Einstein. The “mathematical seed” is caca dookie because they both play in the same district with same opponents.

No. They don’t. They played 3 non District games. The difference came from LCA playing 1-9 Northside while VC played 6-2 Opelousas Catholic. The difference in power rating was 15.17 for VC to 14.97 for LCA. 3 seed vs 4 seed.

LCA’s non District opponents, or the ones they can actually choose to play, went 1-9, 1-9, and 4-5. They beat them 55-0, 56-0, 63-0.

Like I said, play someone worth a damn and you’ll get a higher seed. There’s no bias in the seeds. It’s simple math.

Don’t worry. St Charles cried enough and next year they’re moving down to 2A. All they’ll have to worry about is Newman. Which is complete bullshite.

And De La Salle stays 3A in a cupcake district and the illegal recruiting will continue.

They will eventually slip up and get caught.

Until then...

Eta: oh and Country Day in 1A.

Acadiana will lose most likely but they will be pretty stacked the next few years.
