re: Post final scores for 5a games:

Nobody inGonzales was happy to see McKinley in the first round. In the regular season, a 41-14 lead wound up a 41-35 game with McK threatening. They're big, physical and fast and took Dutchtown to the wire, missing a 2 pt conversion to tie Ina 21-19 loss. Last night was a relief to get through it.
I understand Covington is huge, and they were impressive last night. I know they won't be wowed by anything they see from EA the past few games and should probably be the favorite. I'm not sure how EA has managed to be 9-2, but the Defense has really improved and they have a real playmaker in Chad Hill. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th string RBs (before Boo's injury) all scored TD's last night, which is pretty good. The biggest adjustment they've had to make is the Offense having to sustain drives. They were so used to the 60, 70+ yard plays by Boo that they really struggled the first three games without him.
From what Ive seen of DT, if Ehret is physical, they'll hang in there. The only teams to give DT trouble are big, physical teams like Catholic, McKinley and for that night, EA. I'm not counting Destrehan, they're off the charts. DT has small, scrappy LBs that will be tested by Ehret, but their DBs make a lot of tackles in the run game, so it'll be interesting. Playing on the road doesn't faze Dutchtown.
