The Catholic league invitational. Quarters will be 6 of 8 Catholic League and Semis will be all 4.
ASH will take care of Curtis and Rummel, Catholic takes out Brother Martin.

I am not sure what is up with Karr, but two drubbings in a row is hard to tell what is going on there.

ASH and Aug scrimmaged this spring with live play going to ASH, but we do have injuries that are adding up. Lost two or our top four defenders for the season early, and have a couple offensive guys limping around.

Saint Thomas More will have a shot, but they will have to play a near perfect game.

ND had uncharacteristic penalties last week. Alot of offsides but Welsh held their weight against both Notre Dame lines. Notre dame has some big linemen. I watched the Cecila Notre Dame game, you gotta give credit to Notre Dame for finding a way to win I couldn’t believe they were able to contain Calais just enough to win.

Question, if we make a quarterfinal run (which is very possible), would you still poo-poo it by saying “well you went 0-7 in district”? What if a future Owls team wins twice in the Catholic League and then makes a run to the Dome? That would be 2-5 but I certainly wouldn’t call a Dome run “mediocre”.

Yes. Sorry I demand more from an athletics program than most of the school ever has.

No thats expected in the Catholic league (see modern history)

ND tends to perform very well against run-first teams. Their defensive line and linebacker development is great. However for years ND has struggled when they go up against QBs with a decent arm especially ones that are even semi-mobile. Their weakness on D is typically their CBs and safeties. Not that they aren't good they just lack the speed to stay in coverage with WRs for any extended period. Their DC does a really good job at covering that up by bringing all sorts of exotic blitz packages so they avoid a lot of extended plays downfield. But the second they face a quarterback thats able to avoid those blitzes things get dicey on the backend. Its really why they've struggled with teams with more athletic QBs in recent years (LCA, Catholic High NI, St. Charles, etc). If they end up facing Haven in the playoffs I expect it to be more of the same



Pretty spot on..

I agree that sometimes the powerratings can be flawed but how else could we seed teams?


It starts with drawing proper districts and either getting rid of the split of Select or Non Select or districting with Select and Non Select in mind.

There is one Class 3A district that has Vandebilt, Lutcher, St. Charles Catholic, Berwick and Patterson. Vandebilt Plays Division II Select in Playoffs, St. Charles Division III Select, and Lutcher, Berwick, and Patterson play in Division III. 3 different division in the same district.

Then you have the past districts that put medium sized schools like South Terrebonne and South Lafourche in DIvision I Non Select because they were on the bubble population wise from being in Division II, which houses nearly all 4A schools..

The other issue is some smaller schools may have rosters as large as the the entire male student body, while a large school could can barely field a team.

So you may have a school that is in Division I get blown out by a Division III school because they have nearly triple the football players than the Division I school. I believe average roster counts should be added to the matrix of Classification/Divison critera of schools.

I came up with the idea that LHSAA could use rolling average formula because you wouldn't want a team to tank a season and have a bunch of players skip a season because it is a reclassificaiton year. Then the next year once they are estabilished in a lower class they are busting at the seams with larger roster count than other schools in their new classification.

Then you also have some schools that may excell in one sport like football and has a large team of players in that sport while the other sports major sports like baseball or soccer are barely able to field enough players and are stuck playing in a high division because of student population.
