Grading the predictions

So that's 9-1 in the semifinal predictions if I have my math correct. St. Charles spoiled perfection but deserves a trip to the 2A title game by beating a powerful Sterlington team.

Evangel nearly missed what appeared to be a guaranteed trip back in August. The Eagles led by only six points as the fourth quarter of their game with Kentwood began. The Kangaroos actually turned out to be quite similar to Southern Lab in my opinion. The Kittens have a better defense, but Kentwood is slightly better on offense, though it didn't have much to show for it on Friday night.

Those three programs should be fixtures at the top of the 1A rankings for the near future. Look for Southern Lab to return to prominence under coach Michael Roach.
