The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. This Thursday Mt. Carmel (3-7) takes on Cathedral Catholic (4-6) in the first playoff game of the year. Mt. Carmel is hoping to reclaim some of the glory it left behind after its shocking comeback defeat last game.
Mt. Carmel went up against Westview last week. Mt. Carmel's defense put the team in a good position heading into the break, holding Westview to a measly zero points. That put Mt. Carmel at a 15 - 0 advantage. Unfortunately, the defense lost its edge in the second half, allowing 19 points. Mt. Carmel just fell apart after the half, letting a very likely win slip into a bitter 19 - 18 defeat. Meanwhile, Cathedral Catholic simply didn't have it last week, losing 45 - 6 to St. Augustine.
We'll find out on Thursday which team can get past their defeat and step into the winner's circle.
