The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. Slidell will take on Central Lafourche at home at 7:00 PM on Friday. Scoring has dipped the last four games for Slidell, a trend Central Lafourche would like to contribute towards.
Slidell brought a six-game winning streak into their match against Northshore last Friday; they left with a seven-game streak. Slidell walked away with a 17-3 victory over Northshore. Junior Harlan Dixon, who rushed for 138 yards and 1 touchdown on 20 carries, was a major factor in Slidell's success. If you haven't heard Dixon's name lately, then you haven't been paying much attention: he has loomed large in their past ten games.
Meanwhile, Central Lafourche have had to suffer through a three-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They blew past Thibodaux 49-28. Followers of Central Lafourche probably expected little less of the team in a season in which they have collected four blowout victories.
Their wins bumped Central Lafourche to 6-4 and Slidell to 8-2. While both teams are coming in off of wins, only one will triumph this week. Who will it be ? Check back in with MaxPreps after the game is over for details.
