Game of Inches
Things turned out as expected for Destrehan last week -- mostly, at least. The team was expected to win big, but the final result was not so decisive. It can thank its lucky stars for its win over East St. John. The final score was a hard-fought 35 - 34. The outcome was a definite jolt of excitement for Destrehan after its previous game, where the margin was anything but close. The razor-thin margin made this game the most thrilling one of the week.
This Week's Big Showdown
On paper, the match between John Curtis Christian (2nd in the power rankings) and Jesuit (10th) looked as though it might be one of the more compelling ones, but things did not play out that way on the field. John Curtis Christian had all the answers against Jesuit, winning 23 - 0. John Curtis Christian especially relied on junior Collin Guggenheim, who threw for 111 yards and one touchdown, and junior Corey Wren, who ran for 71 yards and also punched in one touchdown.
