Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, West St. Mary should expect quite the challenge on Friday. Welsh and West St. Mary go head to head at 7:00 PM in their first playoff game of the year. West St. Mary are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of points per game.
If West St. Mary were riding high off their 26-0 takedown of Loreauville two weeks ago, that ride came to an abrupt end. West St. Mary ended up on the wrong side of a painful 8-40 walloping at Ascension Episcopal's hands. The lax defense was uncharacteristic for West St. Mary, who until this contest were averaging points allowed.
Meanwhile, Welsh stacked a seventh blowout onto their ever-increasing hoard. They steamrollered Ville Platte 55-0. The match was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 28-0.
Welsh's victory lifted them to 8-2 while West St. Mary's loss dropped them down to 3-6. We'll find out if Welsh can add another positive mark to their record or if West St. Mary can shake off the loss and take the spring out of Welsh's step.
