The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. East Providence's bye week comes to an end as they meet up with La Salle Academy at 6:00 PM on Friday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many points in their previous contests, so their meeting could be a low-scoring affair.
East Providence might have drawn first blood against Central three weeks ago, but it was Central who got the last laugh. East Providence took a 7-15 hit to the loss column at the hands of Central. This was a playoff match, so the blow was especially dispiriting for East Providence.
Meanwhile, La Salle Academy were averaging 34 points per game entering their contest two weeks ago, but they just couldn't find their rhythm against Bishop Hendricken. La Salle Academy ended up on the wrong side of a painful 6-36 walloping at Bishop Hendricken's hands. The lax defense was uncharacteristic for La Salle Academy, who until this game were averaging 19.25 points allowed.
East Providence simply couldn't be stopped the last time the two teams met, as they easily beat La Salle Academy 41-0. Whatever the outcome in this rematch, the matchup is bound to be a fierce one since these are two of the top teams in the state.
