(ACTIVE TEAMS)

1. CCA: The Lions are the No. 2-seed in Division IV for a reason – they’re an awfully good football team. Their offense is really, really hard to stop, because one can never accurately predict who will get the ball on a given play. But their defense isn’t too shabby, either, and it’ll be curious to see how they fare against a triple option foe.


2. E.D. WHITE: I owe the Cardinals an apology. I didn’t give them a snowball’s chance in the desert to win on Friday night against Vandebilt. But I was wrong. That defense played absolutely lights out and that was a much-deserved team win for a Cardinals team that scored the last laugh on its rival.

3. THIBODAUX: It was disappointing to see the Tigers play as poorly as they did on Friday night. Losing Amik Robertson was a huge blow.


4. VANDEBILT: No one expected Vandebilt to bow out on Friday night. For sure, I didn’t. But congratulations to the Terriers on a very, very good season. Those guys were terrific for the vast majority of their games.

5. ELLENDER: The Patriots’ defense had a hard time getting stops in the back-end of the season and it ultimately cost Ellender a shot at a deep playoff run. But kudos to coach Dave McCormick and all of the Patriots players for a wonderful, comeback season.
