The High-Five

1. CENTRAL LAFOURCHE: The Trojans have some defensive holes that need to be corrected in a hurry. Heck, they allowed more than 500 yards of total offense on Friday night. But the team has weapons galore and a quarterback that knows how to get the ball to them in space. You can’t ask for much more.

2. VANDEBILT: Last year, CCA shell-shocked Vandebilt and the game was a dog-fight in the second half. Not this year. Vandebilt broke down the overmatched Lions, and scored an easy win, which sets the stage for the Terriers to battle Newman on Friday night.

3. THIBODAUX: The Tigers started hot and rolled on Friday, earning a big victory over Terrebonne. Friday’s game will be a good litmus test for the Thibodaux team. East St. John is awfully good. It will be a battle to see how Thibodaux matches the Wildcats’ athleticism.

4. TERREBONNE: Sure, Terrebonne lost on Friday night. But they played an awfully good team. The bad news is that it doesn’t get any easier for Terrebonne, who will lock horns with the always-powerful Destrehan on Friday night. Ouch.

5. SOUTH LAFOURCHE: I hear people calling me a homer from a mile away. Yes, I put South Lafourche in the No. 5 spot, despite a 1-3 record. The Tarpons have lost to Carver (4-0), Thibodaux (3-1) and Central Lafourche (4-0) – all by just a combined 17 points. The schedule will lighten up and the results will change.
