District 10-5A Football

On the first weekend of the LHSAA football playoffs, I think it merits noting that every single one of the five Catholic League teams (District 10-5A) -- Jesuit, Rummel, Brother Martin, Shaw, and Saint Augustine -- made the State High School Playoffs.

Every. Single. One.

I think that says volumes about the strength of the Catholic League in Louisiana High School football.

[UPDATE: November 13, 2009, 11:48PM: The Jesuit Blue Jays won their first round playoff game against the Airline Vikings by a score of 27-7. This sets up a potential and probable second-round showdown between Jesuit and their District rival and No. 1 seeded Rummel Raiders, who play the No. 32 seed tomorrow in their first round matchup. Jesuit lost their regular season game to Rummel in a close game decided in the final 2 minutes by a score of 21-14.]
