Yeah I saw CHPC play St.John at the end of the season last week really nice ball club. They played SJ tough both games I believe they can pull off the upset.

I believe St. John will crush CCA. Hell of a ball club and CCA dosent have the pitching.
HC vs OC is a tough 1. Giving it to OC because they were the runner up last year in D3 and haven’t lost much. Not sure what HC has besides a LSU commit that’s a power hitter.
AC will win in a close battle. Goes all 3 games
OC beats PC in 2 games. They have probably the best pitching staff in 1A.

St.John can absolutely crush the ball have 20+ home runs on the season. I wouldn't count Covenant Christian out just yet & I would advise anyone having to play them right now (such as St. John), to not under-estimate them as they have improved in leaps & bounds over the course of this season. I definitely look for this series to go 3 games before being won by the team making the fewest defensive errors in Game 3. |

I don't believe that Houma Christian vs. Opelousas Catholic is going more than 2 games. Houma Christian has 7 or 8 Seniors starting depending on who is on the mound. Senior ace pitcher Brock Theriot is a strikeout machine & he generally walks NOBODY, senior catcher Dylan Trahan & senior shortstop/LSU SIGNEE Gavin Dugas share the team lead in homeruns with 8 apiece-amazing when one considers the fact that Dugas injured the ring finger on his non-throwing hand & was out a month & missed 13 games as a result of that injury. There's also their returning senior first team all-state first baseman McCade LeBlanc & their junior utility players Brandt Roger & Brandon Gueniot. There's also their top 4 outfielders, Dalton Durkes, Alex Hebert, Mason Zeringue, & William Bergeron. The 4 of them are all seniors as well. This Houma Christian Warrior team only lost 1 starter from the team that lost to eventual Division IV State Champs Ascension Episcopal in Sulphur last year. By the way, Opelousas Catholic lost in the Division III Semifinals to eventual State Champs Riverside Academy. It was the other OC-Ouachita Christian who finished as runners-up to Riverside Academy in Division III last year. |

If OC doesn't pitch to the catcher, they can win. VC lost both games because of his 3 HR's. The Dugas kid is a stud, but he did not have a hit in the series against VC. Not saying he's not significant, but they won because of the hitting of the catcher. HC does have solid pitching. VC hit the Theriot kid well (per Houma newspaper). VC had 12 hits, HC had 6 in first game. Should be a dandy with OC.

Opelousas Catholic is a powerful team also. I believe they have 15+ HR’s as a whole, but I also heard they tend to strikeout pretty often and that might workout in HC favor being they have 2 pitchers that can run it close to 88-90mph. Should be a good series but I still give it to OC. Not sure what kind of pitching they have though, just going by hear say.

VC had 12 hits, HC had 6 in first game. Should be a dandy with OC. You are absolutely correct about Gavin Dugas not getting the clutch hits against Vermillion Catholic this past weekend. The reason for that is that Vermillion Catholic's strategy going in was to try to limit the amount of decent pitches thrown to Dugas, who as a sopre two years ago was the first team all-state shortstop & a honorable mention all-state pitcher when he hit 10 homeruns, had an even .500 batting average, & was used as a starting pitcher, middle reliever, & closer--basically, whenever & wherever he was needed! That they would elect to pitch around Dugas makes sense--maybe. Now, you are suggesting that they should pitch around the catcher, Dylan Trahan, who is simply crushing the ball right now. Trahan, by the way, was an honorable mention all-state catcher last season. The problem with that idea is the fact that the next batter up is first baseman McCade LeBlanc. LeBlanc, by the way, was the first team all-state first baseman last season. Now, my friend & neighbor, I ask the $64,000.00 question--who DO you pitch to & who DON'T you pitch to?!? You are also correct in saying that Vermillion Catholic hit well against Brock Theriot. He rarely walks ANYONE, rarely gives up more than 4-6 hits & 1 or 2 earned runs, & usually throws 90-95 pitches for a complete 7 inning game. You are also correct in saying that Houma Christian vs. Opelousas Catholic should be a dandy this weekend. Come on down & enjoy some great high school championship-caliber baseball!!

I'm not denying that Dugas has had a great career, rather, I'm saying he had a less than standard performance against VC. He put the bat on the ball, so pitches were thrown that he was able to hit. He had a few ground outs and fly balls (and walks). I'm not discounting him at all. Thanks for giving his accolades for the past 3 years, but VC undoubtedly, wasn't afraid to throw to him. As far as Trahan, VC probably has regrets throwing good pitches to him. He was definitely hot for the 2 games. I will go out on a limb and say he won the two games almost by himself (per the newspaper). If you look at the box scores, VC was up until the Trahan HR fest began. Great baseball! Best of luck to the two teams.

On the other hand, I think all the D4 matchups will be good ones this week. Goodluck to all teams and especially my Bulldogs tonight against Sacred Heart.

All of the Houma Christian players are very good at doing what is asked of them & also at picking up the slack whenever one or more of their teammates may be experiencing a temporary slump in their performance. Last weekend it was Alex Hebert pitching the game of his life & catcher Dylan Trahan hitting 3 Homeruns in the 2 games against Vermillion Catholic. Maybe this weekend it will be pitching ace Brock Theriot &/or shortstop Gavin Dugas returning to dominance, or, perhaps it will be another, or, maybe several of the other Warrior players' turn to shine against Opelousas Catholic. It certainly will be fun & entertaining watching it all unfold this weekend. I agree that all of the Division IV Quarterfinals being played this week look to be very good ones indeed. |

Tell me something, sportfanattic, were you EVEN at the Houma Christian vs. Vermillion Catholic series last weekend or did you JUST read the newspaper coverage of the 2 games? While it doesn't REALLY matter, I am just a little curious about your description of the action on the field & your interpretation of what was written about the game in the local newspaper. You see, I WAS in attendance for BOTH games AND I AM a subscriber to The Courier (Houma's daily newspaper). What I saw on the field was 2 very good high school baseball teams trying to overcome poor umpiring by the crew from the New Orleans area. What I read in the newspaper was Vermillion Catholic's Coach Harrington acknowledging that his strategy of pitching carefully to Gavin Dugas sort of backfired on him when Dylan Trahan got hot & came through in clutch situations with his 3 Homeruns in the 2 games. I did not read anything anywhere about ANYBODY almost winning EITHER game BY HIMSELF. I have been around high school baseball for right at 50 years now & I have yet to see that trick pulled off by ANYONE. Now that old Whopper's got that off his chest--I'd just like to invite everyone that wants to see some really great high school baseball over the next 2 days to come on down to Houma to see Houma Christian vs. Opelousas Catholic. If you can't make it to Houma, check around your area & I'm sure that you'll be able to find some fine games being played. Here's wishing good luck to all of the participants on the field & safe travel for all of the teams, families, & all others heading to & from the games. |

Looks like St. John wins the series. HC wins game 1, 3-0 Houma Christian did take Game One against Opelousas Catholic by the score of 3-0. Senior pitching ace Brock Theriot got the start & hurled a complete game two-hit shutout of the Vikings. Theriot struck out eleven Viking batters & walked none, although he did hit two batters. It was a pitching duel between Theriot & the Vikings starting pitcher Cameron Gauthier until the bottom of the fifth inning. That's when Warriors senior shortstop Gavin Dugas went yard for the ninth time this season, this one a two-run shot with senior utility player Alex Hebert aboard at second base. Hebert was in left field for today's game & is the likely starting pitcher for tomorrow morning's Game Two set to begin at 11:00 A.M. Senior first baseman McCade LeBlanc also went yard with a solo shot of his own in the bottom of the sixth inning. Gauthier was lifted in favor of Kane Armand after going five complete innings. Folks, this was a GREAT ballgame to watch & I expect tomorrow's game (or games) to be just as entertaining. |

Don't like that they are error prone. Five errors today in win, hard to win like that. Saw St. Martins game where they had 7 errors, four by Dugas in loss. Five in loss to St. Thomas More. Can't continue that this deep in tourney. Top 3 hitters .320 last 6 games, need to really elevate game against St John club that is a quality outfit. Wish them luck !!

Or maybe it will be OC that shows dominance. Best of luck to both teams. Well, to all of the naysayers out there, Houma Christian's headed back to Sulphur to take care of some unfinished business & to get all of the hardware that they left behind there last year. This time around, the Warriors refuse to be denied, having waited LONG ENOUGH to make amends for their early departure from McMurry Park last year. To all of you who have not had the opportunity to see the Houma Christian Warriors play, please don't let THIS OPPORTUNITY pass you by. If you do, you'll almost certainly regret having done so because these guys will almost all be going their separate ways after playing TOGETHER for almost a decade. Come experience the fulfillment of these young men's dream of winning a STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. You'll be glad that you did & you may even gain a lifetime memory of it in the process. |

It was the greatest comeback that I have ever witnessed in person at a high school baseball game in my approximately 50 years of attending games. It was truly one for the ages & will not likely ever be forgotten by anyone in attendance on either the winning or the losing side. |
