The Super 6 power rankings (ranking Casey Gisclair’s six best Tri-parish teams):
1. Terrebonne – We’ve had the Tigers as our local champs all season long. Well now they’re more than paper champs, they’re district champs. Congrats to Coach Hill and his staff and players for a job well done!
2. Patterson – Sure, the competition wasn’t exactly stiff, but Patterson sure mauled their opponent this weekend. They are really building steam before the postseason.
3. Vandebilt – Vandebilt just keeps on fighting. They looked real, real good Friday night. One should never doubt how far spirit can carry a football team.
4. Central Catholic – We said last week that we were curious to see how Central Catholic responded after a loss. One would think a 63-6 win is pretty good.
5. E.D. White – Another sound and steady victory for the Cardinals in a thorough win against Berwick.
6. Thibodaux – And alas, Thibodaux returns to the list. After limping (literally due to injuries) to a 1-4 start, Thibodaux has fired back with three-straight wins to get some buzz as they make a playoff push.
