And the No. 1-seeded (12-0) West Monroe Rebels just played their third straight game Friday (two of them playoff games) with a running clock in the second half.
Capt. Shreve just couldn't figure out what was going on at Don Shows Field after their team entrance featured two smoke torches leading the way and polluting the atmosphere. Putrid green smoke, mixed with turdy yellow smoke clouded/hung over the Gators purpose for several minutes about the stadium. (Faced the same $hit at USM Saturday, but the breeze lifted the ugly black/gold smoke quickly).
I mean, when the whole team at the end of pregame drills goes down to the student section to taunt the WM students . . . you wonder what planet upon which they live. Oh well, 43-0 goes to show you Shreveport football STILL has not caught up with the northeastern La. schools. (Four 2-5A teams filled the top fourth of the Class 5A bracket with a fifth district team on the opposite side of the bracket.)
The West Monroe tailback sat out with a foot injury most of last week and Friday. The "next man up" the last two weeks has had dominating performances. The Ruston Bearcats come to West Monroe Friday night at the Don. Should be one of the better playoff games being played.
