Published 12:35 am Saturday, November 12, 2011

BATON ROUGE — The Ferriday Trojans saw their season come to an end Friday night as they were blown out by the undefeated University Lab Cubs 46-12 in the bi-district round of the LHSAA Class 2A Playoffs.

“We were outmatched. They had a much better team. They played real well. We did not play well,” Ferriday head coach Richard Oliver said. “We had a lot of youth and inexperience. A lot of kids (on Ferriday’s team) didn’t have a lot of experience. We have to go back to the drawing board.”

University Lab, the No. 6 seed, improved to 11-0 and advanced to next week’s regional round. Ferriday, which got in as the No. 27 seed, finished at 5-6 on the season.

Block 26, Pointe Coupee Central 0

JONESVILLE — Not only was Block’s offense ready to play, but so was its defense, as the Bears shut out the Pointe Coupee Central Cougars Friday night in an LHSAA Class 1A bi-district round game.

Pointe Coupee Central, which entered the playoffs as the No. 21 seed after finishing third in District 6-1A, ended with a 6-5 record. Block, the No. 12 seed and District 4-1A champion, improved to 7-4 overall and will play at undefeated and No. 5 seed St. Martin’s in the regional round next Friday at 7 p.m.

St. Martin’s barely escaped an upset scare from No. 28 seed Delhi Charter with a 14-13 victory.
