The Eagle Times

This week the Eagles play the U-High Cubs, an excellent 2A football team.  The Cubs are becoming a powerhouse in 2A Football. This game means a lot to the St. John Eagles because, not only are the Cubs the first 2A team on the Eagles schedule, it will be the Eagles first home game.

            The Eagles Football Players are pumped up about playing their first home game.  It is kind of weird though, because the game is on a Thursday night at Plaquemine High School.  The Eagle Football Team wants their fans to come out and support them tonight, even though it is a week night.

Although it is supposed to be a wet one out there tonight, the Eagles need this game so that everyone in the state can see what the Eagles are made of.  Because the Eagles may be facing wet conditions, you should see the running game early in the game. Personally, I think if they win they can sneak back in the Top10 in 2A Football.  Be on the lookout, as the Eagles fight their way back in the Top10 Rankings in the 2A District.

            I hear that former LSU quarterback Rohan Davey is the U-High Cubs quarterback Coach. The Eagle cornerbacks are very excited, because they know they will get a lot of passes thrown their way.  I hope they are up for the challenge if U-High throws the ball their way.

            Tonight the Eagles are trying for a 2-1 record, so that they can once again be ranked in the Top 10.  It is hard to say, but the State-Runner Ups are still fighting for respect in the 2A class.  I believe the Eagles will be ranked at the end of the season and everybody will be on the bandwagon, once again. So Eagle fans get your umbrellas and raincoats ready, and go support the Eagles.  Be there when our Eagles bring home a victory against the U-High Cubs.  Go Eagles!!
