Louisiana 5A #1 St. Paul Shoots For Undefeated Regular Season Against Fountainbleau Tonight

The St. Paul Wolves of Covington are ranked #1 in the Louisiana 5A Classification and are shooting for an undefeated regular season tonight against rival Fountainbleau.  It would be the 29th consecutive regular season victory for the Wolves.  Early in the season I watched St. Paul's defeat defending State Champion Acadiana in the Sugar Bowl Prep Classic 15-14 in a last minute thriller at the Superdome.  The article below from The Times-Picayune mentions that despite the Wolves' success they have a shortage of Division I college prospects with only senior running back Dylan Long getting his sole offer from McNeese State.  While the Wolves may lack superstars they play very well as a team together with no real weaknesses. Quarterback Patrick Duncan is an effective passer and provides strong leadership making the players around him better.  The Wolves also brought a very large and enthusiastic fan base to the Superdome that September evening with a big time band all which helped bring a college football atmosphere to their style of play.  As far as future recruiting prospects for the Wolves, keep an eye on junior defensive back Jay Washington.  While it was hard to gauge his cover skills because of Acadiana's few passing attempts, Washington provided excellent running support in the Sugar Bowl Prep Classic and displayed the necessary physical style of play to become a top notch SEC cornerback or safety.

Here is more on the Wolves from Ted Lewis on Nola.Com:

St. Paul's regular-season run of success has gotten to the point where it's being taken for granted, at least by the outside world.
But it has reached this point — 28 straight games during the last three seasons going into tonight's finale against Fontainebleau — precisely because the Wolves don't take anything for granted.
"We go out each week knowing each team we play is going to give us their best game," senior running back Dylan Long said. "So we understand that if we want to keep winning, we've got to prepare right and do all of the little things right.
