Written by Ted Lewis of The Times-Picayune:
Since two of his players’ fathers are Saints assistants, Mandeville Coach Guy Lecompte probably could have scored tickets to Monday’s game.
“What game?” Lecompte asked in all innocence Monday morning. “To tell you the truth, I didn’t even know they were playing.”
Such is the tunnel vision for a coach whose team has made it to the semifinal round of the playoffs, especially for the first time in school history.
“It’s a great feeling,” said Lecompte, whose team travels to West Monroe on Friday for their Class 5A game. “But you want to keep winning so you work and work until you get a game plan in place.

Picayune Linebacker Duo Reminiscent Of Sam Mills
Written by Rick Cleveland of The Clarion Ledger:
The last time this 5-foot, 10-inch sports writer interviewed a linebacker who looked up at me, he was the late, so very great Sam Mills, an All-Pro for first the New Orleans Saints and then the Carolina Panthers.
His teammates called Mills Mighty Mouse. Saints fans called him PacMan. Opposing running backs called him Sir. He was a tackling machine. The program listed Mills at 5 feet, 9 inches tall, and I still believe the program was fudging.

Versatile Quarterbacks Highlight Petal vs Biloxi Second Round Playoff Match Up
Looking forward to hitting tonight's 2nd round 6A Playoff Game between Biloxi and Petal at Biloxi High School. After stumbling early in the season, both teams are riding an 8 game win streak with the Petal Panthers coming in at 9-3 while the Biloxi Indians are 10-2. In addition to both teams being red hot at the moment, another common denominator is versatility at QB. Petal QB Anthony Alford, who is uncommitted, was a preseason Dandy Dozen pick by The Clarion Ledger and Scout.Com has him ranked as the state's third highest recruit. Alford has definitely lived up to those expectations demonstrating his dual weapon capability with 1550 passing yards and 1324 rushing yards on the season.
Biloxi junior Quarterback Jaylen Woullard may have had the biggest breakthrough season of any player in the whole state and is sure to be a top recruit for 2013. While leading the Indians to their most team wins since 1968, Woullard has provided plenty of razzle-dazzle throwing for 1899 yards and rushing for 1013. He has also pushed scoreboard operators to their limits accounting for 37 total touchdowns with 23 coming through the air and 14 on the ground.
Kickoff is in two hours . Gotta go get ready!
