Game is on for 1 pm tomorrow at Joe Yenni Stadium in Metairie. Two teams look very evenly matched on paper, so it should be a great matchup, and like I said earlier, it should end up deciding the two seed in D-II with Franklin's PR dropping a lot this week.
I hope one of the East Jeff guys can make it out there and give commentary tomorrow. These are the best teams both of these programs have had in a very long time. Should be a semifinal/final type atmosphere. |

St. Michael wins 2-1. Great game.
East Jeff won a free kick about ten minutes into the second half. The ball never stopped rolling when the EJ player took the kick, so in my opinion the goal they scored on the play should have been called back, but we pulled out the win so ultimately no harm done.
St. Michael scored the winner with seven minutes left when freshman Kyle Segalla wins the ball and slides it through to Mitchell Williams who blasts it past the keeper from 20 yards out. St. Michael almost scored another immediately afterwards but the keeper made a spectacular save to deny the goal.
EJ had one final opportunity with a late free kick but it went right to the keeper.
Very hard fought game. Possession about even between the two teams, and both teams had some great chances to score. Small crowd, but other than that a very playoff-like atmosphere. EJ is a very talented team.
St. Michael has all but locked up the D-II two seed with this result, and with it, a semifinal at Burbank if we make it that far.

Would have liked to see this game. Sounds like a close one.
