Terriers fall in final of Brothers of the Sacred Heart Cup

HOUMA -- St. Louis got a late goal from Joseph Lapira to beat Vandebilt Catholic 2-1 in the final of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart Cup Saturday at Buddy Marcello Stadium.

The loss snapped a 19-match winning streak for the two-time defending Division II state champion Terriers (7-1).

It was the first time since 1997 a school other than Vandebilt or Brother Martin won the tournament.

"You have got to give credit to St. Louis," Vandebilt coach Doug Hamilton said. "We felt like we were able to win. The disappointment comes from the fact we lost it. The Sacred Heart tournament is a pretty important one amongst Sacred Heart schools. I thought we played outstanding. I’m proud of them.

"I would be remiss not to give St. Louis credit," Hamilton added. "My hat goes off to them. We’re playing a tough schedule this year. A loss like this builds character."

Eight minutes into the match, Rennie Walker scored to give St. Louis a 1-0 lead, which it carried into halftime.

With time in the second half dwindling, Vandebilt’s John Lapeyre headed one past the Saints’ goalie to tie the match at 1.

But St. Louis’ Joseph Lapira answered shortly to give the Saints (5-3) a lead they would not surrender.

"Two state champs meet, we both played like it. I’m excited about being invited and winning it," Jason Oertling. "We hope this will help us defend our title."


Vandebilt 3, St. Thomas More 1

In the semifinals, Jared Wooley scored two goals for Vandebilt and Gordon Blume scored on a header.

Brett Brassau scored the only goal for St. Thomas More (4-2-2).

"It was a good win," Hamilton said. "St. Thomas More is a division rival and we lost to them last year in the regular season. My team played well and to quote Nick Saban, ëWe have to take it one game at a time.’ I have to mention our possession game and Jared Wooley has become a great scorer. The passing went real well, even without Gordon Chaisson, who broke his nose early in the tournament, we have 18 guys we can put anywhere."


St. Louis 1, Brother Martin 0

At Thibodaux, Craig Greenman scored St. Louis’ only goal less than one minute into the second half, giving the Saints a semifinal win in Harvey Peltier Stadium at E.D. White Catholic High School.

St. Louis, the defending Division III state champion, will face Vandebilt Catholic, which won the other semifinal match at Houma.

Brother Martin fell to 3-2-3 on the season.

Congrats to St. Louis for winning the Sacred Heart Cup. Also congrats to Vandy for playing so well in the tourny. St. Louis and Vandy split games in the tournament but St. Louis came away with it in the most important one, the championship game. Also, alot of people thought this would be a rebuilding year for Vandy as they lost every single position to graduation last year, but it looks like they were able to reload with the young guys without much problem. They will be in the mix for the state championship again this year it seems.

Ok somebody obviously screwed up on the scores here. How could St. Louis advance to the semi's if they lost to Catholic BR and Vandy in bracket play or whatever they had.

[m]

Because they both had 2 losses so it came down to a tie breaker system to determine the second place team. Vandebilt (first place team in bracket A) played St. Thomas More (Second Place team in bracket B) in semifinals. Likewise Brother Martin (first place team in bracket B) played St. Louis second place team in bracket A)

When I said "they" both had 2 losses I meant Catholic BR and St. Louis.

[Bish]

Wow, what a messed up tournament. I guess this happened because there were so few teams. I've never heard of anybody advancing with two losses and a win, in any tournament.

[m]

Yes there were only 8 teams with 2 brackets of 4 teams each in the Sacred Heart Cup. The 8 teams in the tournament were the most playing I think in recent years. In years past, the cup was just schools that were run by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, i.e. Vandebilt, E.D. White, Catholic-BR, Brother Martin and St. Stanislaus (Miss). Recently, other Catholic Schools have been invited to play in it also.

Even though it was small, those were 8 really good teams that participated. Congrats to St. Louis.
