It's playoff time. You can tell because we have to play the Jesuit Blue Jays.
Again.
We won our first playoff game against Archbishop Shaw 5-2. I have coached at Destrehan for ten years. We have made six trips to the state tournament and played in two championship games.
In nine seasons we have played the Jays four times, losing three of them. And all of those were in the state championship tournament. One of them was the state championship game in 2005.
There is a ray of hope, however, because we beat them in 2009, at home, in this regional round. I messaged one of my former players and asked him what we wore that day. He remembered it "like it was yesterday."
Pinstripes (in honor of Jesuit), black jerseys and red hats. I believe in Karma. Lots and lots of Karma.
Wish us luck. Lots and lots of luck!
