Rough Night for SWLA Basketball Teams
Southwest Louisiana had a lot on the line Friday night on basketball courts across the state.
In Monroe, the Saint Louis Lady Saints and the South Beauregard Lady K's played for their respective state championships. While in Baton Rouge, the DeRidder Dragons were hoping to punch their ticket to the Boys' Top 28 state tournament.
Unfortunately, all three of the SWLA schools ended up on the wrong end of the scoreboard.
#4 Saint Louis was defeated 63-41 by #3 Capitol in the Class 3A state championship game. Remarkably, it is the fourth consecutive year that the Lady Saints have seen their season end at the hands of Capitol.
In the Class 2A state championship #2 South Beauregard was upended by #1 John Curtis 51-41. It was a dramatic day for the Greene family from Dry Creek. The South Beauregard Lady K's are coached by Chris Greene, who's brother Mike Greene is the head coach for the DeRidder boys' basketball team.
#7 DeRidder lost at #2 Glen Oaks 80-57, denying DeRidder it's second trip to the state tournament since 1977. DeRidder was the lone boys' basketball team from SWLA to advance to the quarterfinals.
Southwest Louisiana has one last opportunity to claim a basketball state championship. The top-seeded Fairview Lady Panthers take on #3 Zwolle in the Class B state final. The two teams will square off at noon tomorrow at the Fant-Ewing Coliseum in Monroe.

Lady Saints do it again!
Friday afternoon the Saint Louis Lady Saints wrapped up their season with a second straight Division III soccer state championship. Saint Louis defeated Sacred Heart 4-0 at Independence Stadium in Shreveport.
Last year the Lady Saints also defeated Sacred Heart in the state championship game 2-1.
"It was amazing when the final whistle blew and the scoreboard read 4-0," Lady Saints head coach Duncan McDonald said. "It didn't hit me at first. It took a while to sink in, and now that it has, it feels a lot more satisfying this year."
Saint Louis scored three goals during a five minute span midway through the first half to take complete control of the game.
Most of the goals were not scored by the Lady Saints' usual suspects. Senior Maddy Landry scored a goal and had an assist and was named the Champinship game MVP. However, the rest of the Saint Louis goals were scored by freshmen.
Kelsey Ellender, Amber Doiron and Jodi Chatters each found the back of the net letting everybody know that the future looks bright for the Saint Louis Lady Saints soccer program.
"Some of the girls that scored have been role players all year that would come in and give our starters a rest," McDonald said. "They came through big time! Obviously they were listening because they knew where to be, they knew where to run, and they knew how to finish a ball."
