OPELOUSAS -- There is an old adage in sports that says it is hard to beat a team three times in one season.
That adage held true here Monday afternoon, as the Sacred Heart Lady Trojans took sweet revenge on the Opelousas Catholic Lady Vikings in a 4-3 bi-district playoff win.
The two teams had met twice in the regular season, as they are part of the same district. The Lady Vikings defeated the Lady Trojans in both meetings.
However, the tenacity of a focused Sacred Heart team would not allow Opelousas Catholic another win in the ongoing rivalry between the two teams.
With the win, Sacred Heart advances to the regional round of the playoffs and will travel to Crowley on Friday to take on another district foe, Notre Dame. The Lady Pioneers defeated Oakdale Monday by the score of 15-0.
“Big win for the girls, the coaching staff and the fans,” stated an elated Sacred Heart head coach Glenn Lafleur. “I just told the girls, if you play your game, you will win. The girls played great. I told them they had to play their best game, and they did. Baylee Veillon did a great job on the mound today. They deserve this win; they have worked hard all season. My two assistant coaches Bill Ramirez and Rene Soileau deserve high praise for they work that they do. They are a major reason our season has been so successful.”
