A pair of #2 seeds were beaten in the regional round, Notre Dame in 3-A (by Patterson) and St. Thomas More in 5-A (by Mandeville). One #3 seed, West Monroe in 5-A is out (by Acadiana). There are lower seed CInderellas alive in all but one class. In 1-A, it's 23rd seed Desire Street, in 3-A, that would be 23rd seed St. Louis, 4-A features 20th seed O. Perry Walker, and 5-A is 28 seeded Westgate. 2-A has held form with seeds 1 through 7 and #9 all still alive. Let's take a shot at tonight's game predictions:

1-A
**#8 Ouachita Christian over #1 Cedar Creek (the home team prevails)
**#13 West St. John over #5 Kentwood (this one's for Coach Dupont)
#3 South Plaquemines over #11 St. Edmund (no way to stop this bunch)
**#23 Desire Street over #2 Oak Grove (at home and athletic)
 
2-A
#1 John Curtis over #9 St. John (setting up a dream match with Evangel)
#4 Evangel over #5 Newman (too tall a task for the Greenies)
#3 Calvary Baptist over #6 Clinton (Clinton was fortunate to advance)
#2 St. James over #7 Donaldsonville (will be closer than last year's game)
 
3-A
#1 Parkview Baptist over #8 Amite (will be competitive)
#5 Lutcher over #4 Redemptorist (could be night's best game)
#3 Westlake over #11 E.D. White (Cards have had a great season)
#15 Patterson over #23 St. Louis (too many athletes)
 
4-A
#1 Shaw over #8 Eunice (Eagles adjusting without key players)
#5 Holy Cross over #20 O.P. Walker (could be lots of points here)
#3 Vandebilt Catholic over #6 Benton (could be lots of points here, too!)
#2 Bastrop over #7 Franklinton (can you say high scoring again?)
 
5-A
#1 Destrehan over #9 St. Paul (Wildcats can smell the Dome)
**#28 Westgate over #20 Dutchtown (The glass slipper fits)
**#14 Acadiana over #6 Rummel (Shorter week, home, healthier, but close)
**#18 Mandeville over #7 John Ehret (will be a great game)
