Story courtesy of Ted Lewis, The Times-Picayune
COVINGTON — It didn’t matter than Acadiana had ended St. Paul’s football and baseball seasons last year.
“This is soccer,” senior fullback Doug DURAND said of the Wolves’ 2-1 Division I quarterfinal victory against the Wrecking Rams Tuesday at Hunter Stadium. “Nobody even mentioned it.”
And it hasn’t mattered all year that St. Paul’s is the defending state champion.
“We’ve put it out of our mind,” said DURAND, whose penalty kick goal in the 59th minute provided Tuesday’s winning margin. “We don’t wear our rings any more.
“Last year was last year. This year is this year.”
