Central Will Need Near Error-Free Game to Defeat Jesuit Blue Jays

The Central Wildcats (1-1) will travel to Metairie Friday afternoon for a 7 p.m. game against the Jesuit Blue Jays, a quality foe who can always be counted on to provide stiff competition.
Jesuit (0-2) is much better than its record would suggest, having lost to two top teams — Warren Easton and St. Paul’s of Covington.
Jesuit is a crisp, well coached team in the mold of St. Thomas More of Lafayette or Catholic High of Baton Rouge.
Central High is coming off an impressive 42-28 victory over Dunham and a disappointing loss to Dutchtown highlighted by seven turnovers. “It doesn’t matter how well you play otherwise, if you have four or more turnovers, you will lose,” Central head coach Sid Edwards said.
“We can beat Jesuit but we will have to play error-free or nearly error-free ball,” he said.
The game will be held at Baby Cakes Field, located at 6800 Airline Highway in Metairie. The team will leave at 4:15 p.m.
Central’s strength is its defensive line. Overall, the defense is solid. Central’s offense needs to come together in order to be the same team that defeated Dunham.
The game is all the more interesting because Coach Sid coached at Jesuit before coming to Central.
