The setup

Both need a district win; SLC’s Jack Credeur had an 84-yard kickoff return TD in Week 7 (game coverage).

T-Rohn says: St. Louis Catholic at Washington-Marion, two Lake Charles schools close enough that the whole game is basically a neighborhood block party with a scoreboard.

W-M threw 29 times vs Welsh (Damond Bellard 15-29, 125 yds).

T-Rohn says: Concession forecast for a crosstown game: everybody knows the cook, everybody has notes on the cook, and the cook is not taking notes.

The pick

TAKE: St. Louis Catholic 33, Washington-Marion 27 — St. Louis Catholic is 1-2 in district while Washington-Marion is 0-3 and lost 56-13 at Welsh last week (American Press).
