Game of the Week (pick the score)
St. James at Newman

This one will go a long way in determining who will challenge Curtis in District 10-2A. St. James is traditionally a tough game for Newman, who doesn't really matchup well with the Wildcats.

But Newman has three skill players any school in this area would love to get its hands on. Quarterback Wes Luquette is strong, throwing 17 touchdowns to two interceptions. Receiver Jeffrey Hampton has seven touchdowns and nearly 350 yards receiving on 16 catches. And Ronnie Vinson has 467 yards and five touchdowns rushing as well as 177 yards and two touchdowns receiving.

Newman is 5-0, but here's the catch: The Greenies have won games against a schedule that is a combined 3-22.

St. James is 3-2, but here's the catch: the two losses have come against Destrehan, which is 5-0, and Higgins, which is 4-1 and better than people thought.

I still think the Wildcats will be a little surprised by Newman this year. And the game is at Lupin Field. Home field will help only so much, though.
St. James 35, Newman 27
