And then there were two

Well, with two weeks of the playoffs remaining there are but two northwest Louisiana teams still standing - Evangel and Minden.

Unless Minden upsets defending state 4A champion Bastrop on Friday, that number will be either one or none depending on the Evangel-Kentwood game.

I've thought all along this wasn't a very strong year for the area. That much is being proven out in the playoffs.

Still, Evangel figures to be a state championship team. And, if Minden wins on Friday, then there's a chance for two state champions from the area.

This is all cyclical. Hopefully, the future will be brighter.
