While we await the launch, the Patriots defeated the Fontainebleau Bulldogs in the Jamboree 22-0 and have defeated the Mandeville Skippers 20-3 in the season opener. The Patriots travel to play at East St. John next Friday night.
The Patriots defense throttled the high powered East St. John offense in the highly anticipated matchup between the two teams. The Wildcats were the last team to defeat the Patriots nearly two years ago. The defense also scored two touchdowns as Conner Mullins pounced on a fumble in the endzone, which gave the Patriots a 28-0 lead at the time. Leading up to that, Blaine LeBlanc scored two touchdowns, one on the first posession of the game, and Matt Saucier scored the other. Capping off the scoring was a Jonathan McKnight interception return for a TD that made the final score 34-7. The Wildcats lone score came on a kickoff return for a TD.

2005 State Champs!!!
The setting was quite different than any championship game each team member had ever been a part of. Their was not one thing about the game that was routine in any way. It was cold, outdoor, sunny, no Mr. Curtis, Sr. in his white suit, and the Patriots donned red pants for the first time ever. However, once the game started, the Patriots were about as routine as could be. The defense was the story of the day as it dominated the Comets from the start. The Patriots held the Comets to just 178 yards of total offense, with 91 of those coming on the last drive of the game, and just 55 yards total rushing. The defense kept the Comet offense off of the scoreboard, with the Comets only points coming on a fumble return for a TD. The defense also produced points on a Jacob Dufrene sack and score in the second quarter. The Patriot offense moved the ball well early in the game, but two turnovers deep in Comet territory evaporated Patriot drives. The defense forced three straight 3-and-outs and Joe McKnight hauled in a punt at the Patriot 45 yard line. Three fierce blocks by Colby Arceneaux, John Ruttley and Jonathan English sprung McKnight loose and he made the punter miss and waltzed into the endzone for a 6-0 lead. Kelby Weurtz then intercepted a Comet pass and ran 31 yards to set up Kyle Collura's 3 yard QB sneak for a 12-0 lead, following two missed extra point attempts. Dufrene's touchdown gave the Patriots an 18-0 lead. On the try for two points following the TD, Kyle Collura's pass fell incomplete and his head fell victim to the Independence Bowl turf. Collura took a good hit and his head whiplashed to the ground and was knocked coo-coo and was taken out of the game by the John Curtis medical staff. To end the first half, the Comets faced third and goal from the Patriot three yard line with just :09 seconds remaining and out of timeouts. The Comets tried to pass, and under heavy pressure, the Comet QB threw to their star player #5 Casey Robottom. McKnight stepped in front and hauled in the pass and raced down the Patriot sideline for an apparent 97 yard TD. However, the TD was called back on a penalty, but the Patriots had sapped away any momentum the Comets tried to get. In the second half, on the Patriots' first possession of the third quarter, QB Matt Saucier threw a hitch pass to McKnight and sophomore P.J. Smith had a great block and McKnight found his way into the endzone for a 24-0 lead. A fumbled pitchout was then returned for a TD by the Comets and following a failed 2-point attempt, the Patriots led 24-6. The nail in the coffin was hammered down, again by Joe, with a 58 yard TD run, which sealed his MVP performance voted on by the media covering the game. Joe shifted the accolades to his teammates quoting that the defense played so well that the entire defense deserved the award and that the punt return was set up by great blocking. Also, on his yards, the O-Line had great blocking and P.J. had a great block on the hitch pass. All he had to do was run to the endzone. Junior running back David Seeman finished with 89 yards rushing on 13 carries. Contrast that to the MVP performance by St. Charles Catholic running back who had 62 yards rushing on 13 carries. The Patriots were truly an unstoppable force in this year's playoffs. Yes, the Patriots struggled to find their groove in early Post-Katrina games against East St. John and Choctawhatchee, Florida. But, I don't think anybody will argue with the end result. Clearly, the Patriots established themselves as not only the top team in 2A, but possibly the top team in ANY classification.
