No. 9 Central Catholic High School will begin the Division IV football postseason Friday night when it travels to face No. 8 Metairie Park County Day.
Both teams will be entering the playoffs looking to bounce back from week 10 losses. Central Catholic (5-4 overall, 4-1 in district) fell to Division IV’s top seed, Vermilion Catholic, 29-0, in the District 8-1A title game, while Country Day (4-4 overall, 1-2 in District 9-1A) dropped a 36-35 decision to Riverside.
Prior to its loss a week ago, Central Catholic had won four straight.
The Cajuns’ offense is led by quarterback Justin Ibieta, a Tulane commit.
