Cold weather or not, it was a big night last night in High School football across Louisiana. In semi-final action, Sterlington beat Jena 48 to 14.  It was ED White over Leesville 41 to 13.  It was a close one as Edna Karr took down Catholic High 21 to 19 and Central upset Neville 17 to 13.  The Wildcats will now play Ruston next Saturday in the division one non-select championship game.  And Alexandria Senior High is headed to the Dome for the first time to play for their first state championship.

In college action, Lafayette hosts the Sun Belt Conference Football Championship.  The Cajuns take on Marshall for all the marbles tonight at 6:30.
