THIBODAUX — The team that opened the season 0-5 is now one of the hottest in the Division II Select bracket. No. 15 E.D. White beat No. 18 George Washington Carver 50-24 Friday night at home in the bi-district round of the LHSAA playoffs.
It was the Cardinals’ sixth straight win. The streak started after a rough first half of the season and picked up steam as key players came back from early injuries. E.D. White has scored at least 48 points in each of its last four games, including a 56-0 win over Morgan City in the regular-season finale.
E.D. White improves to 6-5. Carver’s season is over.
The test gets much tougher from here. The Cardinals will face No. 2 Lake Charles College Prep next week in the second round. College Prep had a first-round bye.
