Soccer is a sport that always has great success in Ascension Parish. That trend continued this past season.<\/p>\n
In girl's soccer, two Ascension Parish teams reached the second round of the playoffs.<\/p>\n
Of the three parish schools in the district, Dutchtown had the most productive season. The Lady Griffins went 16-4-1 during the regular season. This included an undefeated run in district competition, earning them an outright district championship.<\/p>\n
Dutchtown earned the No. 8 seeding in the Division-I playoffs and hosted a first-round game against No. 25 West Jefferson. The Lady Griffins dominated, taking the game, 8-0.<\/p>\n
They advanced to the next round, where they again hosted a game--this time against No. 9 St. Scholastica. Unfortunately for the Lady Griffins, this is where their season ended. They were defeated, 2-1.<\/p>\n
St. Amant had another impressive year. The Lady Gators finished the regular season with a 13-5-1 record. This included a runner-up finish in the district.<\/p>\n
The Lady Gators entered the playoffs as the No. 10 seed. They hosted Barbe in the first round and cruised to a 5-0 victory.<\/p>\n
St. Amant then advanced to the second round, where it traveled to play seventh-seeded Northshore. The Lady Gators' season ended there with a 2-1 defeat.<\/p>\n
The only team that didn't make the postseason was East Ascension. The Lady Spartans had their share of struggles in 2021. They finished with an overall record of 3-11, and they missed out on the playoffs for the second straight season.<\/p>\n
But there were multiple East Ascension players that made the All-Parish team.<\/p>\n
