"I told the kids if we finish this tonight and get in the playoffs, you don’t know how much fun this can be," said LePage, a former Jeff City assistant who led Blair Oaks to five straight Class 2 playoff appearance from 2001-05. "The playoffs are the epitome of what every high school kid wants to go through. I said, ‘Let’s win this tonight so you all can experience it, because once you do, it’s very addictive.’ "
"I started to back up like it was a normal kickoff, but then I saw it was an onside," said Mason, a 195-pound defensive end who leads the Kewpies with seven sacks. "I just ran upfield, caught the ball and had the momentum.
The Jays will host a Class 6 quarterfinal at 7 p.m. Friday against Francis Howell Central (8-2), which defeated Francis Howell North 27-16 last night for the District 5 title.
