Blue Stream one win away from finals rematch

PLAQUEMINE -- Blue Stream Services battled back from the loser’s bracket Sunday to have a chance for a rematch with Cajun Sting for the Junior American Legion Championship.

Catholic High-based Blue Stream defeated Lakeside 7-0 Sunday and will play the St. Louis Jaxx Monday at 2 p.m. in the loser’s bracket final.

The Jaxx advanced to the final by beating previously unbeaten Cajun Sting 12-10 Sunday afternoon.

While Cajun Sting lost the game, by winning the winner’s bracket final Saturday night with a 4-3 victory over Blue Stream, they were guaranteed a spot in the championship game regardless of Sunday’s outcome.

The New Iberia Senior High-based Sting will play the winner of Blue Stream and Jaxx at 5 p.m. today, setting up the possibility of an all-New Iberia final for the Junior American Legion State Championship.

Both games will be played at Plaquemine High School.
