Alexandria Senior High marched into the LHSAA football quarterfinals with a 38-27 victory at home last Friday night over Brother Martin, but the second round of postseason was not so kind to Menard and Tioga.

Tioga (8-3) was stopped 45-21 at home by perennial state power Archbishop Rummel (8-4).

Menard (7-5) ended its season in New Orleans, falling 42-13 at fourth-seeded Newman (7-2).

ASH got a four-touchdown, 240-yard night from running back Kason Williams. Jaytun Terry intercepted two Crusaders passes as the Trojans (9-2), seeded fifth, put away No. 12 Brother Martin (7-5).

The victory sends ASH into the Select Division I quarterfinals and a visit to Baton Rouge Friday night to take on fourth-seeded Catholic, which handled No. 20 Captain Shreve 37-6.
