These teams have met 5 times since 1999.

In 1999 Nolan upset the defending state champ Bulldogs 10-7 denying them a chance at a repeat.

In 2000 Nolan came in with a ton of confidence after beating eventual state champ TCA and pushing a Bishop Lynch squad with Matt Nordgren and Ryan Moats to the limit. Unfortunately too many turnovers did in the Vikings that day, as the Bulldogs advanced.

2003, Kelly must have played a murderers row schedule to have as much ability as they did but have so few wins. They jumped out to a big lead early. Nolan tried to mount a rally, but it was too little too late.

The year is 2007. Kelly has what many people say is one of the best teams in the history of private school football. Not only did they go through the regular season undefeated but they beat one of the best teams in Louisiana as well public or private. Nolan used big plays and ball control offense to stun Kelly that day on their home field and go on to the state championship.

In 2008 Kelly has their chance for revenge a year later taking on a Nolan squad that had stumbled to 4th in district, and barely made the playoffs thanks to the expansion of the bracket to 12 teams that year. Again Nolan upset Kelly and would go on a roll beating Austin St. Mike's, stunning a Johnny Catalano led TCA squad, and avenging an earlier loss to Bishop Lynch in the championship.

Played on the teams that beat kelly in 07 and 08,
Kelly had the size but we had the heart to finish the game i believe.
Saturday will be a great game,
I feel like it's kelly's chance to get back at nolan for taking their spot in the play offs back to back,
For nolan its a chance to overcome last year's disappointing loss against Prestonwood and to defend its record against kelly.

Its gonna come down to who wants it more.
We have the two best teams in tapps, regardless of what people might think, they are. They wouldn't be in the state game if they weren't.
At this point in the season errors and etc. should be a thing of the past and everyone should be on top of their game.
Whoever plays the hardest and the smartest is going to win that game.

Good luck to my vikings! and also to the bulldogs!
Hope no one gets hurt,
and PLEASE. lets have a clean game on both sides!

GO VIKINGS
