Top 10 in latest Louisiana High School football rankings

1. Ruston 

Previous: No. 1
The Bearcats remain as the top team in the state after handling Midland Legacy (Texas) 38-6 over the weekend. Up next, they’ll face 5-0 Stephenville out of the Lone Star State in what should be a great tilt.

2. Acadiana

Previous: No. 2
Acadiana demolished a previously unbeaten New Iberia squad 62-9 over the weekend to move to 3-1. Sulphur comes to town on Friday night in a game the Rams are heavily favored to win by the On3 Massey Ratings.

3. Archbishop Rummel

Previous: No. 3
The Raiders are still unblemished after winning a 14-7 defensive battle over No. 15 John Curtis Friday night. Another big test awaits when they head to No. 12 Brother Martin this weekend.

4. Neville 

Previous: No. 8 (+4)
Neville has been skyrocketing up the rankings, and their latest win was a 30-7 blowout of St. Thomas More, who entered the week just outside the top 10.

5. Catholic 

Previous: No. 4 (-1)
After being upset by University Lab last weekend at home, Baton Rouge Catholic got things back on track with a 31-14 statement victory over No. 14 West Monroe. After a bye week, they’ll face Liberty Magnet on October 11.

6. Alexandria

Previous: No. 7 (+1)
The Trojans stayed undefeated, surviving a 43-40 thriller against Opelousas. Winless Many High will come to Alexandria on Friday before the Trojans host top-15 West Monroe the following week.

7. Zachary 

Previous: No. 5 (-2)
After barely squeaking past Carencro last week, the Broncos had a bye this weekend ahead of their meeting with Opelousas on Friday.

8. Edna Karr

Previous: No. 12 (+4)
The Cougars are a new entrant into the top 10 after waxing Holy Cross 45-20. A huge New Orleans-area matchup is coming on Friday though as they head to play at St. Augustine.

9. Central 

Previous: No. 9
Central made easy work of Cecilia in a 27-0 shutout, and will prepare to face Lafayette Christian on Friday in what the On3 Massey Ratings predicts as a toss-up game.

10. Teurlings Catholic 

Previous: No. 13 (+3)
The Rebels are another new addition to the top 10 after they walloped Westgate 42-20 over the weekend. They’re predicted to be heavy favorites in each of their final six games of the regular season.
