Week 7 of the high school football season did not provide much of a shakeup in the rankings. The top 10 maintains their spots after taking care of business. Acadiana was particularly impressive, blanking New Iberia 46-0.
Another impressive performance last week came from a previously unranked team. Lafayette Christian Academy shoots up to #13 after defeating the previously undefeated Notre Dame Pioneers. Lafayette Christian will take on Port Barre next week, hoping to improve on their 6-1 record.
Week 7 was also full of stellar individual performances. Down in New Orleans, Rummel's Koy Moore and Isidore Newman's Arch Manning both put on a show. Moore hauled in 8 passes for nearly 100 yards and a TD. In Newman's big win over Riverside, Manning threw for 289 yards and 5 TDs.
Week 8 will be another exciting week with Neville vs. Bastrop, Rummel vs. St. Augustine, and Isidore Newman vs. St. Charles.

Being a five-star, national recruit Fatou Samb could pretty much choose anywhere in the country to play at the next level.
The Westside senior's final Top 5 included Rice, Harvard, Michigan, Wake Forest and Cal Berkeley.
In the end, the No. 53-rated women's basketball prospect in the country, according to ESPN, decided "California is Home."
"Now that it's over, it feels like a huge release," Samb told VYPE. "I'm glad that it's not too heavy on my shoulders anymore but I can honestly say I learned a lot from this blessed experience. I can now focus on the senior season/year ahead, working to strength relationships, and getting better! Would also like to thank all the Coaches along the recruiting process that took time to recruit me and my family! I'm so excited for my time with the Bears!"

Samb based her decision on three values – academics, relationships and basketball development.
Cal Berkeley checked the boxes when it came to all three categories.
"Academically, their business school (the field I want to major in) and undergraduate program is the best in the nation with plenty of connections that would be helpful because basketball is bound to stop at some point," Samb said. "Relationship wise, all schools were great however I felt a deeper connection with Berkeley staff. From our conversation, I could feel their want to make me a better person in all aspects of my life and help me reach new heights. Also, the team was easy to vibe with and oh we're cold basketball wise, I trust and believe Coach Charmin and the staff have what it takes to help me reach my potential and further!"
Samb enters her senior season at Westside trying to get back to at least the Regional Finals, which the Wolves fell short in a year ago to Summer Creek.
Here ... we ... go!
Week 8 of the Texas high school football season is in the books with just a handful of games left on the slate. Atascocita and Shadow Creek protected their perfect district marks on Friday with wins. Shadow Creek looked ultra-impressive against Friendswood.
Fort Bend Travis upended Ridge Point on Thursday to take over the top dog spot in District 20-6A, while Katy won its 70th-straight district game. Yes, 70th-straight. What a week it was for a lot of area teams.
