VYPE Louisiana's Top 20 Rankings - Week 9
By Grant Smith and Ethan MaCloud
Despite the inclement weather across the state last week, the vast majority of the state's top teams took care of business. Isidore Newman and University Lab were the only two top 20 teams to be defeated, both sliding out of the rankings.
The biggest mover in the rankings is Alexandria after picking up their 7th win against a quality Ruston High team. The Alexandria Trojan's only loss of the year came at the hand of #4 West Monroe.
Also at 7-1, Carencro busts into the top 20 with this week after a blowout victory over Abbeville. Their only loss of the season was to #5 Acadiana. Along with the Carencro Bears, East Ascension reenters the top 20.
Next week should provide move of a shakeup in the standings as Bastrop visits Neville and, perhaps the biggest game of the season, #1 John Curtis faces #3 Archbishop Rummel.

VYPE Louisiana's Top 20 Rankings - Week 8
By Grant Smith and Ethan MaCloud
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.
