Nov 04, 2019
By Grant Smith and Ethan MaCloud
For the first time this season, there is a new #1 team in the state of Louisiana. After an overtime thriller, the Rummel Raiders took down the previously #1 John Curtis Patriots. The gritty Raiders continue to find ways to close out games strong. Down 14-0 to start, Rummel came back and held on, 21-20, with a game saving defensive stand on Curtis' last second two-point conversion attempt.
Elsewhere around the state, St. Thomas More got back on track defeating Carencro. The STM Cougars definitely look like the team to beat in the upcoming Division II playoffs. Also making a run in the Division II playoffs will be the Neville Tigers. They moved to 6-2 after a win over a good Bastrop team.
Week 10 will bring another impressive slate of district matchups as teams prepare for a playoff push. John Curtis looks back to get back on track against Brother Martin. Catholic (BR) will also play a district deciding matchup against one loss Dutchtown. Ruston vs. West Monroe and Westgate vs. Carencro will also be great games to follow in this final week of the LHSAA regular season.

VYPE Louisiana's Top 20 Rankings - Week 9
Oct 29, 2019
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.
