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.
