The Class 5A top 10 and all classifications’ No. 1 teams held steady in the Louisiana Sports Writers Association’s latest statewide football polls.
But stability didn’t remain the theme much past there after another chaotic weekend of results early in the season.
Another long list of highly ranked teams suffered losses in Week 2, and the LSWA polls have shaken up accordingly to kick off Week 3.
