Acadiana Schools Dominate Louisiana Class 4A Football, LSWA Poll Finds
LAFAYETTE, La. (103.3 The GOAT) - The latest polls from the Louisiana Sports Writers Association show a lot of Acadiana-area teams are among the top performing in the state - including a Lafayette team sitting atop the Class 4A rankings.
St. Thomas More in Lafayette is currently No. 1 in Class 4A, but the Top 10 for that category is filled with local teams, with more Acadiana-area teams in the Top 10 throughout each class.
STM is currently No. 1 despite a Week 2 loss to Catholic High of Baton Rouge. The 18-14 loss snapped a 25-game win streak held by the Cougars.
Defending state champions Opelousas High are No. 3 on the list, though they were off last week due to Hurricane Francine. Teurlings Catholic came in at No. 4, Cecilia at No. 5, and Westgate at No. 6.
In Class 5A, Acadiana High School sits at No. 4, and in Class 1A, there are a lot of familiar names including Vermilion Catholic at No. 2.
