Karr takes Class 5A top spot, Neville moves to second in post-week 7 CCS state football rankings – Crescent City Sports

The Edna Karr Cougars have established themselves as an elite program in Louisiana for many years. However, there remains a hunger in the program which has not won a state title since 2019. That could change in 2024, given the way the Cougars are currently playing.

After remaining unbeaten with a win over Jesuit, Karr has ascended to the No. 1 spot in the Crescent City Sports Top 10 rankings for Week 8.

Neville moves up to a close second after a significant victory over previously unbeaten Ruston, which has now fallen to third. Acadiana ranks fourth, while Catholic of Baton Rouge is fifth. Unbeaten Dutchtown rounds out the top ten.

In 4A, Teurlings Catholic holds the No. 1 spot, bolstered by a strong win over E.D. White Catholic. Franklin Parish is third, followed by West Ouachita in fourth and E.D. White now in fifth. North DeSoto reenters the rankings at No. 10.

University Lab remains at the top in 3A, with unbeaten Bunkie in second. Erath is third, followed by Madison Prep in fourth and St. James in fifth.

In Class 2A, unbeaten Dunham is still No. 1, with Newman in second. Ouachita Christian is third, Calvary Baptist is fourth, and Oak Grove moves up to fifth. Ferriday enters the rankings at No. 10.

Unbeaten Vermilion Catholic continues to lead in 1A, followed by unbeatens Haynesville, St. Edmund, Catholic of Pointe Coupee, and Covenant Christian rounding out the top five.
