Loyola homecoming canceled after LHSAA ends Carroll's season

Messmer Stadium in Loyola was silent on the evening of October 16, 2026, as the school's homecoming game was canceled. The Louisiana High School Athletics Association (LHSAA) ended Carroll High's football season due to an off-field fight, impacting Loyola's scheduled game against them. Attempts to find a replacement opponent were unsuccessful, resulting in a forfeit victory for Loyola. The Flyers aim to use the unexpected break to recover from injuries as they prepare for future games. The homecoming activities will still take place at a later date, allowing the court to be recognized.
