Week 1 upsets shake up Louisiana high school football rankings

Louisiana high school football rankings saw significant shifts following the first week of competition. Losses by top-ranked programs Neville, University, and Haynesville triggered a reshuffling of the Louisiana Sports Writers Association polls across multiple classifications. Ruston ascended to the top of Class 5A after a decisive victory over Neville, which also prompted Westgate to claim the premier spot in the 4A rankings. Meanwhile, St. Charles moved to the top of the 3A poll, and Ouachita Christian assumed the No. 1 position in 1A after defeating Haynesville. Several programs, including Acadiana, Brother Martin, and Cecilia, entered the rankings for the first time this season. Sportswriters from across the state continue to evaluate these shifts as teams prepare for their second week of regular-season action.
