St. Augustine holds the top spot in Louisiana’s Class 5A football poll after Week 9, while four other undefeated teams lead their classifications: Westgate, Notre Dame, Ouachita Christian and—alongside St. Augustine—Class 3A’s St. Charles. Several rankings shifted, including East Feliciana’s debut at No. 7 in Class 1A.

By the Numbers
  • Five teams are undefeated and ranked No. 1 in their classes.
  • St. Charles received 11 first-place votes, the most of any top-ranked team.
  • Class 2A has a tie for No. 10: Lake Arthur and Catholic-New Iberia, both with 29 points.
Yes, But

Top ranking doesn’t mean every No. 1 has a perfect record: St. Charles is 8-1, while the other four class leaders are unbeaten.

State of Play
  • St. Augustine, Westgate, St. Charles, Notre Dame and Ouachita Christian remain atop their respective polls.
  • Undefeated Mandeville, North DeSoto and Eunice are among the highest-ranked challengers, sitting at No. 5, No. 3 and No. 3, respectively.
  • East Feliciana entered the Class 1A top 10 at No. 7.
Bottom Line

Louisiana’s polls feature five class leaders with strong claims to the top, but the rankings also show how unbeaten records don’t automatically translate into a No. 1 spot.
