Captain Shreve, riding a seven-game win streak, has moved into the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Class 5A football Top 10 statewide LSWA poll.
The Gators, who set a single-game school scoring record last Thursday night with a 65-35 blasting of Benton, will finish the regular season at Haughton Friday with a chance to go undefeated in District 1-5A for the first time.
Monday’s No. 9 state ranking in the sports writers’ poll is the Gators’ first appearance in the LSWA Top 10 since the third week of last season when they were seventh.
Calvary remained undefeated at 9-0 and continues to be the top-ranked team in 2A. The Cavaliers posted their second straight shutout and third in four games with a 52-0 win at Lakeside.
Airline in 5A and Evangel in 4A are receiving votes.
