Fresh off a road win at Evangel, the Byrd Yellow Jackets moved into the top 3 spot in the weekly Shreveport-Bossier Journal Top 10 poll.
No. 1 Parkway and No. 2 Airline both had solid wins to hold their position in the poll, but the Jackets, who have moved up one spot every week, are at No. 3 after a 35-23 win over the Eagles. All of the top three are undefeated.
So is No. 7 Northwood, but the Falcons’ opponents have a combined record of 1-8. They will open play in District 1-4A in a big way when they take on North DeSoto in Stonewall, where the Griffins are stinging from a surprising blowout loss to West Monroe.
The new team in the poll is North Caddo (2-1) after a 36-32 win over Southwood last Thursday night. The Titans, who weathered two successful onside kicks in the fourth quarter, come in at No. 10 in this week’s poll.
The only game involved two Top 10 teams this week will happen in north Bossier when the Airline plays host to No. 8 Evangel.

- Parkway (3-0)
