There’s movement this week, more to come soon, in the local ranks

It’s the halfway point of the regular season and there’s been some movement in the Shreveport Bossier Journal Top 10 weekly poll.

The Top 2 teams — Parkway and Airline — are still the Top 2, though both had narrow victories last week.. And guess who plays each other this week? That’s right, it’ll be No. 1 Parkway at No. 2 Airline on Friday night.

Huntington, fresh off its win over Evangel, moves into the No. 3 spot, the highest the Raiders have been this year after opening the season at No. 9.

Byrd dropped two places to No. 5 after falling to Parkway but Captain Shreve stayed put (No. 6) with a wild 69-68 loss to Airline.

The last three teams in the poll all lost but held their spots — Evangel by a point to No. 3 Huntington, Loyola to undefeated Minden and B.T. Washington by a touchdown to District 1-4A leader North DeSoto.

There should be plenty of shakeup after this week’s play. Other Top 10 matchups this week are Evangel vs. Captain Shreve at Lee Hedges Stadium (Thursday), Byrd taking on Huntington at Independence Stadium (Friday) and BTW traveling to Northwood at Jerry Burton Stadium (Friday).
