When it comes to the Shreveport-Bossier Journal’s weekly Top 10 prep poll, it’s a simple formula: lack of upsets = lack of movement.

Led by No. 1 Airline, the top five teams won last week and all did it rather handily. The next two — Huntington and Captain Shreve — both lost. No. 8 Evangel did win, but the Eagles have already lost to both Huntington and Shreve, so it’s hard to justify moving them up with a worse record and having been defeated by both.

No. 9 Loyola won its third straight game for the second time this season and the Flyers will have their biggest test of the season Friday when they play host to district leader North DeSoto.

There is, however, one change as North Caddo sneaks back into at No. 10. The Titans are officially 3-5 but they are 4-4 “on the field,” having lost a win to an eligibility ruling. North Caddo was also at No. 10 after Week 3.

This week’s only Top 10 matchup will have No. 1 Airline taking on No. 3 Byrd at Lee Hedges Stadium on Friday.

1. Airline (8-0)

2. Parkway (7-1)

3. Byrd (7-1)

4. Calvary (7-2)

5. Northwood (7-1)

6. Huntington (4-4)

7. Capt. Shreve (4-4)

8. Evangel (3-5)

9. Loyola (6-2)

10. North Caddo (3-5)*
