The Calvary Baptist Academy football team opened District 1-2A competition with a convincing win at previously unbeaten D’Arbonne Woods last week and moved up a spot to fifth in the Week 5 Class 2A Top 10 statewide poll conducted by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association.
Calvary, a 37-15 winner on the road last Friday, took advantage of a 35-34 loss at Notre Dame by last week’s No. 2 team, Catholic-New Iberia, to climb in the rankings. The Cavs’ next game is a visit from winless Magnolia School of Excellence.
Evangel’s 51-49 win over Airline got noticed by the 11 LSWA voters. The Eagles earned 10 points and are now just three spots out of the Class 5A Top 10.
Also receiving votes in 5A are unbeaten Parkway and Airline.
