Slight separation at top of Week 9 local rankings

JOURNAL SPORTS

Calvary’s victory over Class 5A Huntington and Loyola’s first wobble in its unbeaten season, along with another dominant outing by Northwood, finally broke a three-way snag for third place in the Shreveport-Bossier Journal weekly Top 10 football poll

The Cavs (7-1) took over possession of third place. Northwood (7-1) slipped into fourth and Loyola (8-0) took fifth, with one point separating each team. The Flyers got a third-quarter scare from Booker T. Washington before pulling away.

Parkway’s last-play win over Captain Shreve moved the Panthers to 8-0. They maintained a two-point voting edge over fellow District 1-5A unbeaten Evangel, with those teams heading toward a Week 10 district championship game at ECA.

Airline, Shreve and Huntington maintained their poll positions. A pair of plucky sub-.500 teams,  Byrd and Green Oaks, took the last two spots in this week’s poll.
