By james art There were no changes at the top of the latest LSWA high school football polls released Monday morning. But there was noticeable movement in one poll.
In Class 5A, unseeded defending Division I champion Ruston (6-2) fell three spots to No. 6 after losing a District 2-5A game to Alexandria.
In turn, Alexandria moved up to No. 4. Karr continues to be the top-ranked 5A team.
The other No. 1 teams, Teurlings Catholic in 4A, University High in 3A, Newman in 2A and 1A Vermilion Catholic, also stayed put.
Ascension Episcopal (6-1), ranked No. 10 in 1A, was the lone newcomer in the polls, voted on by a panel of LSWA members from across the state.
