Here’s a look at a few of this season’s top Louisiana matchups:

October 2nd – #2 Acadiana vs. #8 Lafayette Christian

The Acadiana Wreckin Rams completed the school’s first undefeated season with an 8-to-3 win over Destrehan in LHSAA Class 5A. It is the fifth state championship in school history. Acadiana loses a lot on offense but returns defensive end Cam George who received nearly two dozen offers but committed to the Ragin’ Cajuns of Louisiana.

Lafayette Christian won its third state title last year with a convincing 41-14 thrashing of St. Charles in the LHSAA DIII championship game. The Knights are 39-2 over the last three seasons.

5-Star safety Sage Ryan enters his senior season for the Knight’s as the #2 rated player in Louisiana. He’s also considered the #1 safety and the 28th overall prospect in the nation. Ryan is a threat on both sides of the ball including special teams. He’s received offers from a who’s who of college teams including LSU, Alabama and Clemson. The Knights also have several heavily recruited juniors including DT Fitzgerald West.

October 9th – #29 Terrebonne vs. # 24 Hahnville

Two years ago, Terrebonne reached the quarterfinals and this season they come into the 2020 campaign with the state’s top high school prospect leading their defense. Maason Smith is a five-star defensive tackle that stands at 6-5, 316 lbs.

Hahnville has a new coach in former offensive coordinator Daniel Luquet. The Tigers return eight players on offense and expect to see Hahnville throw the football more with  Luquet at the helm.

November 20th – Dutchtown vs. #4 Catholic High

The Catholic Bears are one of the most consistent teams in the state, with three straight trips to the Division One title game. The Bears will once again be solid on the offensive line led by junior OT Emery Jones, who has offers from Alabama and Florida.

Dutchtown has been a Class 5A playoff team every since head coach Guy Mistretta arrived at the Ascension Parish school in 2017. His offense will revolve around 5’8″ 3-star junior running back
