Especially when the big kid in the pool looks a little smaller than usual First hand account…. Grand Lake is a solid ball club but not as near as good as last year in my opinion and with the lost of one of their top athletes to a leg injury, every thing would have to line up just right for them to make it back to the big show this year….not saying it’s impossible. Fair, I was just saying the top dogs in 1A for the last few years seem to be having a rough start. And even with that, they still might win 1A again and are probably the favorites.

These are facts swla is down this year. Grand Lake could make a little push Grand Lake could make a run but that's because its easy to swim in a six inch deep swimming pool. More or less what happened last year

How is DQ not a pretender. There was alot of preseason hype surrounding them following a jamboree victory against a bad LaGrange team. Then well we know the rest.

OG had a rough start but they played 3 teams way better thean anybody they will see in 1-A non select and 2 of those games came down to the last 2-3 minutes and even the Sterlington game was close in the 3rd. They still have to be heavy favorites in 1-A

Turnovers bud.. if you eliminate the 7 turnovers we had the first 2 games we would’ve been 2-0 going into week 3 and obviously 3-0 now but 💩 happens..

Wouldn’t be so quick as some of you to count out Rosepine and Iowa. Both teams are loaded with talent. With the right breaks, I think both could be contenders. last time Rosepine was this explosive Lake Arthur upset them in the first round

East Beauregard a couple times too in the early 2000's. I'm referring to the Beauregard/vernon parish area

OG defense is legit, offense was holding them back for the first 3 games they couldn't sustain a drive and defense got tired, OG finally got back a starter this week that's been out since the jamb and they put him at FB and that made the difference I believe OG has their bruiser again. but in OG defense they are a young team and will be getting better each and every week it is night and day difference from week 1 to week 4.

but to me I see Grand Lake being a contender they might not be as good as last year at this point but you have to look at how they are improving from week to week. If that is the case then I dont see why not it is high school football, and any team can get going and make things happpen and growth spurts do happen during the season as well. I Think Grand Lake will get better each week as well as OG think these 2 will meet again and it will be a battle.

Lake Arthur's opening drive was a 9 minute whopper and they got the 2 Point conversion to boot. And then Lake Arthur hosted Many as the first ever home playoff game in school history and promptly got curb stomped lol.

Many made LA look like a Junior High squad. I was proud of my hometown though...they put up a fight. I had just graduated the year before so all those guys were my teammates. They also beat Welsh that season for the first time in over a decade.

We played Northeast at home in 1995. We were ranked in the top 10. Also Lake Arthur made the quarterfinals in 1980 losing to Jonesboro-Hodge and had a home playoff game beating Bunkie.

DrQuincy played Many that same year, it was a week 5 game in Many, we were 4-0 but we lost out star RB to some off field issues after week 4, needless to say we got schooled! 57-20 Hosted Rosepine in district week 8 and turnovers killed us losing 28-16.

This week might determine who’s the contenders and who’s the prentenders.. In Southwest Louisiana so far the contenders are.. 1A Basile/Grand Lake 2A hard to tell at the moment 3A Iowa/LCCP/Iota 4A Leesville? 5A all 3 aren’t going to make it past the 2nd round. I hope they prove me wrong but it’s not looking good thus far.. Pretenders 1A Oberlin 2A Rosepine/Kinder/Welsh “Saying that with a grain of salt” 3A JENNINGS/St. Louis Catholic 4A still too early 5A same If you wanna list teams who could possibly sneak their way into the weak side of a bracket and sleepwalk their way into a state runner up finish at the hands of a four touchdown beatdown by a real contender then yes these teams are contenders. The only team truly contending for a STATE CHAMPIONSHIP is LCCP With LCCP on a playoff ban I would like to revise this. There are now ZERO state title contenders in SWLA.

Not a great one, but they have a chance if things go their way.

I would really like to see that. But mannn…..St Martinville, Madison Prep, and a few others are realllllllly good. I watched Madison Prep play STM week 1. Those cats are FAST

Leesville poops the bed when they go to New Orleans in the playoffs. I can’t take them serious yet. They had a really talented team that played Easton I believe last year or two years ago and that game was over pretty quick
