A stirring 43-40 road win at reigning Non-Select Division II champion Opelousas last Friday kept Alexandria Senior High undefeated.
It didn’t move the Trojans up in the Class 5A Top 10 compiled by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association.
A week after having the most upward mobility of any team ranked in the Top 10 in any class, ASH stayed put at No. 6.
Voting is done by 12 LSWA members representing different regions around the state.
