After two lopsided wins to open the season, the Alexandria Senior High Trojans are holding steady in the Louisiana Sports Writers Association’s state Class 5A football Top 10 poll.

A win this week would raise the Trojans’ profile, if not their ranking.

Seventh-ranked ASH (2-0) will visit No. 9 Destrehan (1-1) Friday night.

The Wildcats rebounded from a 32-23 opening loss to No. 5 Catholic-Baton Rouge by blasting Bonnabel 58-20 last Friday. The Trojans outlasted visiting Destrehan 45-27 last season.

Tioga (1-1), after playing 3A state power Sterlington competitively in the first game of 2025 and walloping Class 4A Leesville last week, earned a 10^th-place vote in 4A from one of the 11 LSWA panel members this week.
