After an impressive win last Friday, the Alexandria Senior High Trojans have risen one spot to sixth in the Class 5A state high school football rankings voted by a Louisiana Sports Writers Association panel.

ASH (3-0) won 27-21 at then No. 9-ranked Destrehan. Meanwhile, No. 4 Neville was drubbed by Oak Grove (Miss.) and slipped three spots to allow the Trojans to move forward.

The only other Rapides Parish team to receive voting support in any classification was Tioga (2-1), which got three points in the Class 4A balloting. The Indians scored a resounding 56-14 win at crosstown rival Pineville, previously unbeaten, last Friday night.

ASH is at home Friday night against Opelousas (0-2). Tioga goes on the road to face Richwood (1-2) in Monroe.
