St. Thomas More, Ouachita Christian move to the top of LSWA Class 4A, 1A polls
St. Thomas More leaped over Teurlings Catholic to assume the No. 1 position in Class 4A this week in the Louisiana Sports Writers Association statewide football poll.
After seven weeks of action, there wasn’t much movement in any of the LSWA classes. Brother Martin moved into the 5A poll at No. 10, Bogalusa joined the 3A poll at No. 10 and Ouachita Christian usurped Homer in the top spot in Class 1A. Ascension Catholic is a newcomer to the 1A poll at No. 10.
