NEW RANKINGS

USA Today still has its preseason rankings up, and the national newspaper for people with short attention spans won't publish the next poll until Sept. 11. So, good news for Curtis. You're still 15th.

MaxPreps.com, however, has updated. Apparently, it happens every Tuesday. Who knew?

Anyway, the latest national top 100 looks like this for in-state schools:

Ranking Team (Last week's ranking)

No. 18 Bastrop (19)
No. 20 Acadian (21)
No. 41 Curtis (41)

As for the state rankings, according to maxpreps, the local schools fall here (the site posts a top 100. For my purposes, I'm listing only those local schools in the top 25):

Ranking Team (Last week's ranking)

No. 3 Curtis (3)
No. 4 Shaw (5)
No. 6 Destrehan (6)
No. 8 East St. John (7)
