Brother Martin enters LSWA poll at No. 10
It has finally happened. After weeks of pummeling opponents with a stifling defense and a power run game feating Dalton Hilliard, Brother Martin has entered the Class 5A poll at No. 10.
But the Crusaders are only four votes ahead of Rummel for the spot.
Also in 5A, Destrehan remains No. 3 with three first-place votes despite hammering previous No. 4 Ehret on Friday night. The Patriots fell to No. 6.
Meanwhile, in 1A, South Plaquemines reclaimed the top spot after a week hiatus. The Hurricanes, I would imagine, will remain there unless they beat themselves.
