Cecilia football rolls past Carencro for share of 4A-5 District title

If Cecilia football wanted a share of the Class 4A District 5 championship, it knew it had to put on a show in Week 10 against Carencro. The Golden Bears sat atop the district for most of the season but the Bulldogs were determined to make room for themselves, taking a 51-22 victory and forcing a three-way tie for the district championship between themselves, Carencro and Opelousas. “This win means a lot,” Cecilia quarterback Layne Champagne said. “We came up short in the Opelousas game, and we told ourselves all week that we were coming for this game, and we’re gonna bit back. We showed them what we got tonight.” From the first play, forcing a fumble on kickoff, to a backbreaking pick six in the fourth quarter, Cecilia didn't leave this game to chance as it closed out the regular season with a win. Cecilia knows how to put on a show If it a district championship on the line wasn’t enough incentive for the Bulldogs, it was also senior night. What could be some of their players’ last games on home field. No one felt that more than LSU commit Braylon Calais. Almost every time the four-star wideout

Louisiana football vs South Alabama | Live score from Week 10, plus score prediction

After an idle week that followed a loss, Louisiana football is more than eager to get back on the field in Week 10. The Ragin’ Cajuns (5-3, 2-2 SBC) suffered another heartbreaking Sun Belt Conference loss this time at the hands of rivals Southern Mississippi. Fifth-year head coach Michael Desormeaux is hoping the 35-31 loss will be a wake-up call for his squad as they strive to bounce back against South Alabama this week. Dreams of competing for an SBC Championship may have vanished, but there’s still something at stake for the Cajuns. A win this week over the Jaguars could make them bowl eligible for the ninth straight year in a row. It could also revitalize the squad ahead of the final home stretch of the 2026 season. To do so, the Cajuns will look to be the more dominating team in the trenches, looking to establish the run and take the first punch. A key part of that plan will be dual-threat quarterback Lunch Winfield, who is currently leading UL’s rushing attack. The Jaguars (4-4, 2-2) will also be looking to dictate the game on the ground with running backs Keenan Phillips and PJ Martin leading the charge.
