Chiefs in home finale tonight trying to derail unbeaten Haughton; Tigers roll, Gators go to JHHS

Natchitoches Central honors its senior players at Turpin Stadium tonight at 7 and tries to ruin Haughton’s unbeaten season in a District 1-5A football game. What might look like a mismatch probably isn’t. The Chiefs (0-8 overall, 0-4 in district) have carried three of their four 1-5A contests into the final minutes of play or overtime, falling 41-35 last Friday in OT at Benton.

Northwood continues second half run, St. Mary's, Glenbrook win

The second half of the 2026 Louisiana high school football season has been just what the doctor ordered for the Northwood football team. The Falcons (5-4), who started the season 1-4, are on a four-game win streak after dispatching Southwood 56-20 Thursday night in front of a paltry crowd with the State Fair of Louisiana denizens looking on from a stone’s throw away. Northwood will be 5-0 heading into the playoffs after rolling past winless Woodlawn next week in the regular season finale. Currently ranked No. 19 in the LHSAA Division II Non-Select Power Rankings, the Falcons probably won’t be able to pickup enough power points to land a home playoff game. But they could be a tough out due to the continually improving play of quarterback Peyton Boone, who reeled off a 31-yard TD run in the first quarter to get things rolling against the Cowboys (1-8). The 6-foot, 175-pound Boone came into the season off possible myocarditis that forced him to miss half the 2025 season and all of the summer. Maybe that’s why the senior is blooming late.
