Cougars edged by Tors in Top 10 Class 1A clash

HAYNESVILLE — Cedar Creek football coach Jacob Angevine wouldn’t call it a moral victory. But calling it a learning experience his team can grow from is another matter. Angevine’s Cougars gave Haynesville, the defending Non-Select Division IV state champion, everything it could handle before the Golden Tornado pulled out a 29-20 win Friday night at Red Franklin Stadium in a District 1-1A showdown between two previously undefeated teams.

Woodlawn, NCHS notch inaugural 2026 wins before Halloween

We’re pretty sure some things happened about Northwest Louisiana football fields during the ninth week of action that no one saw coming. For two, previously winless Woodlawn and Natchitoches Central notched their first victories of the season. Evangel quarterback Peyton Houston, who was slated to sit out this week with a shoulder injury, played and led his Eagles to a win. North DeSoto running back/safety Hayden Bell was sidelined with a minor injury as was BTW quarterback Devion Stewart – two key players possibly missing a game or two. Here’s a look at the Friday contests: Woodlawn 22, Bossier 6: The Knights (1-8) took advantage of the Bearkats (2-6) being beset with injuries at the quarterback position to get the win. “I’m so excited for the kids,” first-year coach Lavelle Wilson Jr. said. “It’s all about them and how hard they’ve been working.” The Knights led 9-0 at the break after getting a safety and TD reception by Demarlin Harris. Connor Presley scored twice in the second half to seal the game. TOUGH WIN: Evangel hangs on to win ‘phenomenal’ football game vs. Airline THURSDAY WINNERS: Northwood continues second half run, St. Mary's, Glenbrook win Natchitoches Central 27, Haughton 14:

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.
