Lafayette-area high school football scoreboard for Week 10

After a season filled with primetime matchups, blowouts and dogfights, the 2026 high school football season in Lafayette Parish and its surrounding areas has reached the end of the regular season. With Week 10 upon us, three teams remain in the hunt for finishing out a perfect season: Westgate, Eunice and Notre Dame. This week, those teams will have an even bigger target on their back with district titles and all the regular season glory also on the line. On the flip side, some teams are focused on securing a win as they look to keep their postseason dreams alive with the 2026 Allstate Sugar Bowl LHSAA Prep Classic around the corner. For Breaux Bridge and Highland Baptist, this week is one last chance to crack the goose egg in the win column as both teams enter the week winless. As district champions look to be crowned, and the race to the postseason continues to heat up, every win means a little more for teams across the 337. Here are the matchups happening across the area in Week 10. Check back here to see live score updates. Thursday, Nov. 5 Lafayette area high school football scoreboard .oembed-frame { width: 100%;
