The Loreauville Tigers and Catholic High Panthers each moved up a spot in the Class 2A high school football poll this week, setting up a Top 5 matchup Friday at Panther Stadium for the District 6-2A lead.

The Louisiana Sports Writers Association conducts the poll statewide and released its results late Monday.

Loreauville (6-1 overall, 2-0 district) moved up to fourth with a 34-7 win over Delcambre. Catholic High (6-1, 1-0) moved up to sixth with a 57-0 win over Jeanerette.

Tickets for Friday’s game are on sale in advance at both CHS and Loreauville High School. Tickets are the same price as at the gate and are available during school hours in each school’s front office.
