It is the last chance for teams to work out problems and fix lineups before district play begins and with it, the chance to improve the power rankings for playoff positioning.

The Panthers (1-3) dropped a 28-26 overtime decision last week to Franklin but head coach Craig Brodie thinks his team is actually looking forward to homecoming week as a chance to put the Franklin loss behind them.
“I think that homecoming is a good distraction for us from the loss last week,” said Brodie. “It’s probably a good thing for the kids. They’re excited about the game and everything with the week.”
St. Louis (2-1) is expected to bring a solid team into the contest.
“They are a good team,” said Brodie. “Well coached. What they do on offense and defense is not complicated. I think we match up well with them.”
Comeaux at New Iberia
Fresh off its first win of the season, 44-0 over West St. Mary, the Jackets (1-2) play host to Comeaux (3-0) before opening district play against cross-town rival Westgate next week.
“They beat Northside and South Terrebonne in the first two weeks then last week played a team that didn’t challenge them,” said NISH coach Rick Hutson.
Comeaux beat Lee High 68-0 last week.
“They have a pretty good team this year and very good on the offensive lines,” said Hutson. “We’re going to have to play our best game of the year to beat them.”
Westgate at Sulphur
Two teams that played two tough games last year meet up for their third contest in two years.
In the regular season Sulphur beat Westgate 28-14 only to see the Tigers reverse the table and win 14-9 in the first round of the playoffs.
Westgate (2-1) lost a 24-21 heartbreaker to St. Thomas More last week after leading 21-0 at halftime. Sulphur (21-15) beat Carencro 21-15
Breaux Bridge at SMSH
The battle of St. Martin Parish continues this week at longtime rivals Breaux Bridge (2-1) and St. Martinville (1-2) renew acquaintances.
