High school football: Haughton jumps to No. 6 in LSWA Class 5A poll

The Haughton Buccaneers have moved up to No. 6 in the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Class 5A poll.

Haughton (2-0) defeated then No. 5 East Ascension last week. The Spartans fell to No. 9.

Haughton faces Woodlawn (0-2) Saturday at 2 p.m. at Lee Hedges Stadium.

John Curtis (2-0) remained No. 1 in Class 5A. West Monroe (2-0) stayed at No. 2.

After receiving votes in the Class 5A poll last week, Parkway didn’t receive any this week despite a 35-14 victory over North DeSoto. The Panthers (2-0) have a chance to perhaps change that Friday when they host No. 8 Alexandria (2-0).
