Week 9 was sort of a judgment day scenario in Louisiana high school football.

Questions were answered, although some were left open-ended. Would John Curtis be able to hang with Edna Karr? How about undefeated Loyola Prep? Would it stand a chance against North DeSoto?

The Patriots did the worst thing imaginable by falling into a 21-0 hole to Karr, but Curtis fought its way back to within 28-21 before the Cougars cranked the engine all the way up again.

North DeSoto (9-0) stayed perfect in the District 1-4A showdown against Bryce Restovich and the Flyers, who managed to score 49 points and hold onto the No. 2 power rating in Division II select. Hayden Lessard of Louisiana HS Football projects Loyola to lose to 8-1 Northwood-Shreveport in Week 10 and land the No. 4 seed in Division II select behind St. Charles, Archbishop Shaw and Lake Charles College Prep, which had 100 and 200-yard rushers in its 56-14 win at Comeaux.

Lessard predicts the top eight in the Division I nonselect bracket as follows: 1 Ruston, 2 Destrehan, 3 Northwood-SH, 4 Central-BR, 5 Denham Springs, 6 Parkway, 7 Neville and 8 Southside.

His projections in Division I select: 1 Karr, 2 Alexandria, 3 Teurlings Catholic, 4 St. Augustine, 5 Catholic-BR, 6 John Curtis, 7 Tioga, 8 Evangel Christian. Lessard predicts Acadiana to defeat Carencro this week and earn the No. 13 seed. If that occurs, the Bears could expect a No. 18 seed and would be on the road at No. 15 Brother Martin in bi-district.
