It's Week 8 of the Louisiana high school football season, and this week could be a preview of what's to come next month in the playoffs.
Many of those games will feature district and regional rivalries.
Alexandria will try to stay unbeaten as they take on a Ruston team that seeks to avenge last week's loss. The team that beat them, Neville, looks to stay undefeated whey they face Ouachita Parish.
Opelousas and Cecilia will meet in a rematch of last year's Division II-Non-Select state title game.
Jena and Bunkie, two teams with prolific offenses, will battle for the pole position in 2-3A.
Southwest Louisiana powers Jennings and Notre Dame will clash in an interclass affair.
Donaldsonville takes on St. James in one of the biggest games in the River Parishes.
We preview all of these games and more in this week's edition of the Pelican State Prep Football Preview.
