Week 3 of the Louisiana High School Football season is here, and teams continue to sharpen themselves ahead of their district slates.
This week, 2024 Division I-Non Select Destrehan hosts last year's Division I-Select state runner-up, Alexandria. Two North Louisiana powerhouses, West Monroe and Evangel, collide in a playoff-caliber matchup. A couple of Acadiana-area teams not used to starting 0-2, St. Thomas More and Acadiana, look to right the ship and pick up their first win when they face each other. Also, Ascension Parish's schools get off to a hot start, with six of the seven winning their games in Week 2
We preview all of those games and more this week on the Pelican State Prep Football Preview.
You can nominate your favorite high school football player to be this week's Dr. Pepper/Harold Perkins, Jr., Player of the Week. Each week, Dr. Pepper selects a new winner, with each weekly winner will receive a football autographed by Harold Perkins, Jr., and will be entered to win one of two five-thousand-dollar tuition awards.

This week, the Manning Family Children's WWL Prep Football Roundup Presented by Dr. Pepper and Acadian Ambulance will be live at Archbishop Shaw as the Eagles host the Archbishop Rummel Raiders to renew their six-decade-old rivalry. They'll be competing for the right to take home the big megaphone and for Jefferson Parish parochial school bragging rights. We're on the air from 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. with all of the updates and scores from the state's biggest games throughout the evening.
