Three week's down and seven more to go in the Louisiana high school football regular season.
The Week 4 schedule features a number of games that promise to be shootouts, while a few others will pit teams who specialize in trench play against each other. Some schools, including the members of the New Orleans Catholic League, will begin their district slates. A few others will continue on in their quest to be district champions, while many more will play one final non-district games to prepare themselves for league play.
We take a look at all of the big games happening across Louisiana in this week's edition of the Pelican State Prep Football Preview.
