Week 7 of the Louisiana High School Football season has arrived, and it comes on the heels of a week of big wins and upsets.

West Monroe knocked off one of the most dominant teams in the state, and they look to keep their momentum alive in another pivotal game.

Edna Karr's win streak is now at 20 games. Will the Cougars keep the streak alive this week against a Catholic League foe?

Catholic and Central will meet in a clash of the Baton Rouge titans that will likely decide the District 4-5A title this week.

Teurlings and St. Thomas More continue to barrel down the path to a collision in what likely will be the District 4-4A championship game in two weeks.

We'll take a look at all of these scenarios and much more this week on the Pelican State Prep Football Preview.
