It's week 6 of the 2023 high school football season! Welcome back to Friday Nights on the Gridiron. We have a lot of good matchups this week across south Louisiana.
LAFAYETTE, La. (KPEL News) - The Northside High School Vikings hung tough with the Lafayette Christian Academy Knights for awhile, but a Third Quarter explosion by the LCA offense and the defense helped them begin district play with a win.

The Texas State Bobcats high-flying offense is conducted by quarterback and Ponchatoula, La. native TJ Finley, who was once recruited by the Ragin' Cajuns.
After serving his three-game suspension, the New Orleans Saints hoped Alvin Kamara would jump-start their offense. He didn't and they lost 26-9 to Tampa Bay.
The LSU Tigers scored 49 points and amassed 637 yards, but it wasn't enough to beat Ole Miss. The Rebels had 711 yards and they prevailed the Tigers 55-49.
