BATON ROUGE - Week four of the prep football season got underway Thursday night. Many area teams are opening up district play this week, while others get to play out of district for one more game.

Delhi 8, Southern Lab 46

The Kittens improve to 3-2 on the season after a dominant win over Delhi. Southern Lab seemed to have put this game away early with a 24-0 lead after the first quarter.

Dunham 42, Ascension Catholic 7

Dunham is now 3-1 after picking up a road win over the Bulldogs. Quarterback Elijah Haven finished the night with nearly 400 yards of total offense and six total touchdowns. This is head coach Neil Weiner's 100th win as the head coach of the Tigers.

Madison Prep 53, Glen Oaks 0

The Chargers are now 1-0 in district play after shutting out Glen Oaks. The scoring party started when J'on Profit took a handoff to the house to get an early 8-0 lead. Many more touchdowns were to come for Madison Prep.

Port Allen 16, Helix Mentorship Academy 14

The Pelicans picked up their first win of the season and start 1-0 in their district after a comeback victory over Mentorship. The Sharks seemed to have run away with the win after Christopher McKinley throws a touchdown pass to Kenny Jones for a 14-10 lead. The Pelicans would come back to get the narrow victory.

WALKER - A year removed from a 7-4 season and a first round playoff loss, Walker has more questions with just 8 returning starters. Head coach Chad Mahaffey does have experience under center. Junior Tyler Sylve got meaningful reps as a sophomore towards the end of the season and looks to build on that experience heading into the fall of 2023.

BRUSLY - In their first year in Class 4A, Brusly finished with a productive season going 6-4 with a first round exit in the playoffs. This year will be their second year playing up in class and they'll be doing it with two quarterbacks. Sophomores Cordell Oxley and Coy Purpera are expected to both see playing time under center.

It's a team that returns 9 total starters and athleticism up front with a solid run game could see the Panthers push through that first round playoff ceiling from 2022.
