High school football officially kicks off around Louisiana this weekend with a slew of highly anticipated openers and a long list of teams eager to stake their claims as championship contenders.   The state is loaded, as always, with talented players from its every corner and along every highway in between.   And, once again, Prep Redzone Louisiana would like to recognize some of the best with its Louisiana Preseason All-State Teams.   A Small Schools Team representing Class 1A, Class 2A and Class 3A levels and a Large Schools Team representing the Class 4A and Class 5A levels will each feature 40 players: 20 on offense (13 first-team and seven honorable mentions) and 23 on defense and special teams (13 first-team defense, three special teams and seven honorable mentions).
