Midseason Louisiana ‘eye-catchers’ team | Small Schools Offense

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're still almost a month from the playoffs in Louisiana and two months from state championships and all-state teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Trying to gather a complete picture and comprehensive, up-to-date statistics from 300-some-odd teams in the thick of district play presents its timing and availability challenges to potentially compiling a true midseason all-state team without overlooking anyone.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>But I've had a chance to see about three dozen teams already through the first six weeks of the regular season —&nbsp;with several standout performances along the way —&nbsp;and thought we could compile those into sort of a midseason progress report in an all-state style of format.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>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).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Small Schools: </strong><a
