Thu 10/22, 2026, 7:00 PM | Grand Lake | District 5-1A (LHSAA)
By Tori Dixon, Gridiron Gumbo
The setup
Two teams unbeaten in district at the AP’s last standings — likely a 5-1A title-shaping game.
T-Rohn says: Elton at Grand Lake, both unbeaten in district. Two small towns, one title-shaping game, and maybe four parking spots, all of them claimed since Tuesday.
Records, results & standings
- CONFIRMED (American Press standings, Oct. 13): Elton 1-0 / 5-1; Grand Lake 1-0 / 4-2.
- REPORTED (AP News scoreboard, date unclear): Elton 46, Montgomery 30; Grand Lake 66, Pickering 33.
Storylines & stakes
- Week 7 (MaxPreps finals): Grand Lake 49, Merryville 12; Oakdale 28, Elton 24.
Styles & coaching notes
T-Rohn says: Grand Lake has a lake in its name and Elton doesn’t, which Grand Lake fans consider a three-point head start. That’s also our pick margin. Coincidence, cher.
The pick
TAKE: Grand Lake 30, Elton 27 — Grand Lake won 49-12 at Merryville last week while Elton lost 28-24 at home to Oakdale (MaxPreps finals); Grand Lake is at home.
Official Gridiron Gumbo pick (Sabine Line): Grand Lake 28-27. Final: Grand Lake beat Elton 35-0.
T-Rohn says: If this game is as close as the records say, both fan bases should eat early. Nobody wants to miss the last drive because they were in line for a pistolette.
