This poll has been conducted by the LHSSCA, the official coaches association of Louisiana High School Soccer. Each Division was voted on by 10 members who were equally chosen from around the state. Coaches voted on their top 15 to allow for more teams receiving votes. All inquiries should be directed to www.lhssca.org

What are the numbers not in parentheses following each school name?

[smoser]

ten coaches vote for the top 15 teams... so st.pauls got 8 first place votes and then some others for a total of 148 points and jesuit got 2 first place votes and then others for their total, and so on

Thanks, Coach.

Updated as of 11/17.

As always, correct any mistakes we might have made during the transcription from the scores thread. Thanks.

All Week 1 scores updated.

[warrior16]

Added a couple more scores that were missing from tournaments, so thanks to those who sent me that info via private message. As always, parents, coaches, etc., please check for any errors or missing information concerning scores you are aware of. We do our best to transfer all the scores accurately, but it's very easy to make mistakes on something like this, and that could negatively affect the weekly coaches' voting process.

I think this first week was especially tough for me/us to transfer all the scores due to there being no less than five tournaments this week, and also the crazy amount of teams (about 30) receiving votes in every division, which makes it a lot easier to completely forget some teams are even there and update their information.

I know we generally don't want to post tournament scores in the weekly scores thread, but if it's done efficiently, I think it's way easier for the people that transfer scores to do it accurately and in a timely manner. It's very tedious to scroll through all the different tournament threads, of which there were five this week, and double-check or add all the scores to the rankings page. In the future, please try to round up all the scores after the day or even each round of games at the tournament you are covering and also post them in the weekly scores page (it can all be in one huge post), for those of you that don't already do this.

It just makes the whole process much easier for myself, squeak11, beauchenecoach, and everyone else that transfers scores, and even more importantly, it ensures a more accurate coaches' poll each week.

Thanks.
