Get ready for a thrilling high school football showdown as the McDonogh Roneagles face off against the Edna Karr Cougars. This non-league matchup, set for September 19, 2025, promises to be a battle between two of Louisiana’s most storied programs. With both teams looking to assert their dominance early in the season, fans are eagerly asking: who will win this highly anticipated game?
A Look at the Matchup
Edna Karr comes into this game with a perfect 2-0 record, having already secured impressive victories against Archbishop Shaw and a national-level opponent, American Heritage. Their recent overtime win against American Heritage, a team without their star quarterback, showcased their defensive prowess and clutch performance. The Cougars are ranked number one in the state of Louisiana, and many preseason predictions have them running the table to an undefeated season and another state championship. Their defense, in particular, has been a key factor in their success.
McDonogh, meanwhile, holds a 1-1 record. They bounced back from a tough loss to St. Augustine with a dominant 41-6 victory over Washington. While they’ve shown they can put points on the board, their performance against a top-tier opponent like St. Augustine raises some questions. This game against Edna Karr will be a true test of their capabilities and a chance to prove they belong in the conversation with the state’s elite.

Prediction
Based on the recent performance and rankings, Edna Karr appears to have the clear advantage. They are a well-rounded team with a high-powered offense and a defense that has shown the ability to shut down strong opponents. Their clutch victory over a nationally ranked team speaks volumes about their composure and talent.
While McDonogh is a solid team, their lopsided loss to St. Augustine is a cause for concern when facing a team of Edna Karr’s caliber. For McDonogh to pull off the upset, they will need to play a nearly flawless game, capitalizing on every opportunity and finding a way to slow down the Cougars’ potent attack.
Final Prediction: Edna Karr 34, McDonogh 14
We predict that Edna Karr’s dominant defense and overall talent will be too much for McDonogh to handle. The Cougars are a team on a mission, and this game will likely serve as another stepping stone on their path to a potential undefeated season. However, in high school football, anything can happen, and fans can expect a hard-fought battle until the very end.
