Six parish teams are headed to the playoffs.

In non-select Division I first-round games, No. 11 seed Parkway (19-7) hosts No. 22 Fontainebleau (15-13), No. 13 Haughton (23-9) hosts No. 20 Sam Houston (16-11), No. 24 Airline (13-12) visits No. 9 Natchitoches Central (19-8) and No. 27 Benton (17-16) visits No. 6 Salmen (23-3).

Airline played 1-5A foe Natchitoches Central Friday in the teams’ regular-season finale. The Lady Chiefs won 62-51.

In a non-select Division II first-round game, No. 24 Bossier (10-12) visits No. 9 (17-6).

In a non-select Division IV first-round game, No. 19 Plain Dealing (15-14) visits No. 14 South Plaquemines (10-9).

Last spring, the Plain Dealing softball team also made the 414-mile, seven-hour trip to South Plaquemines at the tip of the Louisiana boot for a first-round game. 

First-round games are generally played Thursday.
