Shreveport-area high school football playoff first round predictions

Here's a look at some of the action set to take place involving teams in the Shreveport-Bossier City area on the first playoff weekend of the 2026 Louisiana High School Athletic Association high school football season. Also included is our forecast of which teams are likely to triumph in several battles expected to be highly contested. All games at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13 unless otherwise noted. Non-Select Division I No. 22 Parkway (5-5) at No. 11 Haughton (8-2) Note: These two teams should not be meeting for a second time this fall in the opening round of the playoffs. Haughton won 55-36 the first time, but this one should be closer. Watson’s prediction: Haughton 42, Parkway 38 No. 18 Central-B.R. (5-4) at No. 15 Airline (7-3) Note: The Vikings have continued to become more and more confident as the season has rolled along. They’ll need to push the right buttons to get past tough Central. Watson’s prediction: Airline 44, Central 40 Non-Select Division II No. 21 Minden (6-3) at No. 12 West Feliciana (9-1) Note: The Crimson Tide must travel to play a team that’s probably better than its No. 12 seed. That doesn’t bode well for coach Spencer

Louisiana school district tries to withhold data center bonus pay records

(The Center Square) – A northeast Louisiana school system that paid out five-figure teacher bonuses this year thanks to a new Meta data center put up a fight when The Center Square asked for records of who received the money. The Richland Parish School Board's defiant stance against the request for employee compensation records violated state law, said Virginia Hamrick, Louisiana staff attorney for the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. Hamrick sent a demand letter, on behalf of the wire service, to the superintendent in September that convinced the district to release the records after a two-month battle. The school board initially refused to provide its data in spreadsheet format, saying it would only print them out and mail them. The board's records custodian also demanded The Center Square agree in advance to pay unspecified hourly fees without revealing the price beforehand. Richland Parish schools still has a public records fee schedule posted on its website claiming the right to charge requestors $30 per hour for "retrieval, review, and supervision," and $25 per hour for email searches. Those fees are not allowed under the Louisiana Public Records Law, Hamrick said. "They're on notice that this doesn't comply with
