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
