Haughton Hosts Parkway in Non-Select Division I Playoff Rematch

The Haughton Bucs will host the Parkway Panthers at Prescott Field this Friday for a first-round non-select Division I playoff matchup, the Bossier Press-Tribune reported.

Haughton enters the contest as the No. 11 seed with an 8-2 record. They face the No. 22 seed Parkway Panthers, who sit at 5-5.

This game serves as a rematch of a Week 5 District 1-5A meeting. During that previous encounter, Haughton defeated Parkway with a score of 55-36.

In their last meeting, Haughton established an 18-point lead before Parkway narrowed the gap to five points. The Bucs eventually pulled away to secure the victory.

Individual performances during that game highlighted the offensive capabilities of both squads:

Player	Team	Statistic
Brandon Craig	Haughton	296 rushing yards
Taylor Weathersby	Haughton	190 passing yards; 49 rushing yards
Bryston McCoy	Parkway	400 passing yards; 4 touchdowns

Parkway’s offensive effort was supported by significant contributions from receivers Gary Burney, Gabe Gray, and Tristan Sedberry.

Airline Stadium will also host a first-round game as the No. 15 seed Vikings take on the No. 18 seed Central-Baton Rouge. Airline holds a 7-3 record.

Central-Baton Rouge finished with a 2-2 record in District 4-5A. The district was won by Catholic, which holds the No. 7 seed in select Division I.

The local playoff landscape saw several teams fall just short of postseason qualification. Benton finished with a 5-5 record but missed the playoffs, as only the top 28 teams in the non-select Division I power rankings qualified.

The Haughton and Parkway rematch takes place Friday night at Prescott Field.
