<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Louisiana's high school football season is down to its final 64 teams with quarterfinals of eight different brackets scheduled for Friday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Each week, we'll give a quick update of some of the notable outcomes and top performers in each division and potential matchups to watch in the next round.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out the latest Division-II Non-Select capsule below.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Biggest upset by seeds:</strong> No. 13 Cecilia over No. 4 Lakeshore, 54-42.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Other upsets: </strong>No. 10 Lutcher over No. 7 Franklin Parish, 42-41 and No. 11 West Feliciana over No. 6 Brusley, 27-24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Closest game:</strong> No. 3 Belle Chase over No 19 Opelousus, 7-6.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Biggest margin:</strong> No. 7 North DeSoto over No. 10 Belle Chasse, 38-14.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Biggest surprise: </strong>No. 10 Lutcher over No. 7 Franklin Parish, as Franklin Parish had a roster loaded with talent that was hungry to make it to the dome. Lutcher has had plenty of success in the playoffs in recent years and were able to use that veteran experience to edge out the overtime win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Top performers:</strong> 2026 Plaquemine DB [player_tooltip player_id='1238188' first='Roderick' last='Bingham'], 2027 Cecilia RB/ATH [player_tooltip player_id='934555' first='Braylon' last='Calais'], 2026 North Desoto QB [player_tooltip player_id='401978' first='Luke' last='Delafield'], 2026 Lakeshore RB [player_tooltip player_id='1602077' first='Oudrey' last='Gros'] IV, 2029 Lutcher QB <strong>Terron Charles</strong>, 2026 Lutcher OL [player_tooltip player_id='1603247' first='Jayden' last='Michael']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Other notes:</strong> No. 13 Cecilia continues to win on the road and will have to do so the rest of the way, if they are able to upset No. 5 Plaquemine, the long haul to Stonewall to take on No. 1 North Desoto. Lutcher coming off an upset win in overtime, might have the toughest task in the quarters. Can they shake off the emotions from last week and win another upset on the road? </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Intriguing quarterfinal matchup:</strong> No. 2 Iowa vs. No. 10 Lutcher- Lutcher is playing very well down the stretch but have a tough task on the road.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Most intriguing possible semifinal matchup:</strong> No. 1 North Desoto vs. No. 13 Cecilia would set up rematch of last year's quarterfinal match where Cecilia upset the Griffins, 57-40.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
