Bossier, Calvary, Captain Shreve, Huntington and Southwood all received first-round byes in the LHSAA boys’ basketball playoffs and will be the host teams in second-round games tonight.

Green Oaks, playing in Select Division III and the only local team in second-round action Monday night, fell to top-ranked Newman 74-48. The Giants finish their season 15-15 while the defending state champion Greenies move on with a 29-6 mark.

Bossier (20-10) is the only non-select team and the No. 4 seed in Division II. The Bearkats will play No. 13 Opelousas (20-12) . The Bearkats were the two seed in Class 3A last season and finished as a state semifinalist. It was their third trip in four years to the state tournament and came a year after the last time they lost a second-round game.

Calvary (22-5) is the No. 3 seed in Select Division III and will play host to No. 14 Mentorship Academy (20-13). The Cavs have built a reputation of going to the state tournament as well, finishing as the state runner-up in Division IV the last three seasons.

The other three local teams in action tonight are in the Select Division I bracket. Huntington (22-8) is the No. 4 seed and will face No. 13 Holy Cross (20-8). Southwood, the District 1-5A champion, is the No. 5 seed and carries a 23-7 record against No. 12 John Curtis (25-7). Captain Shreve (24-5) is the No. 6 seed and will entertain No. 11 McMain (14-7).
