Airline and Calvary are the local representatives in the LHSAA football playoff quarterfinals and both teams host games next Friday night.

The Vikings (10-1), who stopped a two-point conversion try to survive a 36-35 scare from Southside, are seeded fourth in the Non-Select Division I bracket. They will host 21st-seeded Mandeville (8-4).

The Skippers pulled one of the biggest surprises in the second round by winning 42-21 over No. 5 St. Amant, making three key interceptions.

Calvary (11-0) allowed only one first down, in the fourth quarter by penalty, and dominated Menard (Alexandria) 49-0 in the second round of the Select Division III tournament. The No. 2-seeded Cavaliers play host to 10th-seeded Parkview Baptist (10-2) in a much more challenging quarterfinal pairing.

The Eagles outscored seventh-seeded Dunham School 39-32 in an all-Baton Rouge second-round contest Friday night.
