District games are the norm as all the local teams are fully engaged in league games and as the regular season winds down in the final few weeks.
The power rankings are just as important, however, as the girls have two more weeks to improve on theirs and boys three weeks.
District 1-5A girls teams make up the sixth (Parkway), seventh (Haughton) and eighth (Natchitoches Central) positions of the current Non-Select Division I rankings. Benton is at No. 21 and Airline No. 22.
In Select Division I, Huntington is the top-ranked team, with Southwood sitting at No. 11, Northwood No. 15, Captain Shreve No. 22 and Byrd No. 32. Division II has Booker T. Washington at No. 19, Woodlawn No. 28. Division III: Calvary is No. 23, Loyola No. 24, North Caddo No. 30.
Bossier ranks No. 37 in Non-Select Division II while Plain Dealing is No. 20 in NS Division IV.
Boys rankings in Non-Select divisions have Division I: Natchitoches Central No. 4, Airline No. 19, Parkway No. 21, Benton No. 32, Haughton No. 36. Division II: Bossier No. 6, Division IV: Plain Dealing No. 40.
Select, Division I: Captain Shreve No. 3, Southwood No. 7, Huntington No. 18, Northwood No. 24, Byrd No. 31. Division II: Evangel No. 13, Booker T. Washington No. 15, Woodlawn No. 22. Division III: Calvary No. 5, Loyola No. 27, North Caddo No. 30, Green Oaks No. 31.
