Districts 1-5A and 1-4A will end their regular season schedules early with three of four league games played on Thursday, Nov. 8.
 
Two of the 1-5A games will be played in Shreveport with Airline facing Huntington at Independence Stadium and Byrd will host neighborhood rival Captain Shreve at Lee Hedges Stadium. The third game will have Parkway hosting Evangel for a 10th meeting, but first since 2010.
 
In 1-4A, Bossier will host North DeSoto, Minden comes to Shreveport to play Southwood at Leonard C. Barnes Stadium at BTW and Loyola goes to Northwood. The Flyers last played the Falcons in 2014 and lead the series 16-9. Southwood leads its series with Minden 5-2 in a series that covered 2013-16.
 
Friday’s 1-5A game has Benton traveling up I-49 to play Natchitoches Central. Haughton has a non-district game at home with St. Louis Catholic.
 
Booker T. Washington will clash with Woodlawn at Independence Stadium for the 49th meeting. The Knights have won 31 of the previous 48.
 
The two District 1-2A games involving local teams has North Caddo playing at Calvary and Green Oaks hosts Magnolia Charter for homecoming at Northwood’s Jerry Burton Stadium. The Cavaliers have never lost to the Titans in nine meetings. For the Mariners and Giants, it will be the first time the schools have played.
