Boys playoffs starts Friday
Ferriday boys basketball coach K.G. Watkins, Vidalia assistant boys coach Damus Smith and Monterey boys coach Jeffrey Odom were on the road Wednesday to find out who their first round opponents will be in the LHSAA playoffs.
This year, the LHSAA is going to a seeded process in basketball, similar to the power points rating used in football.
"I don't really like it because it can get political," said Vidalia boys coach Robert Sanders, who was unable to make the trip because of an illness. "But it may work out in the long run."
Vidalia, seeded No. 9, will host 24th-seeded Winnfield on Friday.
Ferriday, seeded No. 6, hosts Springfield, seeded No. 27. That game will be played Friday at 7 p.m. at Ferriday.
Monterey, seeded 32nd, visits top-seeded Rapides.

"I don't really like it because it can get political," said Vidalia boys coach Robert Sanders, who was unable to make the trip because of an illness. "But it may work out in the long run."
The final seedings for the games were announced after press time.
