All but two final regular-season games are now in the books.
Two Saturday matchups — East Jefferson at L.W. Higgins, and Walter L. Cohen at Sarah T. Reed — will shift a few seedings and pairings. But, aside from a few clusters of tweaks, much of the playoff picture has come into focus.

First-round matchups in the middle of the Division-I Select bracket will be among the areas most affected Saturday with Riverdale, Hammond and Bonnabel — the current No. 13, No. 14 and No. 22 seeds, respectively — having played East Jefferson and L.W. Higgins a combined five times.
In the smaller-school brackets, Cohen and Sarah Reed are members of District 10-2A with Country Day, Isidore Newman and South Plaquemines, all of whom are highly ranked in their respective brackets, and South Plaquemines also faced both East Jefferson and L.W. Higgins.
