10 Teche-area football programs have advanced to the 2022 LHSAA prep football playoffs, with several hosting first-round games.

This will be the first season under LHSAA’s new postseason system, where both Select and Non-Select teams are split into four divisions. The top four teams in each Non-Select bracket will receive a first-round BYE and automatically host their second-round game. The top eight Select teams will also receive a BYE and hosting rights in the second round.

All state championship games will be played at the Caesar’s Superdome this year, which will last from Thursday, Dec. 8 through Saturday, Dec. 10.
