In LHSAA action, two teams begin district play tonight.

Varnado, which is 2-2, is opening District 8-1A competition tonight by hosting Covenant Christian Academy.

Bogalusa, which enters with a 2-3 record, is getting started in District 7-3A play and is on the road, facing Albany.

Last night, Pine entered with a 3-2 record and continued district play against Amite.

Franklinton was 2-3 to begin 2017 and played a non-district game against Salmen. The two teams will meet later in the year for a district matchup.

In MAIS, Ben’s Ford Christian School is 2-5 and is in a league contest tonight against Newton County Academy at home. Bowling Green is 0-7 and is playing a non-district game tonight when the Buccaneers head to Adams County Christian School.
