Several local teams are headed to the LHSAA Boys’ Basketball State Playoffs.
The brackets have not been yet released, but we have done the math and just like we did with the women, we can tell you very confidently who will be in the postseason and somewhat confidently who they will be playing when the brackets come out tomorrow.
So let’s dive in and be your cheat sheet.
All numbers are based on power rating projections provided by GeauxPreps.
