The Natchitoches Central Chiefs are on their homecourt tonight at 6:30 in an LHSAA Non-Select Division I boys basketball state quarterfinal playoff game, hoping to make a return to Marsh Madness next week in Lake Charles.
NCHS reached the state championship game last season, the latest in a series of trips to the state tournament this century.
The Chiefs (25-5) knocked out Neville 74-64 in a second-round game Tuesday night at the Teepee. As the tournament’s fourth seed, NCHS earned a first-round bye.
Covington, the 12th seed, won two home games to reach the quarterfinals, edging No. 21 Slidell 54-50 and then holding off NCHS’s District 1-5A colleagues from Airline, 65-60, Tuesday night. The Chiefs are the 1-5A champions.
Admission for tonight’s game is $10 cash. A free live stream will be available at NCHSChiefs.live.
