FERRIDAY — The Louisiana High School Athletic Association released its playoff brackets Monday, putting Vidalia on the road and Ferriday at home in the opening round.

The Ferriday Trojans will be the No. 7 seed in the Class 2A tournament, hosting Northeast in the opening round, while No. 22 Vidalia will play at Albany in the Class 3A bracket. Vidalia will play at Albany at 6:30 p.m., while Ferriday has yet to set a time and date. Ferriday head coach K.G. Watkins said he hopes to play at 6 p.m. Friday, and that his team will play in Vidalia’s gym.

“The LHSAA requires seating for at least 500, and we don’t have that,” Watkins said. “Playing at Vidalia isn’t something we’re going to get caught up in. It’s close enough that we’re still going to get home cooking, so it’s not going to bother us.”
