Five softball teams make the playoffs
The Kaplan Lady Pirates, coming off of a 2021 season where they were the second seed in the playoffs, followed that with what should be the third seed when the LHSAA announced the Class 3A playoff pairings Thursday.
Kaplan (25-4 overall) held the number two seed for most of the second half of the season but dropped to the third seed in the final week and will play host to No. 30 seed Ville Platte High (6-11) in the opening round. It will be played Monday at 5:30 p.m.
