The LHSAA football season will kick off on Friday night for the nine teams in District 1-A.
The District 1-A looks to be strong as they are already boasting three teams in the preseason LSWA Class A Top 10. Calvary opens the season as the No. 1 team. Homer currently is ranked No. 8. Haynesville rounds out the list at No. 10.
The district is welcoming newcomer Glenbrook Apaches out of Minden to the LHSAA. Just because they are a new team in the LHSAA doesn’t mean that they will be a pushover. They bring Coach David Feaster who has led successful programs at Minden, Leesville, and Parkway. He was the first-year head coach last year for the Apaches and came from D’Arbonne Woods before. The Apaches will open at home against River Oaks in Week 1.

Homer was the surprise team in the Class A state playoffs making a run to the semifinals. A feat they had not accomplished since Ronald Reagan was in office. The Pels are looking strong again this year. Homer will travel to Vivian and face the North Caddo Titans.
The Haynesville Golden Tornado is looking to cause some damage in the District 1-A field. Their opponents always have to be on the lookout for Coach David Franklin’s Tors. They open on the road to Springhill and take on North Webster.
