The Parkway Panthers continue to maintain their undefeated record at 5-0 as the high school football season reaches its midpoint in the Shreveport-Bossier area. The Panthers’ impressive performance keeps them in contention as key matchups loom on the horizon, including a significant upcoming game against Captain Shreve (4-1) and a battle between Loyola (5-0) and North DeSoto (5-0) on October 31.
Currently, Parkway stands alongside Haynesville and North DeSoto, both of whom also boast perfect records. The Panthers have been highlighted for their offensive capabilities, which have bolstered their successful season thus far. Notably, Jackson Gaskin, who chose to turn his attention to baseball during his freshman year, would not be contributing to the football team’s success.
The first half of the high school football regular season has primarily showcased offensive performances across the board, with various standout players making headlines. Among the prominent figures is Evangel’s Peyton Houston, who has accumulated nearly 4,000 passing yards and 35 touchdowns by the end of the regular season. Meanwhile, Captain Shreve’s Jamarcea Plater has excelled, totaling 818 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns, achieving more rushing yardage in the second half of the season than the first and breaking his school’s all-time rushing record.
In addition, Airline’s Kenny Darby has surpassed 100 catches this season, elevating his profile as a top prospect for LSU’s 2026 signing class. Junior quarterback Bryce Restovich from Loyola is also on track to break several passing records before Week 10, contributing to the wealth of offensive talent in the region. However, effective rushers beyond the notable few are still a scarcity, raising questions about which defensive unit should be recognized in light of the ongoing high-scoring games.
The landscape of the Shreveport-Bossier area football teams has also seen complications this season, as the LHSAA forced Green Oaks to forfeit three games due to GPA miscalculations despite two being on-field losses. As teams analyze their performances and look towards the crucial matchups that could affect playoff seeding, the excitement surrounding high school football is palpable.
Upcoming games also include important matchups such as Airline-Parkway and Loyola-Bossier, showcasing the fierce competition among these talented teams. Fans are encouraged to engage with the games in real-time by posting live scores through the Scorestream app or website.
