In boys action, the oft-delayed Division IV quarterfinal match between No 4 Northlake Christian and No. 5 Holy Savior Menard is set for today at 5 p.m in Covington. The match has been delayed due to weather issues affecting both teams.

In Division II, No. 4 Ben Franklin and No. 5 Neville will finally be played on Saturday at 6 p.m. with the Falcons hosting.

These are the final two quarterfinal matches on the boys side of the LHSAA state soccer playoffs yet to be played
