Six St. Tammany Parish teams reached the LHSAA volleyball quarterfinals in Lafayette, with matchups set for Thursday. Mandeville, Northshore, St. Scholastica and Hannan arrive as top-three seeds; Northlake Christian and First Baptist Christian face No. 1 seeds. The teams’ paths highlight deep rosters, timely playoff form and several tough tests ahead.

By the Numbers
  • 6 St. Tammany teams are in the quarterfinals.
  • 4 teams are seeded in the top 3 of their divisions.
  • Mandeville has won 13 straight matches; St. Scholastica has won 10 straight.
Yes, But

The teams face sharply different challenges: Northlake Christian and First Baptist Christian must take on defending champion Country Day and No. 1 seed Westminster Christian, respectively. Northshore, meanwhile, enters after losing 5 of its previous 7 matches, though it has since knocked off a 31-win Prairieville team.

State of Play
  • All six teams play quarterfinals Thursday; semifinalists advance Friday, with championship matches starting at 9 a.m. Saturday.
  • Mandeville’s balanced roster and St. Scholastica’s depth make both strong contenders to reach the title match.
  • Hannan is gaining momentum, while Northshore and First Baptist Christian are peaking after notable second-round wins.
What's Next

Thursday’s results will determine whether any of the six teams advance to Friday’s semifinals. A Mandeville-Dominican matchup is a potential semifinal highlight, while Northlake Christian and First Baptist Christian will need upsets to keep their runs alive.

Bottom Line

St. Tammany has contenders across five divisions, but the quarterfinals will test both its top seeds and its underdogs. Mandeville and St. Scholastica look especially well-positioned; the others have a chance to make their mark by disrupting the bracket.
