The Louisiana High School Athletic Association has released the 2024 Ochsner Baseball Playoff Brackets for all 10 divisions and several Acadiana area schools have made it to postseason play.

Now, while Acadiana is very rich in baseball-talented teams, only one school from the area locked up a top seed. In Division IV Select, the #1 seed is the Opelousas Catholic Vikings.

The first round of the playoffs will start on Thursday, April 17.

Round 2 runs from April 23-24 while Round 3 is set for May 1-3.

The LHSAA State Baseball Tournament will take place at McMurry Park in Sulphur on May 7-11, 2024.

Of note, is the set-up for the playoffs across the different divisions. Only Division IV and V in each respective bracket plays single-elimination throughout the playoffs.

In Divisions I-III, it's best of three series through the quarterfinals. Once teams make it to the state tournament in Sulphur (semifinals and finals), then it goes down to single games.
