Both the Quitman High School boys and girls teams will put their lofty Class B rankings on the line this Friday when they travel to the Shreveport area to take on Class 5A Benton High School.

The Wolverines bring a stellar 19-2 record, that includes an area best 18 game winning streak, and a #3 ranking in Class B into the contest against Benton which has a 6-10 record on the season. The contest will mark the fifth time this season that Quitman will have faced a Division I school with the Wolverines winning the previous four with two wins over Haughton and victories over Northwood – Shreveport and West Ouachita.  

Perhaps the task ahead of the 4th ranked Lady Wolverines is even more daunting. Benton has posted a 17-8 record on the year and has won four of their last five, with the only loss since the calendar flipped to 2025 being to Huntington, ranked #2 in Division I among “select” schools. 

To the Lady Wolverines credit though QHS (14-8) enters playing their best ball of the year. Head Coach Kyle Leach’s squad has won their last four and six of their last seven, losing a only a close game to Cedar Creek, who at 18-3 is the #2 ranked team in Division IV among “select” schools. During the streak, Quitman has bested Class 5A West Ouachita, who sports a 15-6 record, beat a 20-5 Summerfield team and most recently won a hard fought district 1B victory over a strong 14-8 Weston squad.
