The road to an Ohio high school football state championship grows narrower Friday as 22 teams in 11 regional quarterfinals involving programs covered by OhioVarsity.com take the field.
Some are chasing history. Others are trying to erase painful memories.
A few are simply grateful for another opportunity.
Kirtland Football enters Friday with a remarkable 16-0 record in games designated as Week 12 in the Ohio Varsity historical football database. The Hornets will put that unbeaten mark on the line against Brookfield, the same program they defeated during their 2015 postseason run.
Mentor Football has a different kind of history to overcome. The Cardinals will host Strongsville, which handed them a 56-30 defeat earlier this season and ended their 21-game Greater Cleveland Conference winning streak.

Perry Football, Garrettsville Garfield Football, Mayfield Football, and Willoughby South Football are the four undefeated teams among Friday’s area contenders.
Meanwhile, Canton Central Catholic and University School advance into the regional quarterfinals following separate OHSAA eligibility rulings that dramatically reshaped their playoff paths.
There are plenty of individual stars, too.
South quarterback Luke Jensen has thrown for more than 2,300 yards, Wadsworth quarterback Brysen Hall has surpassed 2,800, and Kirtland’s Tommy Caimi leads a powerful Hornets rushing attack.
At 7 p.m. Friday, those numbers will matter only as much as the performances that follow.
A look at the historical numbers
The Ohio Varsity Football Almanac, which contains recorded results dating to 1972, offers an additional perspective on the postseason.
Kirtland leads the area with 16 recorded Week 12 victories without a loss. Mentor is 14-3, Cuyahoga Heights 13-5, and Perry 10-3.
Hawken and Mayfield also appear among the area’s historical Week 12 leaders.
Friday’s calendar date brings its own interesting records. Kirtland is 5-2 in recorded games played on November 6, while Cuyahoga Heights is 6-3 and Mayfield is 4-1. Mentor, despite its outstanding Week 12 history, is 3-4 on November 6.
Those are different historical measurements: Week 12 records reflect the designated schedule week, while November 6 records reflect games played on that specific calendar date regardless of week.
All head-to-head records below reflect meetings available in the Ohio Varsity historical database, not necessarily complete all-time series histories.

Brookfield at Kirtland
Division VI, Region 21 quarterfinal
- Records: Brookfield 8-3; Kirtland 9-1
- Location: Wilson Stadium, Kirtland
- MaxPreps: Kirtland No. 2 in Division VI
- OV Predictor: Kirtland 72%, Brookfield 28%
- Projected Score: Kirtland 25, Brookfield 20
- Recorded Head-to-Head: Kirtland leads 1-0
- Historical Week 12: Kirtland 16-0
History has been kind to Kirtland in Week 12.
The Hornets have won all 16 games designated as Week 12 in the Ohio Varsity historical database, including a 27-17 victory over Brookfield in the 2015 playoffs.
Eleven years later, the programs meet again with another regional semifinal berth at stake.
Kirtland has won seven consecutive games since suffering its only loss against Perry in Week 3. During that winning streak, the Hornets have allowed just 17 points and recorded four shutouts.
The offense remains built around a deep rushing attack.
Tommy Caimi has accumulated 1,162 rushing yards, while Zander Perko has added 611 and Sebastian Becker 501.
Quarterback Mario Lorber has thrown for 315 yards and four touchdowns in the available statistics, giving the Hornets another way to attack defenses that crowd the line of scrimmage.
Defensively, Lucci Cantini has emerged as a disruptive force with 12 tackles for loss and six sacks in the reported statistics.
Brookfield, however, arrives with momentum after dominating Columbiana, 49-0, in its playoff opener.
Quarterback Blake Hammond threw three touchdowns and added a long scoring run in the victory.
Rico Smith, who has rushed for 1,220 yards and 18 touchdowns this season, remains the centerpiece of the Warriors’ ground attack.
Receiver Cruz Torres caught two touchdown passes against Columbiana and gives Brookfield a dangerous target in the passing game.
Coach Randy Clark will need his offense to produce more consistently than Kirtland’s recent opponents.
Brookfield’s previous meeting against Garrettsville Garfield, a 21-13 loss, demonstrated that the Warriors can compete with strong defensive teams.
Kirtland’s recent defensive performances, playoff experience, and multiple rushing weapons give the Hornets the advantage.
- Historical note: Kirtland is 5-2 in recorded games played on November 6.
- On Deck: Winner faces Jeromesville Hillsdale or Mineral Ridge.
Conneaut at Garrettsville Garfield
Division V, Region 17 quarterfinal
- Records: Conneaut 10-1; Garfield 10-0
- MaxPreps: Garfield No. 8; Conneaut No. 34 in Division V (Conneaut ranking from Oct. 31)
- OV Predictor: Garfield 75%, Conneaut 25%
- Projected Score: Garfield 29, Conneaut 23
- Recorded Head-to-Head: Garfield leads 2-0
The most historic season in Conneaut football history continues with another major challenge.
Conneaut Football earned its first playoff victory in school history last Friday with an 18-12 overtime win over Chagrin Falls.
Trailing 12-0 at halftime, the Spartans rallied behind quarterback Wyant Dobran and versatile playmaker Steven Kessler.
Kessler scored the tying touchdown on a 32-yard screen pass and caught the winning 17-yard touchdown in overtime.
An interception by Alden Goudge ended Chagrin Falls’ final possession and secured the victory.
Coach Rocco Dobran now takes his team on the road to face an undefeated Garfield squad that already owns two postseason victories over Conneaut in the recorded series.
The G-Men won 48-21 in 2022 and 56-13 in 2023.
Conneaut has been considerably more productive offensively this season.
Dobran has thrown for 1,526 yards and 21 touchdowns, while Isaiah Boles has contributed to a balanced rushing attack.
Garfield counters with a punishing ground game.
Ryder Cain has rushed for 1,365 yards and 21 touchdowns, while Collin McGranahan has added 855 rushing yards and 13 scores.
McGranahan has also thrown for more than 600 yards, giving Garfield a dual-threat dimension.
Nate Baczkowski supplies another explosive option and scored on a 46-yard run in Garfield’s 21-13 victory over Brookfield.
That result provides an important comparison. Garfield defeated Brookfield by eight points, while Conneaut will attempt to produce a different result against the same unbeaten opponent.
Garfield has held nine consecutive opponents under 20 points, but Conneaut has demonstrated that it can win games even when its offense struggles early.
- Historical note: Conneaut is 2-2 in recorded games played on November 6.
- On Deck: Winner faces Perry or Canton Central Catholic.
Dalton at Cuyahoga Heights
Division VII, Region 25 quarterfinal
- Records: Dalton 5-6; Cuyahoga Heights 9-1
- MaxPreps: Cuyahoga Heights No. 14; Dalton No. 16 in Division VII
- OV Predictor: Cuyahoga Heights 77%, Dalton 23%
- Projected Score: Cuyahoga Heights favored
- Historical Week 12: Cuyahoga Heights 13-5; Dalton 2-1
Records alone do not tell the entire story of this matchup.
Cuyahoga Heights Football has won nine consecutive games since its season-opening defeat and has developed into one of the area’s most consistent playoff contenders.
The Red Wolves enter Friday after a 38-6 victory over Fairport Harding and bring a 13-5 record in historical Week 12 games into the quarterfinal.
Coach Al Martin has a program accustomed to postseason pressure.
Dalton Football, meanwhile, enters with an unusual 5-6 record for a team still competing in November.
The Bulldogs played one of the most difficult schedules in Division VII during the regular season, and have been battle-tested against strong competition.
Dalton returned to form in last week’s 38-6 victory over Monroeville.
Quarterback Brady McFarren threw touchdown passes to Carter Hignight and Micah Miller, while Gage Stitt scored twice on the ground.
Hignight caught 10 passes for 147 yards in the first half alone.
The Bulldogs accumulated 423 yards of offense, including 237 passing and 186 rushing.
That performance showed the kind of balance Dalton will need against a Cuyahoga Heights team that has made defensive consistency a hallmark of its success.
Despite their different records, the teams are separated by only two places in the latest MaxPreps Division VII rankings.
For Cuyahoga Heights, protecting the football and preventing explosive plays will be critical. Dalton has enough postseason experience to take advantage if the Red Wolves provide opportunities.
- Historical note: Cuyahoga Heights is 6-3 in recorded November 6 games and has won 13 of its 18 recorded Week 12 contests.
Eastlake North at Nordonia
Division II, Region 5 quarterfinal
- Records: North 10-1; Nordonia 9-1
- OV Predictor: Nordonia 60%, North 40%
- Projected Score: Nordonia 27, North 25
- Recorded Head-to-Head: Nordonia leads 2-1
Two teams with 19 combined victories will meet in one of Friday’s most intriguing Division II contests.
Eastlake North Football is enjoying a breakthrough season.
The Rangers earned the first playoff victory in school history with a dominant 41-0 win over Brush last Friday.
Josh Fenick scored four first-half rushing touchdowns as North accumulated nearly 400 rushing yards.
The Rangers’ defense was equally impressive, holding Brush to negative rushing yardage.
Coach Shawn Dodd has emphasized the importance of building a winning culture, and his team now has an opportunity to advance even deeper into the postseason.
The Rangers have several players capable of changing the game.
King Mattice leads the team with 791 rushing yards, while Fenick adds another dimension through his ability to run the football.
Defensive standout John Murphy, the Chagrin Valley Conference Lake Division Defensive Player of the Year, has recorded 20 tackles for loss and seven sacks.
Nordonia’s offense presents a different challenge.
Quarterback Steven Fakult has thrown for 2,234 yards and 24 touchdowns, spreading the football to a talented receiving corps.
CJ Mayes has rushed for 528 yards, and Brock Barwidi has provided explosive plays on special teams.
Nordonia enters after a dramatic 42-33 regular-season finale against Wadsworth.
The Knights trailed 20-14 at halftime before scoring 28 second-half points. Barwidi returned a punt 77 yards for a touchdown, helping spark the comeback.
Coach Scott Barwidi has guided Nordonia to nine wins in his first season.
The teams have met three times in the available historical records. North won 38-20 in 1994, but Nordonia answered with victories in 1995 and 1996.
The model favors Nordonia, but North’s powerful running game and aggressive defense make this a compelling matchup.
Historical note: North is 2-2 in recorded November 6 games.
Hawken at Notre Dame Cathedral Latin
Division III, Region 9 quarterfinal
- Records: Hawken 8-3; NDCL 9-1
- Location: Lion Stadium
- MaxPreps: NDCL No. 10; Hawken No. 39 in Division III
- OV Predictor: NDCL 52%, Hawken 48%
- Projected Score: NDCL 24, Hawken 23
- Historical Week 12: Hawken 3-3; NDCL 1-3
Few games on Friday’s schedule project to be closer.
The Ohio Varsity Matchup Predictor gives Notre Dame Cathedral Latin Football only a four-percentage-point advantage over Hawken Football.
The Lions are seeking their first 10-win season in school history after finishing the regular season 9-1 and claiming their first league championship since 2012.
Quarterback Brady Capel has thrown for 1,302 yards and rushed for 591, accounting for 25 total touchdowns in the reported statistics.
NDCL also features several defensive standouts.
Joey Penny has recorded 14 tackles for loss and seven sacks, while Joey Velotta leads the team with 85 tackles.
Carmen Cirino has contributed three interceptions and five tackles for loss.
Coach Sam Vander Ven has emphasized the value of a veteran defensive group that has developed together.
Hawken, meanwhile, arrives following one of the most exciting victories of the opening playoff round.
The Hawks defeated Howland, 36-29, in overtime behind five touchdown passes from Tanner Brandt.
Brandt threw for more than 300 yards, connecting repeatedly with Charlie Mallett and Kevin Oster.
Mallett caught 15 passes for 241 yards and two touchdowns, while Oster scored three times, including the overtime winner.
Mallett has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards for the second consecutive season.
Patrick Murphy also gives the Hawks an additional offensive weapon capable of contributing in multiple roles.
An interesting common-opponent comparison involves West Geauga.
Hawken defeated the Wolverines, 27-26, on September 10, while NDCL suffered its only loss against West Geauga, 7-0, in August.
The Lions’ defensive strength will be tested by one of the area’s most productive passing attacks.
Hawken’s challenge will be protecting Brandt and finding ways to create separation against a disciplined NDCL defense.
- Historical note: No previous Hawken–NDCL meetings are recorded in the database dating to 1972. Hawken is 2-2 in recorded November 6 games.
- On Deck: Winner faces Garfield Heights or Benedictine.
Canton Central Catholic at Perry
Division V, Region 17 quarterfinal
- Records: Canton Central Catholic 7-4; Perry 10-0
- Location: Alumni Stadium, Perry
- MaxPreps: Perry No. 2; Canton Central Catholic No. 38 in Division V
- OV Predictor: Perry 85%, Canton Central Catholic 15%
- Projected Score: Perry 28, Canton Central Catholic 20
- Recorded Head-to-Head: Perry leads 1-0
- Historical Week 12: Perry 10-3
The most unusual playoff storyline of the week leads to a rematch in Lake County.
Canton Central Catholic’s season appeared to end with a 26-16 loss to Youngstown Liberty in the opening round.
Instead, the Crusaders received another opportunity after the OHSAA disqualified Liberty for using an ineligible player who wore an eligible jersey.
The Crusaders now travel to Perry, where they will face a team that defeated them 42-7 in the season opener.
Perry has been dominant throughout the fall.
Quarterback Nate Trefzger has thrown for 1,433 yards and 13 touchdowns while adding 10 rushing scores.
Running back Carter Hopkins has accumulated 736 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns.
Traxton Richards contributes as both a receiver and defender, while Michal Niedzwiecki has recorded 10 tackles for loss.
The Pirates have held each of their last 11 opponents under 20 points and enter Friday after receiving a first-round bye.
Their historical postseason record is equally impressive.
Perry is 10-3 in Week 12 games in the available archive and has won six consecutive recorded contests at this stage of the season since 2019.
The Crusaders have the benefit of an unexpected second chance, but reversing a 35-point regular-season loss will require a vastly improved performance on both sides of the football.
- Historical note: Perry is 2-1 in recorded games played on November 6.
- On Deck: Winner faces Garrettsville Garfield or Conneaut.
Strongsville at Mentor
Division I, Region 1 quarterfinal
- Records: Strongsville 8-3; Mentor 8-2
- Location: Jerome T. Osborne Stadium
- MaxPreps: Mentor No. 30; Strongsville No. 40 in Division I
- OV Predictor: Mentor 66%, Strongsville 34%
- Projected Score: Mentor 29, Strongsville 25
- Recorded Head-to-Head: Mentor leads 21-4
- Historical Week 12: Mentor 14-3
The rematch everyone in Mentor has been anticipating arrives Friday.
On October 2, Strongsville dominated Mentor, 56-30, ending the Cardinals’ 21-game Greater Cleveland Conference winning streak.
The Mustangs rolled up 604 yards of offense, including 360 rushing yards, while building a 28-10 halftime lead.
It was Strongsville’s first victory over Mentor since 2008 and its first in 20 recorded meetings.
Strongsville has continued to build momentum since that breakthrough.
Coach Jason Trusnik has guided the Mustangs to five consecutive victories, including a 32-0 shutout of Solon last week.
Running back Kendrick Boddie has surpassed 1,000 rushing yards, while 6-foot-4, 300-pound junior lineman Faisal Abuhamdeh anchors the offensive line.
Mentor coach Matt Gray has made no secret of the significance of the rematch.
The Cardinals will be healthier at quarterback than they were during the first meeting.
Brogan Jones, who missed the October 2 contest, is back after throwing for 1,121 yards and seven touchdowns in the available statistics.
However, Mentor will be without running back Braylon Callahan, whose season ended because of injury.
Ryan Orsog will take over as the primary running back. He has rushed for 406 yards and five touchdowns.
The Cardinals also feature two productive receivers.
Logan Berwald leads the team with 38 receptions for 661 yards, while Jeremiah Claridy has caught 25 passes for 434 yards.
Mentor has responded well to its loss, defeating Shaker Heights 42-3 and Euclid 31-0, with an administrative 1-0 result against Lorain between those games.
Strongsville’s ability to control the line of scrimmage was decisive in October. Mentor must reverse that advantage to reach the regional semifinals.
The Cardinals have more history on their side.
Mentor is 14-3 in recorded Week 12 games and has won six consecutive contests at this stage of the season.
The teams have split two previous recorded Week 12 meetings. Strongsville won 17-3 in 2008, and Mentor answered with a 33-0 victory in 2024.
- Historical note: Mentor is 3-4 and Strongsville 3-3 in recorded November 6 games.
- On Deck: Winner faces Austintown-Fitch or Canton McKinley.
University School at Salem
Division III, Region 9 quarterfinal
- Records: University School 6-4; Salem 8-2
- Location: Sebo Stadium, Salem
- MaxPreps: Salem No. 29; University School No. 43 in Division III
- OV Predictor: Salem 59%, University 41%
- Projected Score: Salem 26, University 24
- Recorded Head-to-Head: No previous meetings recorded since 1972
After more than a week of legal uncertainty, University School Football finally has a playoff opponent and a confirmed game date.
The Preppers will travel to Salem following a November 5 decision by the Eighth District Court of Appeals that allowed the OHSAA to enforce its disqualification of Cleveland Glenville.
The ruling cleared the way for University School to advance into the regional quarterfinal.
The Preppers enter on a two-game on-field losing streak after falling to St. Charles and Howland to end the regular season.
Nevertheless, their offense features several dangerous playmakers.
Quarterback Nico Morelli has thrown for 1,847 yards and 17 touchdowns, according to the News-Herald’s updated statistics.
Asher Wilmink has rushed for 909 yards and seven touchdowns.
Receiver Tylar Robinson has caught 51 passes for 935 yards and also plays a major role defensively at safety.
Salem enters at 8-2 after averaging 29.2 points per game while allowing 24.2.
The Quakers rely on running backs Brandon Kana and Xander Kinsey to establish their offense.
The teams share an interesting common opponent.
University School lost to Howland late in the regular season, while Salem defeated the Tigers, 28-14, in Week 8.
The Quakers have the home-field advantage and the stronger record, but University School’s offensive talent gives the Preppers an opportunity to make this a competitive game.
The legal uncertainty surrounding the opening round makes preparation particularly important for both teams.
- On Deck: Winner faces Willoughby South or Youngstown Ursuline.
Wadsworth at Mayfield
Division II, Region 5 quarterfinal
- Records: Wadsworth 9-2; Mayfield 10-0
- Location: Wildcat Stadium, Mayfield
- MaxPreps: Wadsworth No. 15; Mayfield No. 22 in Division II
- OV Predictor: Mayfield 59%, Wadsworth 41%
- Projected Score: Mayfield 24, Wadsworth 22
- Recorded Head-to-Head: No previous meetings recorded since 1972
- Historical Week 12: Mayfield 4-5
An undefeated season meets one of the area’s most explosive passing offenses Friday.
Mayfield Football has started 10-0 for the first time since 2019 and enters the regional quarterfinal with a defense allowing just 9.2 points per game.
The Wildcats have been especially effective at disrupting opposing offenses.
John Harris leads the team with 19 tackles for loss, and five Mayfield defenders have recorded at least 10.
Offensively, quarterback Dario D’Agostino has thrown for 1,719 yards and 22 touchdowns in the updated reported statistics.
Grand Valley State commit Jayden Haynes leads the receiving corps with 34 catches for 649 yards.
The running game features Brody Colello and Ben Koret, who have combined for more than 900 yards.
Wadsworth’s offense presents a significant challenge.
Quarterback Brysen Hall has thrown for 2,837 yards and 30 touchdowns, with Jay’len King catching 62 passes for 1,094 yards.
The Grizzlies average 401 yards per game and have scored at least 24 points in eight consecutive contests.
Their rushing attack also showed improvement during last week’s 42-7 victory over North Royalton.
Braydan Todd rushed for 99 yards and three touchdowns as Wadsworth produced a season-high 200 rushing yards.
Hall completed 17-of-19 passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns while adding another rushing score.
Wadsworth had lost consecutive games to Medina Highland and Nordonia before returning to the win column in the opening round.
The Grizzlies must protect Hall and establish enough of a running game to prevent Mayfield from focusing entirely on the passing attack.
Mayfield’s defense has answered every challenge so far, but this could be its most difficult test of the season.
- Historical note: Mayfield is 4-1 in recorded November 6 games and is seeking its first 11-0 start since 2019.
- On Deck: Winner faces Medina Highland or Brecksville-Broadview Heights.
West Geauga at Norton
Division IV, Region 13 quarterfinal
- Records: West Geauga 9-2; Norton 9-1
- Location: Norton Stadium
- MaxPreps: Norton No. 11; West Geauga No. 20 in Division IV
- OV Predictor: Norton 53%, West Geauga 47%
- Projected Score: Norton 23, West Geauga 22
- Recorded Head-to-Head: West Geauga leads 2-0
If the Ohio Varsity Matchup Predictor is accurate, this could be one of Friday’s closest games.
West Geauga Football travels to Norton seeking its first 10-win season since 2015.
The Wolverines have developed a productive, run-oriented offense and a defense capable of shutting down opponents.
Anthony Dzurilla rushed for 133 yards in last week’s 24-14 victory over Hubbard, raising his season total to 1,079.
Vince Vecchio added two rushing touchdowns against Hubbard and has eight this season.
Quarterback Mickey Keenan has contributed 545 rushing yards and 306 passing yards, giving the Wolverines another effective ground threat.
West Geauga has recorded five shutouts this season and suffered only two losses, against Hawken and undefeated Perry.
Norton presents a different kind of challenge.
The Panthers have won six consecutive games since suffering their only loss to Streetsboro on September 11.
Senior quarterback Trey Kersten directs the offense.
Running back Jason Beverly has surpassed 900 rushing yards, while receivers Alex Meinen and Cortes Everett give Norton productive options in the passing game.
Norton also has been outstanding defensively, holding four consecutive opponents under 20 points.
The programs have met twice in the recorded historical database.
West Geauga won 18-6 in 1988 and 33-0 in 1989.
Their first recorded meeting in 37 years brings two nine-win teams together with a regional semifinal berth on the line.
The matchup could come down to whether West Geauga can establish its running game against Norton’s defense.
- Historical note: West Geauga is 3-4 in recorded games played on November 6.
- On Deck: Winner faces Streetsboro or Orrville.
Ursuline at Willoughby South
Division III, Region 9 quarterfinal
- Records: Ursuline 7-4; Willoughby South 10-0
- MaxPreps: Ursuline No. 2; Willoughby South No. 9 in Division III
- OV Predictor: South 66%, Ursuline 34%
- Projected Score: South 27, Ursuline 23
- Recorded Head-to-Head: No previous meetings recorded since 1972
One of the area’s most explosive offenses will face a battle-tested postseason opponent when Willoughby South Football hosts Youngstown Ursuline.
The Rebels enter Friday undefeated and seeking their first 11-0 start since 2005.
Quarterback Luke Jensen has been the driving force behind South’s success.
Jensen has completed 125-of-188 passes for 2,309 yards and 26 touchdowns against just three interceptions.
His favorite target is Josh Jensen, who has caught 39 passes for 931 yards and 13 touchdowns.
The Rebels also feature Anthony Mock, who has 506 receiving yards, and a balanced rushing attack led by Moogy Fullerton with 602 yards and nine touchdowns.
Elijah Fitch has added 414 rushing yards and five scores.
South’s defense has been equally impressive.
Scotty Balash leads the team with 78 tackles, while Damarhi Morgan has recorded six sacks.
The Rebels have intercepted 20 passes in the available season statistics.
Ursuline enters after overcoming a second-half deficit to defeat Lake Catholic, 34-20, in the opening round.
The Fighting Irish trailed 20-19 in the third quarter before scoring the final 15 points.
Running back Vinnie Fecko scored the go-ahead touchdown and added a two-point conversion.
Quarterback Patrick Reardon completed 14 passes for 243 yards and two touchdowns.
Ray Javey caught four passes for 81 yards and a score, while Ethan Sandusky contributed a touchdown reception, a crucial fumble recovery and the game-clinching rushing touchdown.
Fecko has rushed for 1,134 yards and 15 touchdowns this season, making him Ursuline’s most productive offensive weapon.
The Fighting Irish also have a difficult schedule behind them and enter ranked second in the latest MaxPreps Division III computer rankings despite their four losses.
South, ranked ninth by MaxPreps, has won its 10 games by an average margin of more than 25 points.
The Rebels have the offensive firepower and home-field advantage, but Ursuline has demonstrated an ability to respond when games become difficult.
South must find a way to contain Fecko while avoiding the mistakes that helped Lake Catholic briefly take control against the Irish.
- Historical note: South is 2-3 in recorded November 6 games.
- On Deck: Winner faces University School or Salem.
Friday’s biggest questions
Eleven games. Twenty-two teams. Eleven seasons will end.

Can Conneaut continue its historic postseason run against undefeated Garfield?
Will North’s rushing attack be enough to slow Nordonia’s explosive offense?
Can Hawken’s passing game solve NDCL’s veteran defense?
Will Mentor avenge one of its most disappointing regular-season defeats?
Can Wadsworth become the first team to solve Mayfield’s defense?
Will West Geauga reach 10 victories for the first time in 11 years?
And can Ursuline’s postseason experience end Willoughby South’s perfect season?
All 11 matchups offer different challenges, but the stakes are the same.
Win, and the season continues.
Lose, and the journey ends.
