The OHSAA has released its Round 1 playoff pairings for next week's state football tournament. Eight local teams are in and there will be two games featuring two local opponents(which is a sports editor's dream). Let's take a look.

Division I - Games tentatively scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 6.

Region 1

8 Brecksville-Broadview Heights (7-3) at 1 Solon (10-0)

7 Warren G. Harding (8-2) at 2 Cleveland Glenville (10-0)

6 Mentor (7-3) at 3 Lakewood St. Edward (10-0)

5 Willoughby South (9-1) at 4 Austintown-Fitch (9-1)

Region 2

8 Medina (8-2) at 1 Canton McKinley (8-2)

7 Twinsburg (9-1) at 2 Sylvania Southview (10-0)

6 Massillon Washington (7-3) at 3 Toledo Whitmer (9-1)

5 Fremont Ross (9-1) at 4 Toledo St. John’s Jesuit (9-1)

Region 3

8 Troy (8-2) at 1 Pickerington Central (9-0)

7 Columbus Northland (8-2) at 2 Hilliard Davidson (10-0)

6 Hilliard Darby (8-2) at 3 Springfield (8-2)

5 Dublin Coffman (8-2) at 4 Westerville South (8-2)

Region 4

8 Huber Heights Wayne (7-3) at 1 Middletown (10-0)

7 Hamilton (7-3) at 2 Cincinnati Colerain (10-0)

6 Cincinnati St. Xavier (5-4) at 3 Cincinnati LaSalle (9-1)

5 Centerville (8-2) at 4 Cincinnati Archbishop Moeller (7-3)

Division II - Games tentatively scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 5.

Region 5

8 Kent Roosevelt (8-2) at 1 Tallmadge (10-0)

7 Chagrin Falls Kenston (8-2) at 2 Mentor Lake Catholic (9-1)

6 Warren Howland (10-0) at 3 Copley (9-1)

5 Aurora (8-2) at 4 Ashland (8-2)

Region 6

8 Sandusky (6-4) at 1 Avon (10-0)

A loss didn't knock out the Blue Streaks in Week 10. A tough schedule was recognized and Sandusky got in. Unfortunately they drew Avon, a team that has won every game by 18 or more points this year. Mike Franklin will have the streaks ready, though.

7 Maumee (7-3) at 2 Avon Lake (8-2)

A rematch of last year's first round. Only this time it's at the Shoremen's palace, a stadium that deserves to have as many playoff games there as humanly possible. With a win, the Shoremen could face off against two more teams they've played this year in Avon and Olmsted Falls.

6 Cleveland John F. Kennedy (7-3) at 3 Olmsted Falls (7-3)

5 Maple Heights (10-0) at 4 Toledo Central Catholic (8-2)

Region 7

8 Zanesville (9-1) at 1 Columbus Marion-Franklin (10-0)

7 Dresden Tri-Valley (8-2) at 2 New Albany (10-0)

6 Columbus St. Charles (5-4) at 3 Uniontown Lake (7-3)

5 Sunbury Big Walnut (8-2) at 4 Canal Winchester (9-1)

Region 8

8 Dayton Carroll (7-3) at 1 Cincinnati Winton Woods (9-1)

7 New Carlisle Tecumseh (7-3) at 2 Kings Mills Kings (9-1)

6 Cincinnati Mount Healthy (8-2) at 3 Cincinnati Turpin (9-1)

5 Harrison (5-5) at 4 Trotwood-Madison (8-2)

Division III - Games tentatively scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 6.

Region 9

8 Hunting Valley University School (7-3) at 1 Parma Padua Franciscan (7-3)

7 Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary (6-4) at 2 Hubbard (8-2)

6 Youngstown Cardinal Mooney (5-4) at 3 Mogadore Field (7-3)

5 Poland Seminary (7-3) at 4 Akron Buchtel (7-3)

Region 10

8 Columbus St. Francis DeSales (5-5) at 1 Columbus Bishop Watterson (8-1)

7 Shelby (8-2) at 2 Clyde (9-1)

6 Columbus Eastmoor Academy (6-3) at 3 Tiffin Columbian (9-1)

5 Elida (8-2) at 4 Tipp City Tippecanoe (9-1)

Region 11

8 Minerva (8-2) at 1 Alliance Marlington (10-0)

7 Dover (8-2) at 2 Steubenville (8-2)

6 Salem (8-2) at 3 Thornville Sheridan (10-0)

5 Newark Licking Valley (8-2) at 4 East Liverpool (8-2)

Region 12

8 Washington Court House Washington (8-2) at 1 Springfield Shawnee (9-1)

7 Dayton Dunbar (7-3) at 2 Cin. Archbishop McNicholas (8-2)

6 Cincinnati Wyoming (9-1) at 3 St. Bernard Roger Bacon (7-3)

5 Jackson (9-1) at 4 Eaton (10-0)

Division IV - Games tentatively scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 5.

Region 13

8 Perry (6-4) at 1 Akron Manchester (10-0)

7 Garrettsville Garfield (8-2) at 2 Chagrin Falls (9-1)

6 Cortland Lakeview (8-2) at 3 St. Clairsville (8-2)

5 Campbell Memorial (9-1) at 4 Martins Ferry (7-2)

Region 14

8 Mansfield Ontario (7-3) at 1 Bellville Clear Fork (9-1)

7 Huron (7-3) at 2 Elyria Catholic (9-1)

You have to love another local-local matchup. The Tigers have been solid all season and can be just as explosive on offense as the Panthers. They'll have one heck of a task, though, in stopping Danny Reaser and the Panther passing attack at Knights of Columbus Stadium.

6 Wooster Triway (8-2) at 3 Orrville (7-3)

5 Ottawa-Glandorf (8-2) at 4 Genoa Area (10-0)

Region 15

8 Coshocton (8-2) at 1 Ironton (8-2)

7 Albany Alexander (8-2) at 2 Heath (9-1)

6 Amanda-Clearcreek (7-3) at 3 Columbus Bishop Hartley (8-2)

5 Portsmouth West (8-2) at 4 Sparta Highland (8-2)

Region 16

8 Cincinnati Taft (7-3) at 1 Clarksville Clinton-Massie (10-0)

7 Waynesville (8-2) at 2 Plain City Jonathan Alder (9-1)

6 Kettering Archbishop Alter (8-2) at 3 Cincinnati North College Hill (10-0)

5 Kenton (9-1) at 4 Carlisle (10-0)

Division V - Games tentatively scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 6.

Region 17

8 North Lima South Range (7-3) at 1 Youngstown Ursuline (10-0)

7 Independence (8-2) at 2 Kirtland (10-0)

6 Hanoverton United (7-3) at 3 Cuyahoga Heights (9-1)

5 Creston Norwayne (8-2) at 4 Columbiana Crestview (9-1)

Region 18

8 Northwood (7-3) at 1 Archbold (10-0)

7 Jeromesville Hillsdale (9-1) at 2 Collins Western Reserve (10-0)

Western Reserve has been balanced on offense and staunch on defense this season. They get a well-deserved home game and will try to make a run back to the state title game where they fell just short in their last playoff game - in 1984.

6 Columbia Station Columbia (9-1) at 3 Hamler Patrick Henry (9-1)

The Raiders will have to hit the road in Round 1, but they haven't lost an away game all season and are riding a nine-game winning streak. Regardless, you have to be happy for Jason Ward, who has molded that team into a group of very good football players in his time at Columbia.

5 Defiance Tinora (10-0) at 4 Lima Central Catholic (9-1)

Region 19

8 Coal Grove Dawson-Bryant (8-2) at 1 Oak Hill (9-1)

7 Woodsfield Monroe Central (8-2) at 2 Fredericktown (10-0)

6 West Lafayette Ridgewood (10-0) at 3 Wheelersburg (8-2)

5 Nelsonville-York (8-2) at 4 Minford (8-2)

Region 20

8 Hamilton Badin (5-5) at 1 Richwood North Union (10-0)

7 Cin. Summit Country Day (7-3) at 2 West Jefferson (10-0)

6 Lees Creek East Clinton (8-2) at 3 Cincinnati Hills Christian Acad. (7-3)

5 Coldwater (7-3) at 4 Anna (8-2)

Division VI - Games tentatively scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 5.

Region 21

8 Dalton (7-3) at 1 Bucyrus Wynford (10-0)

7 New Washington Buckeye Central (9-1) at 2 Mogadore (10-0)

6 Monroeville (8-2) at 3 Thompson Ledgemont (10-0)

The Eagles are coming off of a big win against St. Paul but there's no time to celebrate as undefeated Ledgemont awaits in Round 1. The Eagles are impressive this season under first-year head coach Dan Periat and it'd be hard to count them out of any game.

5 McDonald (8-2) at 4 Berlin Center Western Reserve (9-1)

Region 22

8 Edgerton (7-3) at 1 Delphos St. John’s (10-0)

7 Fremont St. Joseph Central Catholic (9-1) at 2 McComb (10-0)

6 Toledo Christian (8-2) at 3 Sycamore Mohawk (9-1)

5 Leipsic (9-1) at 4 Ada (9-1)

Region 23

8 Glouster Trimble (7-3) at 1 Shadyside (9-1)

7 Salineville Southern (8-2) at 2 Bridgeport (10-0)

6 Lancaster Fairfield Christian Academy (9-0) at 3 Newark Catholic (7-3)

5 Malvern (7-3) at 4 Willow Wood Symmes Valley (9-1)

Region 24

8 Minster (5-5) at 1 Springfield Catholic Central (9-1)

7 Lockland (6-4) at 2 Sidney Lehman Catholic (9-1)

6 Ansonia (9-1) at 3 Covington (10-0)

5 Maria Stein Marion Local (8-2) at 4 Fort Loramie (8-2)

Here's the AP's Week 7 state poll for Ohio. Under each I put the local implications of each division.
DIVISION I
1, Cle. Glenville (17) 7-0 299
2, Cin. Colerain (4) 7-0 228
3, Hilliard Davidson (3) 7-0 213
4, Lakewood St. Edward (4) 7-0 209
5, Middletown (1) 7-0 195
6, Pickerington Cent. (2) 6-0 182
7, Solon 7-0 127
8, Youngs. Austintown-Fitch (2) 7-0 92
9, Cin. La Salle 7-0 56
10, Cin. Moeller 6-1 52
Others receiving 12 or more points: 11, Sylvania Southview 37. 12, Twinsburg 24. 13, Massillon Washington 23. 14, Springfield 20. 15, Centerville 12.
AREA IMPLICATIONS: Amherst is pretty much the only team that could even have an argument to be on here, but the meat of their schedule is coming up and they should considered here if they win out. Long way to go, though with Brecksville at home, at Olmsted Falls and at Avon Lake still to go.
DIVISION II
1, Cols. Marion-Franklin (15) 7-0 281
2, Cin. Turpin (3) 7-0 212
3, Avon (1) 7-0 207
4, Maple Hts. (4) 7-0 200
5, New Albany (2) 7-0 185
6, Tol. Cent. Cath. (1) 7-0 145
7, Mentor Lake Cath. (2) 7-0 127
8, Warren Howland (3) 7-0 124
9, Copley (1) 7-0 87
10, Cin. Winton Woods 6-1 74
Others receiving 12 or more points: 11, Sunbury Big Walnut 50. 12, Ashland (1) 37. 13, Zanesville 17.
AREA IMPLICATIONS: Avon even grabbed a first-place vote this week, but proving time for the Eagles won't come until the playoffs with Midview, Fairview and Bay left on the schedule. Avon Lake may get on here if they win out.
DIVISION III
1, Clyde (13) 7-0 283
2, Alliance Marlington (9) 7-0 275
3, Steubenville (5) 6-1 238
4, Thornville Sheridan (3) 7-0 208
5, Eaton 7-0 159
6, Cols. Watterson (2) 5-1 156
7, Youngs. Mooney 4-2 100
8, Napoleon 6-1 79
9, Tiffin Columbian 6-1 57
10, E. Liverpool (1) 6-1 53
Others receiving 12 or more points: 11, St. Bernard Roger Bacon 34. 12, Spring. Shawnee 27. 13, Minerva 26. 14, Cin. Wyoming 24. 15, Akr. SVSM 18. 16, Parma Padua 12.
AREA IMPLICATIONS: No local teams, but Clyde is the class of the SBC. That's one impressive football program over the last few years. You'll notice Padua got some votes, too after beating Elyria Catholic last week.
DIVISION IV
1, Clarksville Clinton-Massie (13) 7-0 278
2, Akr. Manchester (7) 7-0 271
3, Middletown Fenwick (4) 7-0 230
4, Kettering Alter (4) 6-1 178
5, Genoa Area (2) 7-0 175
6, Kenton 6-1 143
7, Plain City Jonathan Alder (1) 6-1 113
8, Elyria Cath. (1) 6-1 110
9, Cin. N. College Hill 7-0 63
10, Bellville Clear Fork 6-1 51
Others receiving 12 or more points: 11, St. Clairsville 36. 12, Carlisle 29. 13, Ironton 25. 14, Cols. Hartley 22. 15, Coshocton 19. 15, Portsmouth W. (1) 19. 17, Campbell Memorial 14.
AREA IMPLICATIONS: Obviously the loss hurt EC this week, dropping them from No. 1 to No. 8. They have to get right up, though and get ready for a tough Cleveland Central Catholic team next week.
DIVISION V
1, Youngs. Ursuline (28) 7-0 323
2, Kirtland 7-0 230
3, Hamler Patrick Henry (1) 7-0 226
4, Fredericktown (2) 7-0 195
5, Richwood N. Union (2) 7-0 194
6, Archbold 7-0 149
7, Collins Western Reserve 7-0 144
8, W. Lafayette Ridgewood 7-0 79
9, Cuyahoga Hts. 6-1 50
10, W. Jefferson 7-0 42
Others receiving 12 or more points: 11, Defiance Tinora 40. 12, Lucasville Valley 22. 13, Lima Cent. Cath. 21. 14, Caldwell 19. 15, Columbiana Crestview 17. 16, N. Lima S. Range 14.
AREA IMPLICATIONS: Western Reserve proved its worth by taking it to St. Paul last week, but they didn't advance in the standings. I think people are going to make the Roughriders prove their mettle before they consider them a top five team in the state. Columbia may win out but it'd be pretty tough for them to break this poll no matter how bad they beat everyone from here on out.
DIVISION VI
1, Delphos St. John’s (28) 7-0 322
2, Maria Stein Marion Local 7-0 270
3, Mogadore 7-0 209
4, Bucyrus Wynford 7-0 190
5, Shadyside 7-0 169
6, Ada 7-0 130
7, McComb 7-0 119
8, Berlin Center Western Reserve (3) 7-0 109
9, Spring. Cath. Cent. 6-1 52
10, Newark Cath. 6-1 49
Others receiving 12 or more points: 11, Covington 37. 12, Willow Wood Symmes Valley (2) 30. 13, Thompson Ledgemont 28. 13, Fremont St. Joseph 28. 15, Bridgeport 25. 16, Salineville Southern 13.
AREA IMPLICATIONS: St. Paul and Monroeville have more or less fallen off the map in Division VI. The Flyers could still make the playoffs, but they'll obviously have to beat the Eagles and get some help in other places.

Avon Lake at Berea - Avon Lake gets its last game against a losing team as Westlake, Brecksville and Amherst round out the Shoremen's schedule after this week.
Black River at Brookside - It's make or break time for Brookside. The 3-3 Cardinals have something to prove every week from here on out.
Brooklyn at Clearview - The Clippers need to rebound from last week's loss to Columbia.
Buckeye at Wellington - Two teams who want to keep their winning ways going to salvadge disappointing seasons.
Columbia at Oberlin - A little relief for the Raiders after a hard win over Clearview last week.
Elyria at Hudson - Can the Pioneers make it two in a row? They should against a struggling Hudson squad.
Fairview at Midview - Midview could use a good win after getting knocked around by Rocky River last week and shut out by Bay the week before.
Firelands at Avon - The end of a long rivalry that spanned four conferences and six decades as Firelands moves on to the Patriot Athletic Conference next season.
Findlay at Sandusky - This should be another GBC win for the Streaks, who are having a solid season.
Lorain at Bishop Watterson - The chances are not good for Lorain against state-ranked Watterson on the road, but stranger things have happened.
Lutheran West at Keystone - The Wildcats' skill position players should be able to out-hustle the Longhorns.
Mapleton at New London - This game may not be pretty, but both these teams are desperate for a win.
Midpark at Amherst - The vacation is over for the Comets after this week. The powers of the SWC await in Weeks 8-10.
Monroeville at Plymouth - The Eagles need a win after falling to Western Reserve last week. They still have an outside shot at a conference title.
North Ridgeville at Vermilion - The Rangers should be able to milk an easy win out of a struggling Vermilion squad, but have to contain Anthoney Budka.
Norwalk at Galion - The Truckers have shown some fight this year and Galion is struggling, so a win is not out of the question for Norwalk.
Oak Harbor at Edison - It's hard to tell which Edison team will show up week to week and the Rockets are having a good season at 5-1 so far.
Olmsted Falls at Westlake - This may be the game of the week as the Demons face another tough test in the Bulldogs.
Padua at Elyria Catholic - The Panthers will face a tough defense this week, but Danny Reaser and his receiving corps aren't a good matchup for any team.
Perkins at Huron - The Pirates' struggles reached a new plataeu last week when they missed the game-tying extra point against Edison. The Tigers are not likely to feel sorry for them, though.
Rocky River at Bay - One team is scoring at will while the other is struggling to put up points. The Pirates are on a tear since losing to Avon.
St. Mary at Clyde - The No. 1 team in Region 10 faces a down on its luck team in St. Mary. This one could be decided early, but the Panthers are feeling good after nearly knocking off Huron last week.
St. Paul at Western Reserve - This will be the game of the week and could decide the Firelands Conference. The scoreboard operator may be busy.
