Area teams need help to make playoffs

0

COLUMBUS — The Ohio High School Athletic Association released its weekly football computer ratings on Tuesday and for the second straight week no Preble County team is among the top 12 in their respective divisions.

The weekly computer ratings are released every Tuesday leading up to the final report on Sunday morning, Oct. 30.

Preble Shawnee remains the highest ranked team among the county squads.

The Arrows (5-3) are 13th in Division V, Region 20 with 7.2125 points. They are scheduled to visit Northridge (2-6) on Friday. The Arrows can still make the playoffs but will need to win their remaining two games and get help from others teams. Shawnee is scheduled to visit Lemon-Monroe (2-6) next Friday in the season finale.

In Division III, Region 12, Eaton (2-6) is ranked 24th with 4.575 points. The Eagles still have slim playoff hopes, but need to win their final two games against Carlisle (6-2) and Valley View (7-1) and also receive help from other teams. Eaton will host Carlisle this Friday and will travel to Valley View next week to close out the regular season.

Also in D-III, Region 12, Talawanda (1-7) has been mathematically eliminated according to projections by playoff expert Joe Eitel. The Braves are 25th with 2.35 points. They will close out the season with a pair of away games. They will visit Northwest this Friday and travel to Hamilton Ross next week.

In Division VI, Region 24, Tri-County North’s playoff hopes to a hit last week with a loss to Miami East. The Panthers (4-4) are 14th in this week’s ranking with a weekly average of 5.775 points. They will play a pair of county schools over the next two weeks and need wins to keep their slim playoff hopes afloat.

North will host Twin Valley South (3-5), who is 23rd in D-VI, Region 24, this Friday. Next week, North will travel to National Trail (2-6), who is 25th in D-VI, Region 24 with 0.875 points.

All three teams still have outside chances to make the postseason, but need wins in their final two games plus a bunch of help from other teams in order to move up the rankings and into the top eight.

In addition to traveling to North on Friday, South will host Miami East in Week 10. National Trail has the daunting task of playing at unbeaten Covington (8-0) this week, before hosting North in the final game of the regular season.

The top 12 schools in each region are listed below by division and region with record and average points.

Of the 716 OHSAA member schools playing varsity football this fall, the largest 72 schools are in Division I, while the remaining schools are divided equally in Divisions II through VII (approximately 108 schools in each division). The top eight teams in each region will qualify for the playoffs.

Top eight schools from each region in the final report Oct. 30 will qualify for the playoffs.
