Could we play with this foursome?

It looks as though the Ironton Fighting Tigers and Rock Hill Redmen should qualify for the Division V Region 17 football playoffs and the Symmes Valley Vikings appear to be in as well in the Division VII Region 25 postseason play.

The Chesapeake Panthers could make it a foursome with a win over the Coal Grove Hornets this Friday and might even qualify if Newark Catholic loses to Watkins Memorial.

Although nothing is set in granite, the playoff picture is shaping up as Ironton, Rock Hill and River Valley finishing in the final three spots.

River Valley will probably be sixth with a win against Shadyside but seventh or eighth with a loss.

Ironton will probably be eighth unless they get a little help from other teams. Rock Hill will probably be seventh but may slip to eighth depending other teams’ results.

Rock Hill has been helped by the open date when Fostoria St. Wendelin dropped football before the season started. The Redmen would probably have gotten only 3.5 points on the first level and no second level points. Instead, they are getting an average.

That would set up first round pairings between Ironton at Alexander, Rock Hill at Zane Trace and River Valley at Wheelersburg.

As of now, Ironton would be at Wheelersburg, Rock Hill at Zane Trace and River Valley at Alexander.

Stay tuned.

As for the Panthers, a win over Coal Grove would lock up a playoff berth. They may still qualify with a loss but there is a chance they could drop out of the top eight.

Chesapeake slipped to No. 7 in the region after its loss to Ironton last week. Fredericktown is No. 9 and Cardington-Lincoln No. 10. Both are 7-2 and play each other this week.

The Fredericktown-Cardington winner could jump ahead of Chesapeake if the Panthers lose.

Newark Catholic should qualify even with a loss to Watkins Memorial although there is an outside chance they could fall to ninth.

The Panthers (7-2) would play at Lucasville Valley is seventh, at Paint Valley if sixth and at Fort Frye if eighth.

Symmes Valley (6-3) is No. 6 this week in the region and plays at Northwest. The Vikings are virtually in the postseason unless they lose and certain teams get upset wins.

The Vikings can finish anywhere from No. 5 to No. 8. At fifth they would play at Harvest Prep, at No. 6 at Caldwell, at No. 7 at Trimble and at No. 8 at Danville.

WHAT DID I MISS HERE CAUSE WE'RE CURRENTLY OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS. I HOPE HE'S RIGHT.

[svac83]

the important thing to look at here is the week 10 minimum points and if you look in that column ironton is ahead of coshocton. because that category already has all the l2 points you are guaranteed from teams that you beat that are playing head to head.

i disagree a little with his who will finish where but we will see.

[Henry Jones, Jr.]

The trick is in the second level points. Ironton will receive a lot of "automatic" second level points due to OVC match ups of teams they have beaten. For example, to Ironton, they will get the same number of points regardless of who wins between Chesapeake/Coal Grove and Fairland/Rock Hill because they have beaten all these teams. Portsmouth over Waverly would give the Tigers enough 2nd level points with their own win over South Point to edge out Coshocton.
Coshocton's defeated opponents are severe underdogs except one game that is a toss up. I forget what game it is but if Coshocton's opponents win would give them enough points to knock out the Tigers if Portsmouth loses to Waverly

Or what he said^^^^^

[piratepride86]

Waverly will beat Portsmouth

[Henry Jones, Jr.]

Waverly will beat Portsmouth

Please let us exist in the world of "what if" for at least a couple more days. It's cathartic.
