Division III football playoff breakdown
Four area teams — Shawnee, Eaton, Tippecanoe and Dunbar — qualified for the Division III high school football playoffs. Their games will be played at 7 p.m. Saturday
REGION 10
(5) Elida (8-2) at (4) Tippecanoe (9-1)
After a major roster reconstruction, Tippecanoe has made the postseason for the sixth straight season. The Red Devils’ only loss came against 9-1 Shawnee, but they closed the regular season with four straight wins. Senior Adam Ault leads the CBC in tackles with 144, and the offense is led by RB Jacob Polansky (941 yards, 12 TDs). Elida, from the Western Buckeye League, is in the playoffs for the second time in its history and the first since 1982 with its best record since it went 7-3 in 1995.
REGION 12
(8) Washington C.H. Washington (8-2) at (1) Shawnee (9-1)
Shawnee, ranked No. 8 in the state, lost only its opener against Springfield Catholic Central (which finished 9-1), 34-20. In winning nine straight and going 5-0 in the tough Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Division, the Braves have averaged 36 points per game with the help of junior QB Brad Jarzab (722 pass yards, 1,002 rush yards, 22 combined TDs). Washington recorded a state runner-up finish in 1981 and is making the fifth postseason appearance in school history, including the first since 2007.
(7) Dunbar (7-3) at (2) McNicholas (8-2)
Dunbar started 0-2 with losses against 6-4 Valley View and 8-2 Trotwood-Madison before closing with a 7-1 finish to get to the postseason for the second time in three years. Michigan State commitment Roger Williamson, a senior defensive back and wide receiver, leads a team that has received inspired play from junior QB Kris Hall. McNicholas QB Matt Staubach (943 rush yards, 648 pass yards, 22 combined TDs) led the Rockets to four straight wins to end the regular season following a 42-14 loss against Alter.
(5) Jackson (9-1) at (4) Eaton (10-0)
Eaton went undefeated by averaging 36.7 points per game and allowing seven points or less in nine of those games (only a 56-28 defeat of Valley View was the exception). QB Cole French is a versatile player who rarely leaves the field, and the Eagles, ranked No. 4 in the state, are big up front on both lines heading into their second straight postseason and sixth appearance in the past 11 years. Jackson won its first outright Southeastern Ohio Athletic League title since 1997 as RBs Klay Arthur and Drew Ervin combined to rush for 463 yards against Gallia Academy on Friday to clinch.
