Division VI football playoff breakdown
Seven area teams — Springfield Catholic Central, Lehman Catholic, Covington, Fort Loramie, Marion Local, Ansonia and Minster — qualified for the Division VI high school football playoffs. Their games will be played at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
REGION 24
(8) Minster (5-5) at (1) Springfield Catholic Central (9-1)
Catholic Central (No. 7 in the state) lost only to 8-2 Marion Local in Week 2. QB Brian Kelly leads a powerful offense that averaged 38.9 points with skills he displayed in passing for 170 yards and rushing for 162 in a Week 10 win against Mechanicsburg. Minster broke its five-game winning streak (a school best since 1996) with a season-ending loss against Coldwater in Week 10 but still advanced to its first postseason since 2001 (10th overall).
(7) Lockland (6-4) at (2) Lehman Catholic (9-1)
Lehman Catholic is in the postseason for the fifth straight season after winning its final nine games following a season-opening loss against 8-2 Anna. The independent Cavaliers have scored 34 or more points seven times. Lockland, of the Miami Valley Conference, broke a three-game losing streak with a season-ending 53-16 win against Fayetteville, during which it ran just 21 plays and also scored by kickoff return, field goal, punt return and interception return.
(6) Ansonia (9-1) at (3) Covington (10-0)
Covington defeated Ansonia, its Cross County Conference mate, 28-21 in Week 8 and also 28-7 in the first round of last season’s D-VI playoffs. Sixth-ranked Covington is in the playoffs for the 11th time in the past 12 seasons with its first undefeated record since 2007 as RBs Tyler Noffsinger and Isaiah Winston form an imposing pair. Ansonia started 7-0 before its loss to Covington and is in the postseason for the third straight time and fifth overall.
(5) Marion Local (8-2) at (4) Fort Loramie (8-2)
Fort Loramie is making its second straight postseason appearance after its playoff debut last season in just its fifth year as a program. The Redskins advanced to the regional final last year before losing 27-0 to — you guessed it — Marion Local, which then dropped a state semifinal in overtime. Marion Local, ranked No. 8 in the state, won back-to-back titles in 2006 and ’07 and is making its 13th playoff appearance. The Flyers broke a two-game losing streak against 7-3 Coldwater and 10-0 Delphos St. John’s with a Week 10 win against Fort Recovery.
