Carmel Catholic rides a three-game winning streak into the playoffs, fresh off a 38-24 victory over Fenwick in which junior quarterback Trae Taylor showcased his arm talent with 401 passing yards and two touchdowns, while sophomore running back Jaquel Edmonds contributed 101 rushing yards and a score.

One of the top games to watch in Division VI is Toronto (the Red Knights, not the Blue Jays) hosting Grandview Heights, which will have a three-hour bus ride toward Pittsburgh from Columbus. The first round consists of the better-seeded teams playing host, with the winner moving on to the second round to face a team that earned a bye in Round 1.
