Greater Cincinnati High School Football Postseason Update
This week, the Greater Cincinnati area is buzzing as high school football enters Week 13 of the postseason. With a total of 19 games set to take place across both Ohio and Kentucky, excitement is in the air.
In Ohio, the playoffs are moving to neutral sites for the regional semifinals, while in Kentucky, the games will take place at the higher seed’s home field. Additionally, East Central will be on the road in Indiana, following tournament regulations. It’s a big week, filled with matchups involving some of the best teams in the region.
One of the key games this week features the historic rivalry between the No. 1 seed Crusaders and fourth-seeded Vikings, both teams looking to make a statement in the playoffs. With Moeller having won the last encounter in the playoffs back in 2021, Princeton hopes to change the narrative after their earlier season loss.
Moeller’s quarterback, Matt Ponatoski, has shined this season, throwing for impressive numbers, including 415 yards in last week’s game. On the other hand, Princeton has shown resilience, bouncing back strong after that early-season setback, and has outscored their last opponents by wide margins.
Another exciting matchup will see the No. 2 seed Firebirds facing off against the No. 6 Bombers. They meet again after a close defensive battle during the season opener. Both teams come in with solid momentum, having recently dominated their playoff opponents.
In another notable game, the No. 1 seed Raptors will compete against the No. 5 seed Fighting Owls, with both teams featuring standout quarterbacks. Anderson has been dynamic on offense, averaging 51 points per game, while Mt. Healthy will aim to challenge their tough defense.
Additionally, the other featured game will bring together Harrison and La Salle, two teams with high-scoring offenses that promise to deliver an exciting encounter on the field. Harrison’s offense has been explosive, while La Salle’s defense will be looking to step up and make plays.
As teams across Greater Cincinnati gear up for these crucial matchups, the anticipation grows for what promises to be an exhilarating round of high school football action. Fans will be watching closely to see if their teams can continue their run in the playoffs and move one step closer to the championship.
