High school football playoffs preview

CINCINNATI - Playoff time in the Tri-State and the area is rife with representatives in every class and division of high school football, starting in Southeastern Indiana.

Lawrenceburg at Paoli: The Tigers have scored at least 50 points in each of their last four games. They're looking for their first Sectional title since 2005.

Greensburg at Indian Creek: Greensburg's Pirates defense has pitched five shutouts this season.

Columbus East at Franklin County: Franklin County is on the verge of their first Sectional title since 1998.

Kentucky has an all in post season format so we'll focus on a select sampling from Class 5 A.

West Jessmine at South Oldham: South Oldham lost two of its last three games but strength of schedule earns them the nod in a three-way tie breaker with Conner and Cooper.

Cooper at Anderson County: That doesn't mean Cooper isn't worthy. They're 9-1 and eager to atone for a first round ouster last season.

Montgomery County at Conner: The Cougars have won 7 in a row. 'Nuff said.

Scott at Franklin County: Scott lost to Franklin County 63-31 in week five. Revenge best served cold.

Ohio Division I

St. Xavier at Colerain: The Cardinals prevailed in their earlier meeting on a last second, 38 yard field goal. Should be another classic.

Sycamore at Elder: Sycamore coach Scott Datillo is from a line long of former Elder Panthers. Emotions will run high at the Pit on Saturday night.

Lakota East at Springboro: This is the first ever post-season appearance for Lakota East. They plan to make it count.

Huber Heights Wayne at Moeller: The Crusaders are back in a big way.
