Several top teams are officially on a collision course as the favorites won big in the second round of the playoffs.

DIVISION I, REGION 4
#1 MOELLER 28, #9 ST. XAVIER  7
Jordan Marshall rushed for 263 yards and four touchdowns to help Moeller power past rival St. Xavier in front of a sellout crowd in Norwood. Marshall proved to be tough to contain all night for the Bombers matching his highest number of carries and churning out a season-high in yards. Luke Dunn continued his steady play going 10-18 for 90 yards.

Chase Herbstreit had another strong performance in a losing effort. The sophomore was 13-22 for 122 yards and a touchdown. Gage Patrick led the rushing attack with 133 yards on the ground for the Bombers. Jamaal Sharp caught six passes for 66 yards.

#2 ELDER 31, #7 MILFORD 6
Jack Reuter rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns as Elder got a balanced effort to push past Milford at The Pit on Friday night. The Panthers also got a touchdown run from tailback Luke Flowers and quarterback Ben Schoster connected with Luke Autenreib for a touchdown reception. Schoster was 12-15 for 128 yards on the night.

The Elder defense nearly pitched a shutout as they did not allow a score until 1:35 to go in the ball game. This was an impressive feat as Milford is known for a high scoring offense of their own. Elder advances to face number 3 seed Lakota West next week.
