The OHSAA high school playoffs are down to the sweet 16 in each division. Two rounds of spirited playoff football are behind us and teams are that much closer to punching a ticket to state. This week’s matchups are as good as can be with many heavy hitters and favorites still in the mix for a championship.

The Moeller Crusaders are continuing their march in hopes of making it back to the state title game where they can seek redemption from a year ago. The Withrow Tigers seek to push their way into a regional final after several consecutive successful seasons. Mason plays the role of Cinderella, aiming to continue their improbable run. The winners this week will take that all important step closer to reach the ultimate goal.

Once again, the tristatefootball.com staff here to provide our picks in the 2023 Playoff Pick ’em.
