BELOIT, OH- In an interesting playoff match up in Division IV Region 13, the Warriors of West Branch will be taking on the two time defending state champion Glenville in a home game at Clinton Heacock Stadium.

Both teams coming off big first round wins, Glenville over Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin 47-20, West Branch a perfect season win over Hubbard 31-6.

Coopers' Warriors are 11-0 and sitting at the (4th) seed and Glenville the (5th seed), Glenville 8-3 on the season with big wins over Upper Arlington and St. Edward looks to continue their winning ways through the playoffs, they don't lose much since coming to Division IV.

Key players for West Branch are senior running back Boston Mullinix and senior wide receiver Joey Jackson, Mullinix a compact back that runs hard with intention racks up yards quite often having posted four straight games of over 120 yards. Jackson a speedy wideout has the athletic ability of making big plays.

For Glenville, who is always loaded with talent offensively, the key for them is their defense, they have size, athleticism and speed that does not have a lot of holes, Freshman Jaylen Edwards is a kid to look at playing backup defensive back and punt returner, who has blazing speed playing in first game versus NDCL in opening round of playoffs returning a 37 yard punt for a TD. 

Whichever team leaves Clinton Heacock Stadium with the win will face the winner of Mentor Lake Catholic-Mogadore Field.
