<p>Outlook: Springfield Catholic has enjoyed an excellent season to follow up their district championship and appearance in the sectionals last season. The Fighting Irish have very good talent and plenty of veteran experience to make a deep postseason run. With that being said, they cannot overlook teams such as Strafford and Fair Grove, who are capable of challenging.</p>
<p>Prediction: Springfield Catholic</p>
