Washington Court house is the top seed and their city rival Miami Trace is the three seed. Fairfield Union has had an impressive season and locked down the number 2 seed.

Their biggest obstacle will be conference rival Bishop Hartley who has a lot of younger talent ready to mature with a playoff run. Bexley and Johnstown will look to prevent Hartley from getting the rivalry meeting in the district finals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>District title prediction: Bishop Ready over Bishop Hartley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
