Delphos St John's (18-1)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Blue Jays finally took their first loss but a tough schedule has allowed them to play in some big time environments and get prepared for a playoff push.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. South Webster (16-2)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The favorite in southeast Ohio, South Webster has the size and talent to win a region after falling just short last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Arlington (17-3)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Besides a midseason slide, Arlington has impressed against a strong schedule.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Cornerstone Christian (13-6)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another strong season for Babe Kwasniak and company as he looks to get back to the state title picture with his son Quinn as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">6.

Botkins (14-6)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A difficult schedule plus some strong early season wins has Botkins playoff ready but conference rival Russia awaits.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">9. Minster (14-7)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A program that usually makes a deep football playoff push, Minster has found their rhythm and won five in a row.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">10. Franklin Monroe (16-4)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A team that needed to get star [player_tooltip player_id='2204927' first='Eric' last='Brenner'] back, if he can return to his early season form, I think the Jets have a chance to make a run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
