Lakota West hosts St. Xavier in a Division I, Region 4 football quarterfinal at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6, in West Chester Township.
The Ohio High School Athletic Association lists the Firebirds as the No. 3 seed with a 9-1 record. No. 6 St. Xavier enters at 6-5.
The association gave each region’s top four seeds a first-round bye. Higher-seeded teams host through the regional semifinals, which are scheduled for Nov. 13.
Tickets are online only
Lakota West’s daily announcements direct fans to OHSAA’s ticket site. The school says there will be no ticket sales at the gate or during lunch.
Everyone attending must have a ticket. The school says Lakota West passes, Greater Miami Conference passes and Golden Passes will not be accepted for the playoff game.
The school said it expected a sellout and urged fans to buy online early.
A rematch of the opener
Lakota West won the teams’ season opener 20-7, as The Report Ohio reported. Kenyon Norman scored twice, and the Firebirds’ defense recorded three interceptions.
The playoff winner advances to the regional semifinals. OHSAA says neutral sites begin with the regional finals on Nov. 20.
