The Ohio High School Athletic Association announced the final computer points ratings for football teams across seven divisions in Ohio.

There are 448 schools qualifying for the 50th annual postseason tournament.

The schedule is for the first round of the postseason Oct. 29-30.

During the playoffs, the first- and second-round games are hosted by the better-seeded team. Neutral sites will be used beginning with the third round (regional semifinals).

Divisions I, II, III and IV play on Friday nights, while Divisions V, VI and VII play on Saturday nights. All playoff games begin at 7 p.m.

The state football finals are scheduled from Dec. 2-5 at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton.

In Division I, Region 4, Moeller (7-3) is the No. 1 seed and will host Oak Hills (0-10) Friday night at Shea Stadium in Norwood.

The Crusaders, who defeated Cleveland St. Ignatius and Lakewood St. Edward in overtime in back-to-back weeks, continue a significant turnaround under head coach Mark Elder in his second season at the school.

"I'm proud of our guys for what we've done thus far, but we've just got to have a little more consistency," Elder said.

St. Xavier (8-2), the Greater Catholic League South division champion and 2020 Division I state champion, is the No. 2 seed and will host No. 15 Hamilton (2-6).

No. 3 Lakota West (8-1) will host West Clermont (2-8) in a rematch of an Aug. 27 game the host Firebirds won 45-7.

Princeton, which has a 9-1 record for the first time since 1993, is the No. 4 seed and will host Walnut Hills (2-8). Walnut Hills head coach James Crook is a former Princeton assistant coach.

Colerain (5-5), the No. 10 seed, will travel to No. 7 Elder (4-5).

In Division II, Region 8, Kings (10-0) is the No. 2 seed and will host No. 15 Lima Senior (3-6) Friday night.

The Knights captured the Eastern Cincinnati Conference title outright on Friday night.

"With this schedule and in this conference, to bring it 10 weeks in a row and come out on the winning end – the ball has to bounce your way sometimes," Kings coach Alex Garvin said. "We had some good games; we played solid in some and didn't play solid in some and still came out with some wins."

Anderson (8-2), winner of six consecutive games, is the No. 3 seed and will host Xenia (5-4).

Winton Woods (7-3) is projected to be the No. 7 seed and host ECC opponent Turpin (6-4). Winton Woods defeated Turpin 41-19 Oct. 8.

Withrow (8-1), which has earned six shutouts this season and was undefeated through five games for the first time since 2004, is the No. 8 seed and will host Troy (6-3).

In Division III, Region 12, Badin (9-0) is the No. 1 seed and will host Vandalia Butler (3-6) Oct. 29.

The Rams won the Greater Catholic League Co-Ed title with a 48-21 win at McNicholas Friday night.

Badin coach Nick Yordy said the undefeated season has been an enjoyable journey.

"The credit goes to all of our kids and the Badin community and their families for all the support and what they do for us and the amount of work these guys put in," Yordy said.

Monroe (8-2) is the No. 2 seed and will host Alter (5-5).

Ross (7-2) is the No. 4 seed and will host Chaminade Julienne (3-5).

Hughes (6-1) is the No. 8 seed and hosts Lima Shawnee (6-4).

In Division IV, Region 16, Wyoming (10-0) is the No. 1 seed and will host No. 16 Waynesville (5-5).

This is the fourth time in the past six seasons that the Cowboys have earned a No. 1 seed.

The Cowboys, winners of 57 consecutive regular-season games, won the Cincinnati Hills League title Friday night.

"We're excited to be peaking at the right time and going to the first round of the playoffs and really starting our new season," Wyoming coach Aaron Hancock said.

McNicholas (8-1), Clinton-Massie (8-1) and Bethel-Tate (8-1) are hosting first-round games.

Taylor (5-5), Indian Hill (5-5) and Shroder (4-2) qualified.

In Division V, Region 20, Taft (7-2) is the No. 1 seed and will host No. 16 Madeira (4-6). The Senators defeated Woodward 34-20 Friday night to win the Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference title.

"Our kids are definitely putting themselves in a position to make a great run in the playoffs," Taft coach Tyler Williams said.

Roger Bacon (7-2), Reading (7-2), Mariemont (7-3) and Purcell Marian (7-3) will host first-round games.

Blanchester (5-4), Williamsburg (6-4), Summit Country Day (4-4) and East Clinton (5-5) also qualified.

In Division VI, Region 24, Cincinnati Country Day (7-2) will host Deer Park (3-7). Gamble Montessori (6-2) and St. Bernard-Elmwood Place (3-5) qualified.

In Division VII, Region 28, No. 5 Cincinnati College Preparatory Academy (7-2) will host No. 12 Fayetteville-Perry.

Lockland (4-4) and Miami Valley Christian Academy (3-7) also qualified.

The state football finals are scheduled from Dec. 2-5 at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton.

KINGS MILLS, Ohio — The Kings High School football team clinched at least a share of the Eastern Cincinnati Conference title Friday night with a 35-21 win against Turpin.

But the undefeated Knights don't plan on resting on the accomplishment anytime soon.

"Our first goal is to win the ECC title. But after that we want to go as far as we possibly can and make history at Kings," Kings junior quarterback Will Kocher said.

Kocher threw three touchdown passes and scored on a 69-yard touchdown run on the second play of the third quarter. Kings, which had 380 yards of total offense, entered Friday night as the No. 2-ranked team in the Division II, Region 8 computer points standings.

"I think to win and be in the position that we are in going into Week 10 is a great testament to what these kids have done all offseason," Kings coach Alex Garvin said.

"I'm so proud of them and these coaches have done so much work to put us in this position. It just means everything."

Kings, 9-0 for the first time since 2014, scored 28 unanswered points after it trailed 7-0 after the first quarter.

Kocher found junior wide receiver Michael Mussari for the first of two touchdown passes (42 and 70 yards) to help tie the game late in the second quarter.

Two minutes later, Kocher connected with senior wide receiver Andy Bauman for a 36-yard score to help give the Knights a 14-7 halftime lead.

Kocher opened the third quarter with a quarterback keeper. Then, he ran 69 yards for a touchdown to help give Kings a 21-7 lead.

Senior kicker Ryan Sylski recovered his own onside kick, and that helped to set up senior running back Max Sannella's 6-yard touchdown run to give the Knights a 28-7 lead at the nine-minute mark of the third quarter.

Turpin, ranked No. 9 in the Division II, Region 8 computer points standings entering Friday, closed the gap when senior running back Keenan Alcalde – the ECC's leading rusher – scored on an 18-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter.

However, Kocher connected with Mussari on a 70-yard touchdown pass a short time later to help give Kings a 35-14 advantage.

Turpin made things interesting late in the game after senior wide receiver Ryan McDole's 23-yard touchdown reception.

Turpin recovered an onside kick, but Kings junior Jake Cameron's interception helped to seal the game for the Knights (9-0, 7-0 ECC), who conclude the regular season at Little Miami Oct. 22.

Turpin (6-3, 4-3 ECC) plays host to district rival Anderson (7-2, 6-1) Oct. 22.
