Region 27

8 Caldwell (7) at 1 Newark Catholic (42)

Newark Catholic showed off its potent offense as it defeated Caldwell by five touchdowns on Saturday.

The Green Wave's only loss this year remains a 28-21 defeat at the hands of Heath.

While Newark Catholic will not see Heath in the Division VII postseason, it seems it has not missed a beat in its ability to score the football.

5 Glouster Trimble (28) at 4 East Knox (35)

A touchdown in the game's final minute would be the only difference needed by the Bulldogs as they prevailed over Glouster Trimble.

East Knox quarterback Peyton Lester led the Bulldogs with five touchdowns and 395 yards passing.

East Knox now meets Newark Catholic in the regional semifinals which will test its ability to score as effectively as it did against Glouster Trimble.

7 Hannibal River (53) at 2 Berne Union (21)

Berne Union was upset Saturday by a large 32-point margin against Hannibal River.

The Rockets' defense, which has thus far been effective, disappeared in this game leading to the team's ultimate demise.
