Region 27

1 Newark Catholic (35) vs. 4 East Knox (7) at Marengo Highland Covrette Stadium

Running back Mason Hackett's three touchdowns led the Green Wave to a big win over the Bulldogs of East Knox.

Newark Catholic now has back-to-weeks of only allowing 7 points and winning by 28 or more.

East Knox suffered its worst loss all year and gave up 35 points or more for just the second time this season.

The Bulldogs' season ended this weekend, but their success earlier in the year suggests that East Knox can come back in 2022 reinvigorated to play further into the postseason.

Newark Catholic will move on to play No. 3 Shadyside for a chance to reach the Division VII Final Four.
