<p>The Portage Trail Conference Metro Division has come down to a showdown with Ravenna at Field, both with records of 6-2 overall and 5-0 in the division at 7 Friday night.</p>
<p>The other big element of this contest is playoff position. The Field Falcons  is third in the Division III, Region 9 controlling their own destiny according to joeeitel.com website behind Cardinal Mooney and Parma Padua.</p>
<p>Now a little irony. Keeping in mind the top eight teams in each region qualify for the post season, here is an example of the flukes of the system. Though the Ravens defeated Kent Roosevelt 28-14 two weeks ago, Ravenna is the No. 11 in the region and the Rough Riders are No. 7.  </p>
<p>The simple explanation is that Kent has beaten teams with better records. So Ravenna desperately needs this win to have a shot at post season. </p>
<p>As for the theme off the game, it is simply this from each team&#8217;s offense &#8211; <em>defense, try and stop us</em>. Both teams have dynamic offenses that can score, mostly from their running games.</p>
<p>Ravenna runs the spread using running backs <strong>D. J. Jones</strong> well &#8211; 1, 179 yards, 8.2 per carry and 11 touchdowns and third best rusher in terms of yardage in <em>Beacon Journal</em> area  - as well as <strong>Stephen Wilmington</strong> &#8211; 584 yards, 7.4 yards per carry and 10 TDs. Quarterback Brandon Holt doesn&#8217;t run often  but frankly he is a great ball-handler and his fakes and execution make him invaluable.</p>
<p>There is no secret that the Falcons are built on the legs of one of the best, if not the best, runner in school history in junior running back <strong>Patrick Boggs</strong>, who leads the area with 1,506 yards and 19 touchdowns with a 7.6 yards per carry average. And do not underestimate the avility of quarterback <strong>Jay Wilson</strong>.</p>

<p>Division I, Region II</p>
<p><strong>Massillon</strong>, <strong>Twinsburg </strong>and <strong>Canton McKinley</strong> currently have a hold on the playoffs with two games left to go.</p>
<p><strong>Medina</strong> and <strong>Perry</strong> sit just outside at numbers nine and 10 respectively.</p>
<p>Division II, Region V</p>
<p><strong>Copley</strong>, <strong>Tallmadge </strong>and <strong>Kent Roosevelt</strong> have spots in the top eight slots with a showdown between Copley and Tallmadge looming Friday at Copley.</p>
<p><strong>Walsh Jesuit</strong> is on the outside looking in at the ninth spot as of right now.</p>
<p>Division II, Region VII</p>
<p><strong>Lake </strong>currently has a hold on the No. 4 position for the playoffs, but controls their own destiny.</p>
<p>Division III, Region IX</p>
<p><strong>Field</strong> (6-2) faces 6-2 <strong>Ravenna</strong> this Friday in a big match up for computer points.</p>
<p><strong>Buchtel&#8217;s </strong>situation is simple:  they have a big game against 7-1 <strong>Toledo Central Catholic</strong> coming up this Friday.  Beat them and there is a substantial amount of computer points to be won. </p>
<p><strong>St. Vincent-St. Mary</strong> remains in line for the playoffs at the No. 6 spot, but you have to suspect that they must win out against University School and Youngstown Ursuline to remain in their current position.</p>
<p>Division IV, Region 13</p>
<p>Undefeated <strong>Manchester </strong>currently has a lock on a playoff spot. <strong>Canton Central Catholic</strong>, currently at No. 10 has a shot of getting in.</p>
<p>Division VI, Region 21</p>
<p>According to this <a href="http://www.joeeitel.com/hsfoot/2010region_21.html">post</a>, <strong>Mogadore </strong>has already clinched a first round playoff home game. They sit atop computer rankings in this region.</p>

<p>This is not a glamorous game on paper in terms of the Portage Trail Conference Metro Division.</p>
<p>However, this game means a lot to the Rough Riders (5-2, 2-2). Long-time coach <strong>John Nemec</strong> seeks his 200th career victory.</p>
<p>Despite being 5-2, the Rough Riders need to win out to have a chance of reaching the post season playoffs and right now in the ninth spot in Division II, Region 5. Kent is one spot out of the playoffs, with Walsh Jesuit one spot ahead and ironically Ravenna, who just defeated the Rough Rider 28-14 a week ago, one spot behind them inn 10th, Division II is brutal wsih so mamy good teams fighing for the precious eight slots.</p>
<p>Kent quarterback <strong>Evan Shimensky</strong> ran well, but struggled mightily trying to pass in the second half against the Ravens. He needs to rebound and frankly the Rough Riders need to get the ball to <strong>Shakeel Howard</strong> more often than he did against the Ravens. </p>
<p>The Spartans (2-5, 1-3) have been snake-bitten at times. Two weeks ago, the Spartans lost 35-34 on a missed extra point to division co-leader Field. Their defense needs to step up in this game, especially if Springfield want to finish at .500 for the season overall.</p>
<p><strong>Dillon Mathews </strong>is an explosive rnning back. The junior had a 90-yard run at Field and when he is in the open field you can count on him scoring a touchdown &#8211; one of the best in the area, period.</p>

<p>Div. I, Region 2</p>
<p><strong>Massillon, Canton McKinley</strong> and <strong>Perry</strong> currently reside in the elite eight with Medina at No. 9</p>
<p>Div. II, Region 5</p>
<p><strong>Copley</strong> and <strong>Tallmadge </strong>continue to hold spots, the big mover is <strong>Walsh Jesuit</strong> who make it in at No. 8 primarily because of their win over <strong>St. Vincent-St. Mary</strong>.  <strong>Kent Roosevelt</strong> and <strong>Ravenna</strong> still have shots.</p>
<p>Div. III, Region 9</p>
<p><strong>Field, St. V-M, Buchtel</strong> are in the top eight.  It&#8217;s apparent the Irish&#8217;s loss to Walsh didn&#8217;t hurt them too much.  <strong>Southeast</strong> and <strong>Streetsboro</strong> still have a shot.</p>
<p>Div. IV, Region 13</p>
<p><strong>Manchester</strong> and <strong>Canton Central Catholic</strong> would be in if the season ended today.</p>
<p>Div. VI, Region 21</p>
<p><strong>Mogadore</strong> comes in at the top spot</p>
