The Road to Canton continues this week for Division V, VI and VII teams with the regional semifinals being held across Ohio.

This is the round where easier games end. In order to advance, teams have to prove they can compete with other good teams that have all earned the right to be one win from the regional final.

A collection of D-V hopefuls from different areas faceoff. MAC rematches highlight the D-VI and D-VII games.

Here’s a look at the games in Region 18, 20, 24 and 28 taking place Friday, Nov. 13.

(All games will be played at 7 p.m. unless noted. The winners of each game for each region would next play one another, unless otherwise noted.)

Division V

Region 18

No. 10 Coldwater (8-4) at No. 3 Pemberville Eastwood (10-1)

Coldwater cruised past Wooster Triway 35-13. The win gives the Cavaliers multiple playoff victories in 27 of its 32 all-time playoff appearances. Coldwater forced three interceptions and didn’t allow a point after halftime.

Eastwood defeated Port Clinton 41-25. Its only loss was against unbeaten and D-VI No. 1 Liberty Center 41-14 on Aug. 28. Eastwood has completed better than 75 percent of its 24.6 attempts per game average and has 31 passing touchdowns.

Coldwater won a 2013 D-V playoff game between the two teams 42-16.

The winner plays either No. 1 LaGrange Keystone or No. 4 Garrettsville Garfield.

Region 20

No. 4 Waynesville (9-2) at No. 1 Graham (10-1)

Waynesville is playing as well as any team left after cruising past Preble Shawnee 35-13. John Baker emerged as a featured back the last two games, carrying for a season-best 17 attempts and 95 yards against the Arrows.

Graham mauled Arcanum 53-20 to the tune of eight rushing touchdowns. Danny and Jakob Hoke combined for 312 rushing yards. The Falcons are seeking their first regional final appearance since 1990.

This is the first known meeting between the schools.

No. 6 Fenwick (7-5) at No. 2 Williamsburg (10-1), 8 p.m. kickoff

Fenwick hit a big play early and never looked back in taking down a dominant Miami East defense 34-0 a week ago. McCaffrey Halcomb continues playing a key role in the offense’s success with three more TD passes against the Vikings, and 13 of his 18 this season coming in wins.

Williamsburg did not complete a pass in its 61-20 quarterfinal win over Greenon. Williamsburg ran for 488 yards and scored touchdowns on nine of its 32 carries as a team. This is the program’s first-ever appearance in the regional semifinal round.

This is the first known meeting between the schools.

Division VI

Region 24

No. 12 Versailles (8-4) at No. 9 St. Henry (9-3)

The two teams played on Sept. 4. St. Henry won 34-21.

After sneaking into the playoffs, Versailles has won consecutive road playoff games. The Tigers have found an offensive spark as of late in averaging close to 37 points over the last five games after not reaching 30 in any of its first seven contests.

The Redskins have eclipsed 40 points in four of its past five games. St. Henry forced five turnovers against previously unbeaten Tri-Village and scored 35 points in the first quarter of last week’s win.

This will be the second time the programs have met in the playoffs. St. Henry won 34-21 in the 1999 D-V playoffs.

No. 6 Mechanicsburg (10-2) at No. 2 Deer Park (10-1)

Mechanicsburg pulled out a comeback 33-14 win at Zane Trace. Matthew Davis carried Mechanicsburg in crunch time with four TD runs to pull away after trailing by seven early in the third quarter.

Deer Park ran for nearly 12 yards per carry in a 44-10 win against Covington. Deer Park is in the midst of one of its best-ever seasons, winning at least nine games for the first time since 1982 and reaching 10 for just the second time, and captured a share of its first-ever Cincinnati Hills League title. Morgan Brown led the CHL in rushing this season.

The only previous meeting came in the 2020 playoffs when Mechanicsburg won 34-0.

Division VII

Region 28

No. 4 Minster (8-3) at No. 1 Marion Local (11-0)

The two teams played on Oct. 16. Marion Local won 28-7.

Marion Local has shut out its past two opponents. The Flyers’ last six wins have all been against fellow playoff teams. They’ve allowed a total of 21 points in those victories.

The first game against Marion Local is the only time Minster has failed to score double-digits in a game this season. Minster is coming off a season-best 49 points against Fort Recovery, improving by 28 from the first time they played the Indians.

This will be the 60th meeting between the two programs in the playoff era. Marion Local is 44-15 in that stretch and has won the past nine meetings.

No. 7 New Bremen (7-5) at No. 3 Riverside (9-2)

New Bremen took down high-powered Ansonia 27-12 in the quarterfinals. The Cardinals have won four straight and have found the magic number. New Bremen has won each time it has reached 27 points in a game this season, and has come out on the other end each time it comes up short of the number.

Riverside is coming off a 49-13 win over Cincinnati Country Day. Brody Orsborne went 5-for-8 for a season-high 130 yards. The Pirates as a team averaged 10.8 yards per carry and scored 14 points in each of the first three quarters.

The only meeting since 1990 came in the 2022 D-VII playoffs, a 39-8 win for New Bremen.
