CIRCLEVILLE, OH — The Circleville Tigers are roaring into the postseason, riding an 8–3 record and fresh off a commanding 31–14 home playoff victory over Philo. The win propels the Tigers into a Division IV Region 15 quarterfinal showdown against the undefeated and defending state champion Indian Valley Braves on Friday, Nov. 7, at 7 p.m. in Gnadenhutten.

Indian Valley enters the matchup as the No. 2 seed and received a first-round bye under OHSAA’s updated playoff format. The Braves boast standout running back Grady Kinsey, who is on the cusp of Ohio’s all-time rushing touchdown record and currently ranks fifth in career rushing yards. Kinsey’s presence makes Indian Valley a formidable opponent.
