West Geauga at Beachwood Game Today Determines Leps Playoff Foe
2013 Marlington at Louisville Highlights
The Louisville Leopards are in the playoffs for the first time since 2009 after completing an undefeated 10-0 season. We also know that they are locked in as the third seed and will host a DIII Regional Semifinal game next week. The opponent has yet to be determined.
The West Geauga Wolverines will hit the road to take on the Beachwood Bisons today at 1 PM. Both teams have clinched playoff births, but a victory by either side would award them a home playoff game first round.
A loss by West Geauga would give them the 8th seed where they would have to travel to top-ranked St. Vincent-St. Mary next week. This would send Marlington to Louisville for a rematch of the game the Leopards won 41-20 earlier this season.
A win by West Geauga would give them the 4th seed where they would host Poland next week. This would drop everyone down a seed leaving Aurora to travel to Louisville and Marlington to travel to Hubbard.
Below are the final playoff standings for DIII, Region 7 based on both possible scenarios:
