We’ll christen them the “Super Seven.” That’s how many area teams remain in the high school football playoffs.

Of immediate interest, Trotwood-Madison (Division II) and Alter (D-IV) lead the charge into this week’s regional finals, the third leg of a five-week postseason.

The Rams (9-3) will meet Cincinnati Winton Woods in what figures to produce plenty of fireworks at 7:30 p.m. today, Nov. 20, at Mason. History is with Trotwood; the Rams were the D-II state runners-up in 1981. But only two area D-II teams — Chaminade Julienne and Piqua — have won state titles.

Alter (12-0) is the defending D-IV state champ. And the Knights will likely get their most revealing showdown at 7 p.m. Saturday vs. Clinton-Massie (12-0) at Centerville.

Springfield Shawnee (D-III), Coldwater (D-V), St. Henry (D-V), Marion Local (D-VI) and Fort Loramie (D-VI) also hope to extend their seasons.

All the regional winners advance to next week’s state semifinals, again at neutral sites that will be announced Sunday.
