Glad to see CVCA finally up there.

Amanda-Clearcreek and Ironton almost certainly will end up 1 and 2, respectively, in Region 15. That means, of course, that the two couldn't meet before week 13. The hype has already begun about this potential matchup between two teams that have (if I've counted correctly) a combined 4 state titles and 9 runner-ups; plus 43 playoff appearances.

A-C looks to be a clear favorite to make it that far; but I'm in no way assuming anything for Ironton until and unless it actually happens. Over the past 10 or so seasons, Ironton has on several occasions managed to underachieve in the playoffs.
