The Miami Trace Panthers football team is in the playoffs once again.

Miami Trace finished the regular season with a record of 7-3.

That earned the Panthers the No. 9 seed in Region 12, Division III.

The Panthers will travel to St. Mary’s, Ohio to take on the Memorial Roughriders on Friday for a 7 p.m. game.

St. Mary’s is a public high school in Auglaize County. The county seat of Auglaize is Wapakoneta.

The Roughriders went 8-2 in the regular season.

Their two losses were to Defiance, 14-10 and then to Wapakoneta, 28-14.

Defiance went 6-4 and Wapakoneta finished 10-0.

The winner of the St. Mary’s – Miami Trace game will very likely have the challenge of playing the No. 1 seed in Region 12, Tippecanoe (10-0) on Nov. 8.
