lists 19 area teams as having clinched playoff spots through eight weeks and 25 more controlled their own destiny, meaning they had to win out to ensure playing in Week 11.
The next two games against Hilliard Darby and Olentangy Berlin will be stiff tests, but wasn’t last week? Given the relative lack of juggernauts in the region, Thomas is not an opponent teams will want to see.If an ugly 42-15 loss at Westerville Central on Sept. 23 called the Panthers’ 4-1 start into question, a thundering comeback at Grove City once again showed North will assert itself as a top contender in Region 3.

Garrett Carey caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Nathan Huss with 28.2 seconds left, and Tanner Domyanich’s two-point conversion run was the game-winner.
