The Tigers currently find themselves ranked 15th in the Division IV Associated Press Statewide Poll which came out earlier this week. They are situated between Columbus Bishop Hartley and Streetsboro in that list.
Colonel Crawford is also number 15 (in Division V) and hosts 2-2 Seneca East. The Eagles occupy a poll position between Columbia Station Columbia and Marion Elgin.
Northmor may have the tallest mountain to climb on Friday, as they travel to Danville to face 4-0 Danville, ranked 8th in Ohio in Division VII.
