Breaking down the Harbin ratings - Week 7, Divisions 2 & 4

Division II

Winton Woods stands atop region 8 with a 5-2 record, 4 of those 5 victories coming against 5 win clubs, which beefs up their 2nd level points enough to leapfrog undefeated Dayton Carroll. They should probably win their next two games before facing Glen Este in the season finale. Harrison still controls their own destiny; however, that destiny includes Glen Este and Anderson. They may have to win at least one of those games to guarantee themselves a playoff berth.

Edgewood has only two games remaining, both of which are winable, so they are probably set for the postseason. Turpin would seem to be in good shape, as they will likely run the table to finish at 9-1, but may have to sweat it out considering that 5 of those will come against 1 or 2 win teams.

Western Brown and Kings both shot themselves in the foot with losses last week; both teams have weak schedules; both teams will need outside help even if they win out, as Trotwood Madison and Dunbar are probably better positioned for the stretch run. Ross has an outside shot if they run the table, the middle game of which is against Talawanda, who needs a near miracle to make the postseason.

Division IV

Surprising Deer Park probably needs only to split its next two games against Indian Hill and Wyoming to lock up their first playoff berth in quite some time. North College Hill is also 6-1, but when your biggest win is over CHCA, you shouldn't get too comfortable. They need to win out, with only New Miami looking to pose even a moderate threat.

Finneytown looked great before stumbling the past two weeks. Winning out may not be too difficult; hoping that Reading and Shroder Padeia keep doing so is another matter. Wyoming saved their season by beating Finneytown last week, but with a schedule of Reading, Deer Park, and Goshen ahead, it's hard to see them making the playoffs without at least two wins. Mariemont needs to beat Finneytown this week to have any chance at the playoffs.
