The conference championships may be out of reach, but something almost as valuable remains on the line.

A home playoff game.

and enter Friday’s CVC TV Game of the Week with 15 combined victories, identical 5-1 divisional records, and an opportunity to improve their postseason positioning when the Rangers visit the Hawks for a 7 p.m. kickoff.

North (8-1) is looking to rebound from its first loss of the season and complete one of the finest regular seasons in program history. Hawken (7-2) has won four straight and is attempting to carry that momentum into the Division III playoffs.

Both teams are in the thick of the race for home-field advantage in their respective regions, and the computer points separating them from a more favorable playoff position are razor-thin.

North enters the finale ranked eighth in Division II, Region 5, while Hawken sits ninth in Division III, Region 9.

Under the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s 12- playoff format, the top four seeds in each region receive first-round byes, while seeds five through eight host first-round games.

That makes eighth place an especially valuable position.

The Rangers are trying to protect it.

The Hawks are trying to reach it.

And Friday night’s result could go a long way toward determining where each team begins its postseason journey.

Playoff positioning takes center stage

The latest OHSAA computer ratings, released Tuesday, show just how competitive both regional races have become.

North is eighth in Region 5 with an 18.0000 average, trailing seventh-place Riverside (18.1061) by just 0.1061 points.

Brecksville-Broadview Heights is ninth at 13.6167, giving the Rangers a significant advantage over the next team in the standings entering the final week.

A victory over a seven-win Hawken team would strengthen North’s case for remaining in the top eight and potentially moving up the standings.

For Hawken, the margin is even tighter.

The Hawks are ninth in Region 9 with a 17.4500 average, just 0.1033 points behind eighth-place Gilmour Academy (17.5533). Seventh-place Lake Catholic (17.6508) also remains within striking distance.

Hawken has an opportunity to earn valuable computer points against a Division II opponent with eight victories, making Friday’s matchup particularly important.

A victory would not guarantee either team a home playoff game, as results throughout both regions will influence the final standings, but each has plenty to gain.

The OHSAA will release its final computer ratings and playoff pairings Sunday, Oct. 25.

North looking to bounce back

For eight weeks, North was nearly unstoppable.

The Rangers opened the season with eight consecutive victories, including an impressive 22-21 road win over Chardon and shutouts of Valley Forge, Harvey, and Lutheran West.

Their unbeaten run ended last Friday when rival Willoughby South escaped Carter Stadium with a 21-14 victory in the , securing the Lake Division championship.

Despite the disappointment, the Rangers showed the same physical running attack that has fueled their remarkable season.

rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries, while Mattice added 83 yards on 22 attempts. contributed 82 yards and a score on just seven carries.

The three combined for 251 rushing yards against a South team that remains undefeated.

North coach praised the effort after the rivalry game.

“Proud of the effort, especially the fight all the way up until the end,” Dodd said. “They’ve kind of shown that all season long.”

The Rangers now face a different challenge.

Rather than playing to preserve an unbeaten season or win a conference championship, North must regroup and prepare for an opponent that can attack defenses in multiple ways.

Mattice has rushed for nearly 800 yards and five touchdowns this season, but he is far from the Rangers’ only weapon.

Whaley, Fenick, and give North several options in its ground attack, allowing the Rangers to distribute carries and wear down opposing defenses.

That versatility has been particularly effective behind a veteran offensive line.

Defensively, North has been just as impressive.

The Rangers have allowed only 96 points through nine games, an average of 10.7 per contest, and have held six opponents to seven points or fewer.

That defense faces one of its more difficult assignments Friday.

Hawken brings a four-game winning streak

Hawken has taken a different path to its seven victories.

The Hawks opened the season 3-2, suffering setbacks against Gilmour Academy and undefeated Perry, including a 62-0 loss to the Pirates on Sept. 18.

Rather than allowing that defeat to derail their season, the Hawks have responded with four consecutive victories.

Hawken defeated Orange, 53-21, Edgewood, 39-7, Jefferson, 34-9, and Geneva, 21-6, during its winning streak.

The Hawks have outscored those four opponents, 147-43, averaging nearly 37 points per game while allowing fewer than 11.

Quarterback has been the centerpiece of Hawken’s offensive success.

Brandt has completed approximately 125 of 205 passes for 1,557 yards and 21 touchdowns, giving the Hawks an experienced and productive presence under center.

His primary target has been , who has caught 55 passes for 682 yards and eight touchdowns.

Mallett’s ability to create explosive plays makes him a threat whenever the Hawks throw the football, but Hawken’s offense is not limited to its passing game.

has rushed for approximately 547 yards and five touchdowns while also contributing as a receiver.

and provide additional receiving options, giving Brandt several targets capable of keeping opposing defenses off balance.

The Hawks have already demonstrated their ability to win a close game against a quality opponent.

On Sept. 10, Hawken edged West Geauga, 27-26, in overtime, handing the Wolverines their only defeat of the season.

That victory remains one of the Hawks’ most significant accomplishments and provides evidence they can compete against an opponent with North’s credentials.

Strength against Strength

Friday’s matchup features two offenses capable of moving the football in different ways.

North wants to establish its running game, control possession, and rely on a defense that has been among the area’s stingiest throughout the season.

Hawken has the passing weapons to spread the field and challenge the Rangers’ defense vertically, but Murphy gives the Hawks enough balance to prevent opponents from concentrating exclusively on Brandt and Mallett.

The battle between North’s rushing attack and Hawken’s defensive front could determine which team controls the tempo.

The Rangers must avoid putting themselves in obvious passing situations, while Hawken will need to limit explosive runs and force North to sustain lengthy drives.

On the other side, North’s secondary will be tested by a quarterback who has thrown 21 touchdown passes and a receiving corps that has consistently produced big plays.

If the Rangers can pressure Brandt and limit Hawken’s opportunities downfield, their defense could provide the advantage.

If Hawken protects its quarterback and establishes a rhythm through the air, the Hawks may be able to force North into a game that favors their offensive strengths.

Turnovers and field position could be particularly important in a matchup where both teams have demonstrated the ability to win close games.

OhioVarsity.com predictor expects a thriller

The OhioVarsity.com Matchup Predictor sees little separating the teams.

The OV Sports Engine gives Hawken a 54-percent win probability, compared with 46 percent for North, and projects a 24-23 Hawken victory.

The model favors Hawken’s program strength and home-field advantage, while North holds the edge in current-season performance.

The forecast is an editorial estimate based on historical and current-season data, not a guarantee of the outcome.

It does, however, reinforce what the teams’ records and recent performances suggest.

Friday’s contest has the potential to be decided by a single possession.

A new chapter

Friday’s matchup is the first recorded meeting between North and Hawken since records began in 1972.

The schools have enjoyed plenty of success independently, and both have positioned themselves for postseason opportunities this fall.

North is looking to turn an 8-0 start into a 9-1 regular-season finish and enter the Division II playoffs with renewed momentum.

Hawken is chasing its fifth consecutive victory, an 8-2 record, and a possible first-round home game in Division III.

The Rangers and Hawks won’ settle a divisional championship Friday night.

But both have an opportunity to make a statement before the playoffs begin.

For North, it’s about responding to adversity and finishing what has already been an extraordinary regular season.

For Hawken, it’s about proving its late-season surge can carry over against one of the area’s most successful teams.

Two postseason contenders.

Two playoff regions.

And one final opportunity to improve the road ahead.

Friday’s offers both teams plenty to play for.
