FCA First Playoff Game

It has just been released: FCA plays its first playoff game in high school football on Friday night, November 5, at 7:30 pm at White Field in Newark, Ohio. The opponent is Newark Catholic, a frequent competitor in the OHSAA high school football playoffs.  I can't get a read on this game, I think the coaching staff at FCA feels comfortable in playing Newark Catholic, it certainly is closer in travel time (45 minute drive, tops) compared to the two hour drive to the shores of the Ohio River, just outside Wheeling.  Both teams defeated Fisher Catholic this season, by similar scores.  I don't know if you can judge anything by that, though, seeing as Fisher finished 1-9.
