The results are in. It’s time to play.

The final computer ratings have been completed and the Ohio High School Athletic Association has announced playoff pairings for 192 schools that includes three local teams.

The Ironton Fighting Tigers and Chesapeake Panthers have qualified for the Division IV playoffs in Region 15 while the Symmes Valley Vikings have made the Division VI postseason in Region 23.

Ironton and Chesapeake will play on the road in the first round while Symmes Valley is at home. All three teams will play at 7 p.m. on Saturday.

The Region 15 pairings have Ironton (6-4) at Amanda-Clearcreek (8-2), Chesapeake (7-3) at top-seeded St. Clairsville (9-1), Indian Valley (7-3) at Johnstown-Monroe (10-0) and Coshocton (8-2) at Martins Ferry (8-2).

Winners advance to the regional semifinals with the Ironton-Amanda winner facing the Johnstown-Indian Valley winner and the Chesapeake-St. Clairsville winner against the Martins Ferry-Coshocton winner.

Those winners will play in the regional finals. The second and third round games are played at a neutral site.
