After four straight years without a playoff victory, No. 11 Northwest has now advanced in back-to-back postseasons as it looks to build upon its 2023 semifinal run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Intriguing second-round matchup:</strong> No. 2 Lutcher vs. No. 18 Cecilia helps headline a few great matchups in Division-II Non-Select.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Most intriguing possible quarterfinal matchup:</strong> No. 1 Franklinton vs. No. 8 Lakeshore would set up a rematch of a district game the top-seeded Demons won, 35-28.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
