Coach Chuck Kyle's Wildcats will enter Saturday night's OHSAA Division I, Region 1 first-round playoff game at Canton McKinley (Fawcett Stadium) as the Associated Press' 10th-ranked big school program in Ohio for 2013. The McKinley Bulldogs finished eighth in Division I. Saturday's kickoff will be 7 PM and the corner will preview the 17th match up between the 'Cats and the Bulldogs on Tuesday night.

Saint Ignatius leads its all-time football series with McKinley, 10-6, including 10-4 under Coach Kyle '69.

Here is the AP's final poll for 2013 with the first-place votes in parenthesis. Just a note of interest, the Wildcats will enter the playoffs having defeated the AP's third-ranked St. Edward and sixth-ranked Mentor, giving both of those programs their only setback in the regular season.
