Ohio high school football playoff picks: who wins this week?

Dezmin Lyburtus highlights Bellefontaine High School
Watch the senior quarterback and AOW Nominee account for eight touchdowns in a playoff win over Granville.

Who wins in Week 12? For the past seven years I've picked Ohio high school postseason games against Drew Pasteur's Fantastic 50 formula. This season we add Need Freeman's CalPreps picks into the fold again as well. Last week everyone did well. CalPreps and I both got 92 games right, while the Fantastic 50 predicted 91 correct outcomes. While no one went 16-0 in a region, each of us had a 15-1 run. I went 15-1 in D-IV, while the Fan50 and CalPreps went 15-1 in D-VI. Conversely, we all had an 11-5 region too (CalPreps and I in D-V and the Fan50 in D-III).

Below is a comprehensive look at who each of us thinks wins Friday's second round games...
