What to watch: After a tough conference loss against No. 23 Carmel last week, Warren Central (7-1) must bounce back in a hurry in order to get back into the win column against St. Xavier. Senior leadership will be counted on from Warren Central quarterback
Jordan Leach. The Warriors' field general accounted for 171 of his team's 213 total yards and their only touchdown in the 17-10 loss to Carmel. Conversely, last week St. Xavier (5-2) earned at least a share of the Greater Catholic League South championship with a 24-21 win over then-No. 25 La Salle (Cincinnati). Senior kicker
Myles Homan converted a chip shot field goal as time expired to earn the Bombers a fifth-straight win over La Salle.
