The Allen Eagles open the Class 6A Division I playoffs at home at Eagle Stadium on Thursday, Nov. 12, at 7 p.m. against Hebron, a .500 team. The two programs last met in the 2021 bi-district round, which Allen won 59-30, according to HS Football Nation's playoff guide.

This is the one with the most at stake. The Brownsburg Bulldogs beat Ben Davis 42-7 in their sectional final for a 30th straight win, according to 107.5 The Fan, and now go on the road for the IHSAA Class 6A regional against a 9-2 Lawrence North team. The winner plays in the semistate on Nov. 20. Brownsburg has a BallerTube school page.
