There are nine teams that I would consider local to the Bloomington-Normal and surrounding central Illinois area that have advanced to this weekend’s Round Two of the IHSA Football Playoffs.

Of those nine, four remain undefeated now at 10-0: Normal Community, Bloomington Central Catholic, Downs (Tri-Valley) and Moroa (Forsyth).

Good luck to all the local teams in their Round Two Playoff Games this week!
