BC, McEachern Playoff Preview

Benedictine (5-5) at McEachern (9-1)

- McEachern is 27-23 all-time in the playoffs. Only one of those victories has come since the 2005 season.

- McEachern has stumbled early in the playoffs the past two seasons despite good records. In 2009, the Indians were 10-0 and ranked No. 6 and lost to Brookwood 20-10 in the first round. In 2010, they were 10-1 and ranked No. 4 and lost to Valdosta 31-28 in the second round. This year, they are ranked No. 6.

- Other than Camden County, schools from Region 3-AAAAA (of which Benedictine is a member and the No. 3 seed) have never won a playoff game on the road. They are 0-22.

- Benedictine, a Savannah military school, is seeking its first playoff victory since 1996, an 11-10 overtime win over Northside of Warner Robins. Benedictine has lost five straight since then.

- This will be the first time these schools have met in football.
