NILES — The Michigan High School Athletic Association has announced the 2022 football playoff pairings for 11-man football.

Edwardsburg is the lone school in the Leader Publications coverage area that will be hosting an opening round game. The Eddies will host Wolverine Conference for Paw Paw in Division 4, Region 2.

Edwardsburg (8-1) defeated the Red Wolves 58-36 in their league contest.

Niles, which is qualifying for the postseason for only the second time since 2003, will travel to Three Rivers to face the Wildcats, who like the Vikings, are members of the Wolverine Conference. Three Rivers (5-4) defeated Niles (5-4) 27-21 in Week 4 of the regular season.

A pair of the newly-formed Lakeland Conference qualified for the postseason. Both teams will also be on the road for the opening weekend.

Buchanan, champion of the Lakeland, will travel to Constantine to face the perennial state powerhouse. The Falcons (8-1) defeated the Bucks (8-1) in their last meeting — the Division 6 District championship game, 55-28.

Brandywine, under the direction of first-year Coach Justin Kinzie, advance to the postseason for the second straight year with a 4-5 record. The Bobcats travel to Lawton (7-2) to face the Division 7 state runner up.

The MHSAA will announce kickoff times for the opening round Monday afternoon.
