The win is the Mikes’ first playoff victory since 2002, snapping a 12-game playoff losing streak. It’s the first playoff win for a Greene County school since 2006, when Jefferson-Morgan defeated Duquesne.

The Mikes will take on No. 2-seeded Clairton next Friday in the quarterfinals. 

On No. 7-seeded Carmichaels’ first drive, Jacob Lowry ran for a 2-yard touchdown to put the Mikes on the board first.

Mundell then ran for touchdowns of 61 and 56 yards in the second quarter to put Carmichaels (8-2) ahead 20-0 heading into halftime. The senior running back eclipsed 1,000 yards on the season in the win.

Lowry scored again in the third quarter, this time from 8 yards out. 

No. 10-seeded Western Beaver (6-5) scored its only touchdown late in the third quarter when quarterback Jeddy Young connected with Louie Hapach for a 4-yard touchdown pass. Young then hit Raven Chandler to convert the two-point conversion to make the score 28-8.

The Mikes defense recovered three fumbles, two by Lowry and one by Chad Ruse.
