On the other side of the bracket is No. 6 King Philip Regional taking-on No. 8 Milford. It will be a rematch of the October 15th game won by KPR 17-14.
In the Division 1 semifinals, No. 2 Central Catholic will square-off with No. 4 St. John’s Prep. Back on September 18, SJP beat Central 49-14. After a 5-0 start, the Eagles have won four of six with an upset loss to St. John’s (Shrewsbury).
In the other D1 semifinal, No. 3 Springfield Central plays No. 5 Franklin. Central advanced to the semis by beating No. 7 Xaverian Brothers 40-15.
