Reeltown opened the playoffs with two consecutive opponents it had familiarity with in Highland Home and Cottonwood — winning both. However, this week presents Reeltown with a new challenge: a team it has never played before, Providence Christian.

The Eagles come into this game with a 9-3 record, topping Class 2A Region 4 foe Loachapoka 17-14 last Friday. And to compare the shared match-up head-to-head, the Rebels also have a win over the Indians, 73-49, in the fifth game of their season. They also both share a win over Cottonwood — again a more lopsided victory for the Rebels.
