Fittingly, a league championship will be on the line when Whitmer meets Perrysburg in an eagerly awaited showdown in the regular-season finale on Friday night. Perrysburg (9-0), ranked No. 5 in the Division I state poll, hosts No. 10 ranked Whitmer (8-1) in what is sure to be an electric atmosphere at Steinecker Stadium. The programs have built up a rivalry since the Panthers joined the Northern Lakes League in 2023. “Both programs have been developed into two of the top programs in northwest Ohio,” Perrysburg head coach Dirk Conner said. “It’s fun to play a team of that caliber. It has brought out the best in both teams.” For the third time in four years, the NLL Buckeye Division title will be on the line in a huge Week 10 matchup. The teams are tied at the top of the standings with 4-0 records. “We’re extremely excited,” Whitmer head coach Justin Keller said. “It’s what we’ve talked about all year.
