Week 10 Licking County football games to watch, plus picks

Lancaster at Newark Both the Wildcats (3-6. 1-5) and visiting Golden Gales (2-7, 2-4) will fall short of qualifying for the Division I playoffs, but the Ohio Capital Conference-Buckeye Division rivalry does not lack for star power. Seniors Roy Price Jr. and Payton Knott bookend an aggressive Newark front that will look to contain Lancaster tailback Jahmeir Gordon. Nobody has rushed for more yards than Kolton Peterson in the history of Newark. He will look to add a few more as the Wildcats attempt to win their third consecutive in the series, but Lancaster linebacker Jackson Reynolds is one of the best in central Ohio. Utica at Newark Catholic Utica (3-6, 2-2) and the host Green Wave (6-3, 2-2) wrap up Licking County League-Cardinal Division play at White Field, and the game will have plenty of playoff implications riding on it. Utica will know by kickoff if a win would earn a Division V, Region 19 playoff berth, but either way it is looking for a fourth consecutive victory against NC. The Green Wave also will know their possibilities. They have clinched a playoff spot in Division VI, Region 23, but they might need to win to ensure another home
