A rematch between Baldwin and Eudora highlights Tuesday’s state football playoff clashes involving Journal-World area teams.
In Class 4A, Baldwin will be making its second trip of the season to Eudora. On Oct. 11, the Bulldogs handed the Cardinals their lone loss, 33-32.
Eudora (8-1) and Baldwin (6-3) feature the top two running backs in the Frontier League. Eudora’s Andrew Pyle and Baldwin’s Micah Mason have each gained over 1,000 yards.
Also in 4A, Ottawa (5-4) will play host to Paola (5-4). Ottawa lost three of its first four outings, but the Cyclones have won five straight since, although one of those victories was forfeited for using an ineligible player.

Also, Mill Valley (8-1), which suffered its first loss on Thursday night at Eudora, will travel to Topeka Hayden (8-1).
