The IHSA released its postseason brackets for high school football on Saturday night, and three local squads now know their week 10 opponents.

Two of the three local football teams ended their regular seasons Friday night with a loss, however.

Dupo (8-1) won 69-24 at Wood River on Friday, setting up for a strong playoff seeding. The Tigers received the No. 6 seed in the Class 1A playoffs and will host Salt Fork at 1 p.m. Saturday. 

In Friday’s blowout victory, Dupo’s scintillating senior quarterback Deegan Prater was 14-for-18 passing for 193 yards and two touchdown passes. He also ran for 49 yards.

Luke Ellis ran for 97 yards on nine carries, scoring two TDs.

Tramar Bean added 63 yards rushing and a TD.

Brady Portell was the top receiver for the Tigers with five catches for 73 yards.

On defense, Dupo had interceptions from Prater and Ethan Nelson in addition to fumble recoveries by Brrayden Esterlein and Thinh Staggs.

Prater has thrown 26 TD passes so far this season and rushed for 10 more. He’ll look to reach the endzone multiple times in his team’s opening playoff contest at home this Saturday.

In Class 4A, both Columbia and Waterloo are once again playoff participants. 

Waterloo (6-3) closed out its regular season with a 27-6 defeat up north at fellow 4A team Rochelle. 

Senior running back Derez Sayles rushed for 70 yards and caught a touchdown pass for the Bulldogs. Owen Niebruegge added 36 yards on the ground and 46 yards receiving.

Waterloo was given a No. 11 seed in the Class 4A playoffs and will travel to Mt. Zion, located near Decatur, at 7 p.m. Friday. 

The keys for the Bulldogs will be the play of Sayles and Niebruegge. Sayles has rushed for 1,048 yards (6.6 yards per carry) this fall with 18 TDs. Niebruegge is just shy of 1,000 total yards from scrimmage with nine scores.

Columbia (6-3) ended its regular season with a 49-21 loss Friday at Jerseyville. 

Kameron Steele caught a pair of TD passes from quarterback Xavier Voegele in the defeat, with Jackson Lawal busting off a 94-yard kickoff return TD for the Eagles. 

Columbia received a No. 13 seed in the 4A playoffs and will travel to Cahokia Conference rival Breese Central at 2 p.m. Saturday.

The Eagles lost to Breese Central just two weeks ago, 41-6.

Senior running back Jase Nelson has rushed for 881 yards (6.2 yards per carry) this fall, scoring seven TDs for Columbia on the ground.

Voegele has thrown for 946 yards and 14 TDs.

Cooper Weik is the defensive leader for Columbia with 68 total tackles on the season.
