Curt and Effie open this week's Inside the Lines with their thoughts on the OHSAA ruling that knocked Cleveland Glenville out of the playoffs. They also preview Week 3 of the postseason, with five area teams — Hillsdale, Danville, Clear Fork, Shelby and Ontario — still alive and preparing for Friday night showdowns. 

Then, Ontario junior defensive end Maddix Smith joins the show to talk about his development as a pass rusher, handling double teams and the moves that have made him a force on the Warriors' defensive line.

Smith takes us through his journey from playing varsity as a freshman to becoming a key part of Ontario's talented junior class. He reflects on big games against Lexington, Clear Fork and rival Shelby before taking us inside the Warriors' thrilling 22-19 playoff comeback against Tiffin Columbian, where Ontario rallied from a 19-7 third-quarter deficit. 

Looking ahead, Smith discusses preparing for St. Marys Memorial's run-heavy offense, the importance of home-field advantage and what it will take to keep Ontario's postseason run alive. Plus, we talk about his future in football and track before wrapping up with the two-minute drill and some Ontario football trivia.
