In this episode of Inside the Lines, Curt Conrad and Effie James kick things off discussing the first round of the 2025 OHSAA football playoffs before welcoming Lexington senior Seven Allen.
Allen reflects on his introduction to football as a freshman at Madison to becoming a standout senior on a star-studded Lexington squad. He talks about his transition to Lexington and the opportunity to play with childhood friends.

Allen also touches on the growth of he and his Lex teammates over the past three years, both physically and mentally, as well as the ability to block out the outside noise.

As Lexington heads into the playoffs after a first round bye, Allen shares what it will take to overcome a talented Toledo Central Catholic team -- which knocked the Minutemen out of the postseason last year.

This episode is brought to you by Graham Auto Mall. 

Intro and outro music is "Story of the Sunflower Samurai" by local artist Vaundoom.
