McLouth played Central Heights on the road Tuesday in the regular-season finale after The Mirror’s print deadline.

The Bulldogs will be the No. 1 seed in the Mission Valley Regional when the Class 2-1A postseason begins. Other teams in the regional are Oskaloosa (17-5), Mission Valley (16-6), Rossville (10-10), Valley Falls (11-12), Pleasant Ridge (8-16), Lyndon (6-12) and Jefferson County North (6-16).
