The Celtics (21-3-2) will try for a repeat performance when they host Keystone Heights (13-5) tonight at 7 in the Region 3A-2 semifinals.

This will be the third meeting for Trinity Catholic and Keystone Heights in the regional playoffs. A year ago, the Celtics knocked off the Indians 6-0 in Clay County at this same level, which helped them snap a three-game skid in the regional semifinals.

The Indians have never advanced past the regional semifinals and are 0-2 at this level.

Trinity Catholic, meanwhile, has won three of its last four regional playoff games and picked up a 7-0 shutout of Pierson Taylor last Thursday for its second straight opening-round win over the Wildcats.

The shutout was the sixth all-time for the Celtics in the postseason and they will try to improve on a 9-0 scoring edge in the playoffs against Keystone Heights, a 2-1 winner over Umatilla in the opening round.

The winner faces either Winter Park Trinity Prep (15-5-1) or Orlando Lake Highland Prep (16-3-3) in the regional finals on Friday at 7 p.m.
