The Princeton Tigers punched their ticket into the second-round of the Class 3A playoffs with Friday’s 40-8 win over Oregon.

Now they know when and where that ticket will take them.

The No. 4 seeded Tigers will travel to Chicago for a second-round matchup with No. 14 Chicago King (7-3). The game time was finalized Sunday afternoon for 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9 at Gately Stadium, King’s home field, located at 810 E 103rd St. in Chicago.

The Jaguars beat No. 5 Chicago Marshall on Saturday, also by a 40-8 final.

King has qualified for the playoffs three out of the last four seasons, their last win coming in 2015. They now have a 4-13 playoff record.

Princeton seeks its fifth straight quarterfinals appearance.
