The G.O.A.T.
Another new year, and a bit of a different year with the top 4 seeds in each region receiving a bye in the opening round.


OHSAA football tournament hub is linked above with links for tickets in there

Link will be updated tomorrow as OHSAA releases the bracket and final points, games will open on Halloween. For a nearly perfect predictor of rankings you can always use https://www.joeeitel.com/hsfoot/ until then.

Plenty of people at our playoff game on Friday - had to drive through multiple communities trick or treat on the way to the game. Both bands dressed up in costumes, overall fun atmosphere.

Looking at scores, i didn't see many surprises, but some interesting matchups this week. D4 - Norton at West Branch could be a game of the year contender, both offenses are potent and both defenses are solid - i'll be very curious to see how that plays out

D1
A couple of 6/3 upsets, but is this the year Olentangy gets their first state title? Certainly one of the favorites.
Can St. X fair better in their rematch with Moeller? Got handled earlier this year pretty easily, 30-13.

D2
Harrison with a 7/2 upset over Kings Mills
Not sure how it'll play out but an Anderson vs. Massillon title game would be pure cinema. Add Hoban and Highland into that Final 4 and that'd be the (realistic) dream. A Hoban/Walsh Jesuit regional final would be a great appetizer, one more week until that can happen though.

D3
TCC might be a 6 seed, but come playoff time it doesn't matter. Runner ups last year and they are peaking. Could we have a regional 6 seed win it all? Not betting against it.

D4
Looking like we are a week away from a Glenville/Perry regional final, should be a blast.
Taft vs Indian Hill next week...what a semi...11-0 vs. 11-0...game of the week?

D5
Lady Liberty battle of undefeateds next week....11-0 Liberty Center vs. 12-0 Liberty-Benton
And finally....***UPSET REGION, UPSET REGION***....we get our first #1 seed down! Williamsburg loses to North Union, 47-14!
Not to be outdone, #11 Mariemont wins their second straight road playoff game, this time smoking Miami East 30-0. The world wants, and needs, an 11 vs 8 regional final!

D6
Garaway with a 7/2 upset over Crestview, 34-0. Get smoked Rebels.
They now will face a 6 seed in Dalton as they upset Columbia.
**UPSET ALERT** Carey as a 9 seed takes down #1 Castalia Margaretta, 35-7!
Coldwater vs Tri-Village next week, should be a blast.

D7
Another 7/2 upset with East Canton winning by 20 over Fairport
And another....Pandora-Gilboa with a 63-42 win over #2 North Baltimore. That's a lot of points.
Danville, an 11 seed, gets another dominant win, this time over Fisher Catholic. They won on the road 54-0 last week, and last night on the road 59-8. Blue Devils play up almost all year so they are ready this time of year.
12/4 'upset' with Fort Recovery winning 38-6 over formerly unbeaten Eastern.
11/3 upset with Cedarville over Country Day, 49-21.

Any idea how good Wayne is? It looks like they won on the road at Findlay 34-10, and Buckeye commit Jamier Brown had at least 1 TD. I'm guessing that they aren't favored to go far, but with talent like Brown they will never not have a chance.

Haven't lived in Ohio in 15 years, so I can't always keep up with this stuff, but I do check in from time to time as a Moeller grad. When did Massillon move to D2? Or is there more than 1 Massillon being reference? I remember them being one of the top D1 teams.

I had to Google that since it's been awhile...looks like 2019? It is still odd seeing them there, no doubt. They'd certainly compete for a D1 title.

Defense is a major liability for Wayne....it'll stop them from being a serious threat, but they may be able to get another week in as the Troy Trojans (love that name) don't appear to be a major offensive threat.
