Meyer to fight for Ohio football

CANTON, Ohio -- Ohio State University football coach Urban Meyer is one proud Ohioan.

And as such, the Ashtabula native is uniting as many coaches as he can, including Mike Pettine of the Cleveland Browns, in order to help high school coaches around the state get an opportunity to spend more time mentoring their athletes during the offseason.

"Our guys are so limited to what they're allowed to do," Meyer told the Pro Football Hall of Fame Luncheon Club in Canton Monday. "A high school coach in Ohio is allowed to work with only four guys at a time. Think about that. You go down to Texas and there's 85 guys out there, working back and forth.

"It's added a little stronger element now because it's not your son playing high school football in the state of Ohio. It's mine. I want my guy coached. I want my guy coached by guys like (Canton McKinley coach) Thom McDaniels. I don't want to have to go drive to some other venue.

"When I start talking about tradition, football is here. Football is Ohio. Ohio is football."

According to Meyer, those who care about high school football "need to keep preaching the gospel" of the sport, especially those in Ohio.

"I'm here to tell you, Ohio football is different," Meyer said. "We have to keep pushing that envelope. We can't let people take stuff from our high school coaches. You need to know the Cleveland Browns' head coach, the coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes and the coaches on the state board of directors are going to get together soon and say, 'Give our guys access. Give them access.'

"I'm not going in there to talk. I'm going in there as a parent because my son will be coached. He's going to get coached, but I don't want to send him somewhere else to get coached. In Ohio, he deserves to be coached by Ohio high school coaches."

Didn't know where exactly to put this, as it doesn't fully have to do with recruiting, but it kind of does. This is a scenario almost out of a movie, and I don't think I could explain it well enough. But this OHSAA ruling could have some interesting implications on several Buckeye targets and where they'll be playing their next seasons(Tavon Thomas and JoJo Scates)

Ohio State Championships this weekend.

One item of note - there will be no public parking at the stadium. Attendees are being asked to park at the Fairgrounds and ride the shuttle to the stadium. What could possibly go wrong here?

My predictions (and the tournaments, as always, have been awesome this year)

D1 - Pickerington Central....I'm surprised Mentor has gotten here, I've seen them this year and they haven't been as good as past years, but overall this is the weakest D1 year in awhile
D2 - Winton Woods....it's always them or La Salle to me
D3 - Trotwood......for no other reason than I don't know much about Tri-Valley other than they've beasted so far to get here
D4 - Steubenville....I hate to pick them, but it usually works. Probably the 1st or 2nd game I'd want to see though, should be fun and two historic programs.
D5 - Wheelersburg.....thought it's been their year since Day 1, a force to be reckoned with
D6 - Kirtland.....the best matchup IMO, can't go wrong either way
D7 - Cuyahoga Heights....a local pick, nothing else. Minster is great though.

Akron Archbishop Hoban dominated Winton Woods, 42-14

Name to remember....Shane Hamm. Freshman QB for Hoban, he's going to be a D1 kid

Hoban has now won 3 straight state titles, AND is one of the few to do that in 2 different divisions (they moved up this year to DII after winning the last 2 in DIII)

Wheelersburg completes the perfect season, gets to 15-0 with a 21-14 win over Eastwood

Game went to OT - great battle....Wheelersburg got the ball first and on 4th and 1 on the 11 they went for it and ran it in, then they forced a fumble to seal the victory.

Pickerington took a 21-14 lead midway thru the 2nd in the D1 title game
