High School Ohio High School Football General Discussion

Does the Columbus City League not play football anymore? Even in my day, Whetstone got some look-sees by the big boys, although cannot remember any players going big. Eastmoor and Linden McKinley had some players, and even the outliers (Gahanna Lincoln) put some players in the MAC. Can anyone clear away the fog? Have seen a couple from Worthington, and Dublin join the Buckeyes, but.....Thanks for letting an expat Ohioan know.

In fact, Athens is 9-0 in D3 and is currently OUT of the playoffs as the #13 seed and don't even control their own destiny. Diabolical!

Athens loses, and still moves up to 11th. Real life is stranger then fiction sometimes.

The Columbus City League was way way wayyyyyyy down for a long time. Most of the schools can barely field teams sometimes post-COVID.

The league as a whole isn't as bad this year, but the top end talent is not really there anymore. Now the powers are the 4 Olentangys, both Pickeringtons, Teays Valley in Ashville, Big Walnut, Licking Valley out east of Newark, etc. And, of course, the CCL schools like Watterson and DeSales.

More or less the suburbs took over sometime around the year 2000 and it's not been the same for the city league. OCC is where it's at.

Eastmoor put a few good players in the Shoe. The two time heisman winner for one.
