OHSAA FOOTBALL Weekly Release - October 29, 2017 Ohio High School Athletic Association 4080 Roselea Place, Columbus, OH 43214 Office 614-267-2502 Fax 614-267-1677 www.ohsaa.org @OHSAASports Facebook.com/OHSAA Contact: Tim Stried, Director of Communications, tstried@ohsaa.org Welcome to the Playoffs The regular season ended Saturday and now 224 schools have qualified to the 2017 OHSAA football playoffs. The regionals kick off Friday night and will follow bracket format. The OHSAA will then determine state semifinal pairings, followed by the state championships Nov. 30, Dec. 1 and 2 at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton. The 2017 playoff field includes 33 undefeated teams and a total of 160 teams that won eight or more games. All teams that won nine or 10 games qualified for the playoffs. Thirty-eight qualifiers won seven games, 23 qualifiers won six games, one qualifier went 5-5 and two qualifiers went 4-6. There were 12 teams that won eight games during the regular-season that did not qualify for the playoffs. All Playoff Games on Friday Nights in 2017 New this year, all football playoff games during the first four rounds of the playoffs will be on Friday nights, unless the host facility does not have lights or there are other circumstances that require a game to be moved to Saturday afternoon. The OHSAA made the change due to declining attendance for Saturday playoff games and more playoff sites being available on Fridays compared to Saturdays, when college football night games often cause sites to have a shortage of workers. Since the playoffs began in 1972, the only year in which there weren t any playoff games on Saturdays was 1973 when there were only two rounds (semifinals and finals) and due to facility scheduling, the semifinals were all on Friday, Nov. 16, and the championship games were on Friday, Nov. 23. Pairings and Weekly Notes Packets Released Sundays by 4 p.m. The OHSAA s weekly playoff football notes packet, which includes the playoff pairings, will be posted each Sunday by 4 p.m. Regional playoff brackets, which include the contact information for media coordinators at each site, will be posted online by 3 p.m. Monday. Ticket Information Fans are encouraged to buy their playoff tickets in advance at the participating schools, which keep a percentage of the revenue. For regional playoff games, tickets are $8 presale and $9 at the gate. All-session ticket books for the state championship games will go on sale soon. A ticket option that has indoor access in the stadium club will be available. Parking passes are not sold. Access to the Pro Football Hall of Fame is included with some ticket packages. on Friday, Dec. 1, followed by three more championship games on Saturday, Dec. 2. Game times on Friday and Saturday are 10 a.m., 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. The divisional assignments will be announced after the state semifinal games. In the Beginning to Seven Divisions When the OHSAA created the football playoffs in 1972, there were three divisions (called Class A, AA and AAA) and only one playoff qualifier per region (12 total playoff qualifiers). Now in its 46th year, the postseason has expanded to seven divisions and 224 total playoff qualifiers. Expansion occurred in 1980 to five divisions and two qualifiers per region, and then again in 1985 to four qualifiers per region. In 1994, a sixth division was added, while in 1999, the number of qualifiers per region increased to eight. The playoffs expanded to seven divisions in 2013. OHSAA Football by the Numbers 719 High schools in Ohio that played football in 2017 7 Divisions for the playoffs 72 Schools in Division I 108 Average number of schools in Division II through VII 32 Playoff qualifiers per division 4 Playoff qualifiers per region 224 Total playoff qualifiers 31.2 Percentage of football playing schools that qualify About the Regionals and State Semifinals The regional playoffs follow bracket format, beginning with the Media Information Credentials for Playoff Games For the first four rounds of the playoffs, media must contact the host site s media coordinator by 3 p.m. on Tuesday. Contact information for the media coordinator for each game will be posted within the brackets at OHSAA.org. Media coordinators will work with the athletic director at the schools and follow the OHSAA s press box priority seating scale. Playoff Games On TV Spectrum will make its playoff game selections by noon on Mondays. Spectrum has exclusivity of the games it selects. Other games are available for tape-delay telecasts, which can be shown beginning at 11:30 PM the same day of the game. State Championships Schedule The state championship games return to Canton this year and the new Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. One division will be selected to play its state championship game on Thursday, Nov. 30 (7:30 p.m. kickoff). Then there will be three state championship games Twitter.com/OHSAASports Facebook.com/OHSAA

regional quarterfinals. Regional Quarterfinals (Nov. 3): During the first round, the higher seed will host the playoff game at its home stadium or the stadium of its choosing. The No. 8 seed will play at the No. 1 seed, the No. 7 seed at No. 2, etc. Regional Semifinals (Nov. 10), Regional Finals (Nov. 17) and State Semifinals (Nov. 24): Neutral sites are selected by the OHSAA. There are many factors that go into determining playoff sites, such as quality of field surface, seating capacity, quality of lighting, size of locker rooms and distance from field, press box size, parking spaces available, and a separate locker room for officials. After all those factors are taken into consideration, it must be confirmed that the site is available and willing to host a playoff game on the date needed. Championship Games Return to Canton After hosting the OHSAA state championship games in Columbus throughout the 1980s, natural grass was installed in Ohio Stadium in Columbus in the spring of 1990 and OSU asked the OHSAA to move its football state championship games to another location. The OHSAA found a home in Stark County, with Canton Fawcett Stadium and Massillon Paul Brown Tiger Stadium sharing the state championship games for 24 years until 2014 when the finals returned to the Shoe. First-Round Playoff Results by Seed Last year in the first round of the playoffs, the higher seeds (home teams) went 80-32. Five No. 8 seeds won at No. 1 seeds, including Avon Lake in Div. II (27-26 at Avon), Akron East in Div. III (50-37 at Marlington), Philo in Div. VI (42-7 at Heath), Garrettsville Garfield in Div. V (31-21 at Canfield South Range) and Columbus Bishop Ready in Div. VI (28-21 at Hannibal River). Noting the First Round Match-ups A pair of 2016 state finalists meet in the first round of the 2017 playoffs Friday night, as defending Div. VII state champion Warren John F. Kennedy travels to face defending Div. VI state runner-up Cuyahoga Heights, which dropped to Div. VII this year. Div. V state runner-up Coldwater dropped to Div. VI this year and is in the same region as defending Div. VI state champion Maria Stein Marion Local (both from the Midwest Athletic Conference, which sends five teams to the playoffs in 2017, including Anna, Minster and Delphos St. John s). Three teams from 2016 title games moved divisions, although it was up a division. Massillon Perry moved up to Div. I this year, Akron Archbishop Hoban moved up to Div. II, Columbus Bishop Hartley moved up to Div. III. Only three undefeated teams must hit the road for first-round games. Those include 9-0 Dayton Belmont in Div. II, 9-0 West Jefferson in Div. V and 10-0 Jamestown Greeneview in Div. V. Of note, West Jefferson and Greeneview are both in Region 20, which includes fourth-seeded 10-0 Bethel Tate. The West Jefferson vs. Bethel-Tate match-up is the only first-round match-up of undefeated teams. All three schools that have Olentangy in their official school name qualified for the playoffs (all are in Region 2). There are 10 schools in Ohio that have Springfield in their official school name, and none of them made the playoffs. Making History Entering the 2017 season, 62 OHSAA member schools have never made the football playoffs. That number has decreased by five, as Lima Perry (Div. VII, Region 28), Galion Northmor (Div. VI, Region 23), Eastlake North (Div. II, Region 5), Middletown Madison (Div. V, Region 20) and Chillicothe Southeastern (Div. VI, Region 23) qualified. In addition, Cincinnati West Clermont is a new consolidated school of Batavia Amelia and Cincinnati Glen Este High Schools. Glen Easte had made six playoff appearances, while Amelia had made none. Eight schools made the playoffs for the first time in 2016, including Hilliard Bradley (Div. I), Columbus West (Div. II), Akron East (Div. III), Bellefontaine Ben Logan (Div. IV), Cincinnati Aiken (Div. V), Lakeside Danbury (Div. VII), McGuffey Upper Scioto Valley (Div. VII) and CIncinnati Hillcrest Academy (Div. VII). The number of first-time playoff participants since 2000 includes eight in 2016, eight in 2015, 10 in 2014, two in 2013, seven in 2012, eight in 2011, six in 2010, 14 in 2009, 12 in 2008, 14 in 2007, 10 in 2006, 12 in 2005, 16 in 2004, 12 in 2003, 21 in 2002, 17 in 2001 and 26 in 2000. Adding to History While the aforementioned five schools are in the playoffs for the first time, Cincinnati Archbishop Moeller is back in the playoffs for the 34th time, which ranks second to Newark Catholic s 35 appearances. Newark Catholic didn t make the playoffs in 2017, while Moeller qualified with a 4-6 record. MOST OHSAA PLAYOFF APPEARANCES, INCLUDING 2017 1. Newark Catholic, 35 (did not qualify in 2017) 2.

Week 10 Movers Many schools needed to win their final regular-season game last weekend in order to clinch a playoff berth. In addition, several schools were outside the playoff field after Week 9 and moved up into the playoff field thanks to victories in Week 10. They include Hilliard Darby (Div. I, Region 3, 10th to 8th), Cincinnati West Clermont (Div. I, Region 4, 9th to 6th), Mayfield (Div. II, Region 5, 9th to 8th), Toledo St. John s Jesuit (Div. II, Region 6, 9th to 8th), Canal Winchester (Div. II, Region 7, 9th to 8th), Chillicothe (Div. II, Region 8, 9th to 8th), Aurora (Div. III, Region 9, 10th to 8th), Cleveland Glenville (Div. III, Region 10, 9th to 8th), New Richmond (Div. III, Region 12, 10th to 6th), Salem (Div. IV, Region 13, 9th to 8th), Bellevue (Div. IV, Region 14, 9th to 5th), Chillicothe Unioto (Div. IV, Region 15, 9th to 8th), Swanton (Div. V, Region 18, 11th to 8th), East Palestine (Div. VI, Region 21, 10th to 7th), Youngstown Liberty (Div.

Of note, in Div. III, Region 9, Chagrin Falls Kenston was third in the region going into week 10 and won its final regular-season game to finish 8-2, but fell to ninth in the final computer ratings.

First Round Success Two schools have an amazing success rate in the first round of the playoffs. St. Henry has been in the playoffs 15 times and is 15-0 in first-round playoff games. Cincinnati Colerain is 18-0 in first-round games, although one of its first-round games (1995) was later forfeited. In addition, three schools won their first-round playoff game nine straight years before losing, including Germantown Valley View, Mogadore and Newark Licking Valley. Welcome Back Milford (Div. I) is back in the playoffs for the first time since 1986, while Sidney (Div. II) is back in for the first time since 1989. Two teams in Div. IV are also back after a long hiatus, including Pepper Pike Orange (1988) and London (1989). In 2016, the longest return trip was by Barberton, which hadn t been in the playoffs since 1998. In 2015, Burton Berkshire was back in the playoffs for the first time since 1981. In 2013, Norwalk was back in the playoffs for the first time since winning the state championship in 1974. Playoff Streaks Coldwater owns the longest active streak of qualifying for the playoffs at 21-straight years. In fact, the Cavaliers have been to the state championship game the last seven years. Newark Catholic owns the overall record with eight straight title game appearances from 1980-87 followed by Cleveland St. Ignatius with six in a row from 1991-96. The all-time longest streak of consecutive years making the playoffs is 22 years by Cleveland St. Ignatius from 1988 through 2009. * denotes active streak School Consecutive Years in Playoffs (Years) Cleveland St. Ignatius 22 (1988-2009) * Coldwater 21 (1997-2017) Columbus St. Francis DeSales 18 (1994-2011) * Mogadore 18 (1999-2017) * Kettering Archbishop Alter 16 (2001-2017) * Steubenville 16 (2001-2017) Akron Manchester 15 (1991-2005) Clarksville Clinton-Massie 14 (2002-2015) Cin.

Ironton, 11 MAC Builds on Success (By Gary Rasberry, Celina Daily Standard) The Midwest Athletic Conference started in 1973, but it wasn t until 1989 that the conference began its run of football dominance of the smaller divisions. From 1989, when Minster won the conference s first state title, to 2015 when Fort Recovery won its first-ever state title and Coldwater captured its sixth since 2005, the MAC has been regular visitors to the state championships game. In that span, the MAC has been missing from State Championship Weekend only three years (1991, 1993 and 2002). In 2003, Versailles, a five-time state champion before joining in the MAC in 2000, won its first MAC state football title, starting a streak where the MAC has brought home at least one title from either Stark County (Massillon or Canton) or Ohio Stadium every season except the 2009 season. In 2005, the MAC had its first double-championship weekend as Coldwater won the Division IV title in Canton and Delphos St. John s won the Division VI state title a few hours later in Massillon. The MAC had two champions in 2006, 2007, 2012 and 2013. In 2014, the MAC made state history in becoming the first conference to win three state football championship titles in the same season Coldwater, Minster and Marion Local swept Divisions V, VI and VII. Since the OHSAA created the seventh division, the MAC has won every state championship in the smallest-school division except 2016 when Warren John F. Kennedy topped Minster. Marion Local won the first two back-to-back in 2013 and 2014 with Fort Recovery winning last season. Minster is back representing the MAC in the Div. VII title game this weekend. The MAC is 65-2 in first round playoff games against non-mac schools since the playoffs expanded to eight qualifiers per region in 1999. (The two losses include a Versailles loss to Lima Central Catholic in 2005 and a Delphos St. John s loss to Arlington in 2014.) The MAC is 51-13 against non-mac schools in OHSAA regional championship games. The MAC is now 36-7 in state semifinal games against non-mac schools. The MAC currently owns 115 various OHSAA state team championships. Proving the Pollsters During the playoffs, the weekly release will contain a breakdown of how the state s top-ranked teams according to the Associated Press media poll have fared in the postseason. Last year, all 70 teams ranked in the AP Top 10 made the playoffs. Before the Playoffs Historians have found that in most years since 1895, the media or a specific organization named an Ohio high school football state champion. The Associated Press began its polls in 1947 and the OHSAA created the playoffs in 1972. The research of mythical state

Skyview Networks to Provide Satellite Distribution of OHSAA Radio Network Football Championship Broadcasts Satellite provider for Ohio s pro teams to distribute OHSAA football finals from Canton Nov. 30, Dec. 1-2 COLUMBUS, Ohio Skyview Networks, the radio broadcast satellite provider for Ohio s professional sports teams including the Cavs, Blue Jackets, Reds, Indians, Bengals and Browns, will once again distribute the OHSAA Radio Network broad-casts of the 2017 football state championship games. The football championship broadcasts, which had 46 affiliates last year, return to Canton Nov. 30, Dec. 1 & 2. Skyview Networks is pleased to partner with the OHSAA Radio Network to deliver state championship broadcasts to its affiliates, said Matt Stys, Vice President of Business Development for Skyview Networks. The football state championships in Ohio are a prestigious event and we are proud to add that to our client base, which includes hun-dreds of college and professional teams, many of which are in Ohio. The OHSAA Radio Network continues to grow every year and we look forward to being a part of that growth and service. Specializing in news and sports programming, Skyview Networks was formed in 1995 to provide broadcast services in the form of distribution, automation, and inventory management, as well as content for the radio industry. Com-bining cutting-edge technology, extensive resources and unmatched industry expertise, Skyview Networks is the partner of choice for advertisers, radio stations and sports organizations throughout North America. Skyview Networks is already the satellite provider of the aforementioned professional teams in Ohio along with ABC News Radio and ABC Sports Radio, meaning that most stations in Ohio already have Skyview Networks receivers and can automate the broadcasts. The OHSAA Radio Network, which has been carried by 76 stations across Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky, was created in 2010 to provide exceptional radio broadcasts of selected OHSAA state tournaments and partner with local affiliates to carry those broadcasts, along with public service announcements and promotional messages. Stations that carry broadcasts receive discounts or waivers for the rights fees they would normally pay to broadcast OHSAA regional and state tournaments. Playoff Preview Show The OHSAA Radio Network will produce and distribute a football playoff preview show on Wednesday, Nov. 1.
