Ohio's second season to get under way

November 2, 2009

Well, the sport that most area residents look forward to the most is over. The prep football season came to a close this past weekend. However, a new season is set to begin for six area teams, which are still chasing the dream of a state championship. More than 800 schools began the season in the August heat hoping to qualify in the top eight of their respective region to earn the right to play in week 11. However, after 10 challenging and sometimes trying weeks, the field has been narrowed to 192 schools vying for the brass ring in six divisions. The tournament begins Friday at the home of the top four seeds in Divisions II, III and V at 7:30 p.m., while the remaining three divisions will compete starting Saturday at 7 p.m. The playoffs will follow that schedule for four weeks and after all of that dust settles, it’ll be time for ‘High School Football’s Greatest Weekend’ in Stark County when the gold trophies are officially passed out.
