The OHSAA high school football playoffs just took another wild step on Friday, November 6th. All the regional quarterfinal rounds are in the books, and let me tell you, some teams are heading home with their heads low. Take the Lucas Cubs, for instance, they got shut out 34-0 by Danville in their Division VII quarterfinal. Talk about a tough night.
Division I Delivered the Fireworks
Man, Division I was a ride. Canton McKinley just squeaked by Austintown-Fitch 27-22, holding on tight for that win. Meanwhile, Hudson absolutely rolled over Jackson with a commanding 44-14 victory. And if you want to talk dominance, Mentor just dropped 45 points on Strongsville’s head, crushing them 45-14. Over in Region 2, Wayne had a straight-up nail-biter, barely beating Beavercreek 35-34. That’s the kind of game that gives you heart palpitations, right? Springfield also showed no mercy, completely blanking Kettering Fairmont 38-0.
Big Wins and Statement Shutouts
Across the other divisions, the action was just as intense. Division II saw Central Catholic dominating Avon Lake 35-7, and Massillon Washington throwing up a monstrous 48-0 shutout against St. Francis DeSales. That’s a statement win, for sure, and a clear message to anyone left in their path. It wasn’t just blowouts though, some teams really had to grind it out. In Division III, Ontario edged past Tiffin Columbian 22-19, and Wapakoneta squeezed by Padua Franciscan 14-12. Those are some intense, down-to-the-wire victories!
So, the regional quarterfinals are done, and the OHSAA playoff bracket is looking fierce. We’re moving one step closer to crowning state champs. Who’s gonna keep that momentum rolling into the next round? Can’t wait to see what happens next Friday!
