It has been touted as the nation's longest-running high school football all-star game. Yet, not even the Ohio North-South Football Classic could prevail against everything which overtook the world over the previous two years.
However, after a two-year hiatus on actually playing the game, the North-South Classic will be played for the 75th time on Saturday afternoon inside Massillon's Paul Brown Tiger Stadium.
The game returned to Massillon in 2017, its first time back in Stark County since 2000. The 2020 game was canceled due to COVID, and while rosters were announced last year, no actual game was contested.
To get you ready for the on-field return of the game, here's some things you need to know about the 75th North-South Football Classic.

When are the Ohio North-South Football Classic games​

There will actually be two games Saturday, a big-school game involving players from Divisions I through III at noon, and a small-school game involving players from Divisions IV through VII, at 4 p.m. It's actually reversing the order of how the doubleheader had been structured since it was dividing into a two-game format in 2013.

How to buy Ohio North-South Football Classic tickets​

As for tickets, they can be purchased through the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association's web site. The cost is $10 for both games.

What Greater Akron/Canton area players are in the Ohio North-South Football Classic games?​

Stark County, the host county, will have a total of eight players between the two games. Massillon's Austin Brawley and Jaiden Woods, McKinley's Harold Fannin Jr., Hoover's Drew Logan and Alliance's Stephen Gales will were named to play on the big-school North team, while Canton South's Caleb Lott, Central Catholic's Ben Hopkins and the Fairless tandem of Hunter Campbell and Coltin Colucci were named to the small-school North team.

Dawson, Nordonia's Cooper Rusk and Bryan Russ, St. Vincent-St. Mary's Tariq Montgomery and Shawn Lodge, as well as Barberton's John Jackson. Also from the area in the big-school game on the North team will be Streetsboro's Hunter Hopperton, Aurora's Kevin Paul, the Medina trio of Nick Manley, Matt Spatny and Juan Jackson, along with Brecksville's Matt Rose.

Familiar faces on Ohio North-South Football Classic coaching staffs​

Medina's Larry Laird and Ursuline's Dan Reardon will serve as the head coaches for the North teams in the big- and small-school games, respectively. Laird guided the Bees to a 13-1 record and a regional runner-up finish this past fall, while Reardon led the Irish to an 11-4 mark and a Division IV state runner-up finish.
Laird's staff will include Walsh Jesuit's Nick Alexander. Reardon's staff, meanwhile, will include Fairless' A.J. Sarbaugh and Southeast's Patrick Youel.

The South teams will be led by Zanesville's Chad Grandstaff (big-school) and West Jefferson's Shawn Buescher (small-school). Grandstaff finished a 15-year head-coaching career with the Blue Devils this past season, while Buescher led the Rough Riders to a 13-2 record and a state semifinal appearance.
There's a Stark tie-in on Buescher's staff. Jackson High School graduate Jeff Essig, now the head coach at Bethel-Tate, will be one of his assistants.assistants.

Austin Brawley, #2 for the North squad, will head over to Massillon"s baseball diamond, which is next door to PBTS, after the all-star game to join his Tiger baseball team mates in a game against Stow; Austin Brawley is also a very solid baseball player.
 
I miss the Ohio Vs PA Big 33 game. When did that series end? Does anyone know why it ended?

It was scheduled the same day as the Ohio North South game. So Ohio sent their C squad to the Big 33 game. PA also liked a more competitive game and returned to playing Maryland. Though that's now a mistake.
 
Is there any word yet on this year's Stark County East-West All-Star Game?

Is that the one that has been played at GlenOak?
Been there two, maybe three times. I believe the last time when the cops were called because of a big fight in the parking lot.
Yes, that's the site for that game. I do recall hearing something about that fight.
 
Just found this info; this game used to be sponsored by the Repository:
