2022 Regional Semifinal Neutral Sites

[INDIANS_RULE]

They have done it before in 2017. It really isn't that hard.

I get it's possible, but most community's wouldn't leave fans at the stadium instead of them going to the game.

 

[Freak Hands]

So Chardon and Kenston have to travel to Boardman Stadium in Youngstown but i would think Mogadore/Cuyahoga Hts would be closer drives?

 

[EagleFan]

Ignatius/St. Edward at Euclid

 

[MSU2016]

I can’t believe Miamisburg is not a school that puts their name in to host! By far one of the best Stadiums in the Dayton area! Just a waste not to show off a beautiful stadium.

 

[Vincent and Regina]

I get it's possible, but most community's wouldn't leave fans at the stadium instead of them going to the game.

HS football is not what it used to be. I bet if you offer the girls soccer team, the wrestling team, The Glee Club, the tennis team, or any other team not directly connected with the football team a chance to make extra funds by working concessions/other areas they will skip the football game.

 

[Freak Hands]

Yeah looks like Cuyahoga Hts and Mogadore are nearly half as close to Boardman Stadium then Chardon/Kenston

Mogadore Junior/Senior High School · 130 S Cleveland Ave, Mogadore, OH 44260, United States

[The Dock]

Here’s an interesting one that just got confirmed: Fort Frye vs Coal Grove at Lancaster (Saturday.)

 

[Doverbuck1]

Get there early we will fill it and there wasn't much parking last time we were there

Can park about 600 cars within 100 yards of the gates. Seats over 6,000.
Bottle neck issue at 77 exit ramp so for this reason early arrival would be a good idea.

 

[Freak Hands]

Each too small.

No i meant that Mogadore and Cuyahoga hts are half as close to Boardman Stadium then Kenston and Chardon. Seems like it would have made more sense to send Mogadore/Cuyahoga Hts to Boardman. But whatever Im sure the squads are just happy to be in week 3 of the playoffs.

 

[Ericles]

the issue (has/will continue) is the schools willing to put in a bid are usually the same schools that usually make playoff appearances.

I know that. You know that. But many other people don't. Or choose to ignore.

And contrary to popular belief, there is nothing that says the higher seed gets preferential treatment for location. Or that travel distance has to be equal between the two schools.

 

[Wildcat97]

Should have been Brunswick. Shocked they picked Brunswick for holy name Mansfield, but what do I know. They could have put us at Boardman or Huron I guess

 

[HSFB Fan]

How is Mason going to host when they are playing that night?

Very large school with a huge booster program. Other sports families will fill in

 

[Scrum]

Does anyone know of any cheap flights from Chardon or Kenston to Youngstown Boardman?

 

[HSFB Fan]

Someone explain to me how having the Winton Woods vs Kings game @ Mason is a “neutral” site? Kings is only 10 minutes from Mason. But I guess at the end of the day, you gotta go out there and play! Can’t wait to play Kings again though, it is always an exciting game to watch!

Kings gets a home game because Mason was the only other stadium that offered grey poupon mustard for the hot dogs….this is a big game and you have to have the right condiments for the pretzels and dogs….

[simkon]

Does anyone know of any cheap flights from Chardon or Kenston to Youngstown Boardman?

Allegiant doesn't fly into Youngstown anymore unfortunately so you are out of luck haha

 

[GridironGirl]

How is Mason going to host when they are playing that night?

I was wondering that too! I wasn’t sure if Mason was gonna be on the table

 

[wildcat71]

Canfield vs. Ursuline at Niles.

Yes as others have already mentioned, Chardon and Kenston is at Boardman

Thinking the OHSAA has resorted to using a dart board while blindfolded for some of these choices!! 2 Geauga county schools traveling 60+ miles south to play a game! REALLY!

 

[eastisbest]

Nice: Euclid just showing off with that beauty. Saw some others not on my list, I'd like to attend. Particularly down in the SE.
Sidney Memorial Stadium
Euclid Community Stadium
Liberty Center Kip Kern Field
Portsmouth Clark Athletic Complex
Middletown Barnitz Stadium
Westerville Central High School stadium
Mansfield Senior Arlin Field
Philo Sam Hatfield Stadium
Niles McKinley Bo Rein Stadium

 

[Freak Hands]

I know that. You know that. But many other people don't. Or choose to ignore.

And contrary to popular belief, there is nothing that says the higher seed gets preferential treatment for location. Or that travel distance has to be equal between the two schools.

I dont know if anybody has insinuated higher seed should get preferential treatment. But I would think OHSAA would take into consideration a stadiums parking size, seating size on both sides of the field, concession stand size, restroom facilities, etc...but im not sure they consider travel time for parents/fans, especially on friday games when some people work till 6 pm or later.

 

[atthemike]

I'm going to take a wild uneducated stab (emphasis on wild) on a few of these. 100% guarantee that many of these will be wrong:

Friday

R1:
Mentor-Medina: Byers Field. You can write that one in granite.
Ed's-Ignatius: Baldwin-Wallace?
R4:
Lakota West-Elder: Fairfield
Mason-Moeller: Princeton (Moeller would be playing at Mason if they were playing anyone BUT Mason)
R5:
Hudson-Riverside: Euclid
St. V-Hoban: If InfoCision was still an option, it'd be the obvious choice. But since it's not... Barberton?
R6:
Olmsted Falls-Avon: North Ridgeville
TCC-Highland: Sandusky
R7:
Big Walnut-Massillon: Ashland HS or Ashland U
Westerville South-Lake: Ashland HS or Ashland U
(With Mansfield playing Friday night, I can't think of a plausible place other than these for either game)
R8:
Kings-Winton Woods: Lakota East
Anderson-Edgewood: Norwood?
R9:
Ursuline-Canfield: Austintown (pretty confident on this one)
Kenston-Chardon: West Geauga?
R10:
Padua-Norton: Brunswick
Mansfield-Holy Name: Wadsworth? (Medina would be perfect)
R12:
Tipp-Western Brown: Xenia
Wapakoneta-Badin: Troy
R17:
Perry-Garaway: Aurora (or close to it; maybe Nordonia, Stow, or Twinsburg)
Mooney-South Range: Boardman (like the Austintown prediction; I feel good about this one)
R20:
Madeira-Valley View: Middletown or Monroe
Brookville-Milton Union: Northmont or Butler

Saturday

R13:
Buchtel-West Branch: Ravenna (maybe North Canton)
Canton South-Jefferson: Mollenkopf
R14:
Elyria Catholic-Glenville: Byers (again, write it in granite)
Van Wert-West Holmes: Marion
R15:
Columbus East-Steubenville: New Philadelphia
Ready-Indian Valley: Zanesville
R16:
Clinton-Massie-Wyoming: Little Miami (where they played last year)
McNicholas-Taft: Norwood
R21:
Cuyahoga Heights-Mogadore
Dalton-Kirtland
One will be at Nordonia; the other will be at Twinsburg
R24:
Versailles-Marion Local: Sidney
Tri-Village-Allen East: Piqua
R25:
Southern-JFK: Salem
Lucas-Danville: Mount Vernon (if Mansfield doesn't want it)
R28:
New Bremen-Ansonia: Greenville
Minster-Fort Loramie: Wapakoneta

Feel free to mock at your leisure.

 

[PGEMF]

Thinking the OHSAA has resorted to using a dart board while blindfolded for some of these choices!! 2 Geauga county schools traveling 60+ miles south to play a game! REALLY!

If anything they could face flipped them with Canfield/Ursuline and saved all 4 fan bases travel

 

[atthemike]

I'll take a crack at this (gonna stick to NE Ohio predictions)

D1 R1:
Medina/Mentor: Byers Field, Brunswick, or Strongsville
Eds/Iggy: BW or Brunswick

D2 R5:
Hoban/SVSM: Dix Stadium, Ravenna, or Barberton
Riverside/Hudson: Mentor, Euclid, or Mayfield

D2 R6:
Avon/Olmsted Falls: North Ridgeville
Toledo CC/Highland: Norwalk or Sandusky

D3 R9:
Ursuline/Canfield: Boardman
Chardon/Kenston: Solon, Twinsburg or Aurora

D3 R10:
Norton/Padua: North Royalton or Strongsville
Holy Name/Mansfield: Ashland or Medina

D4 R13:
West Branch/Buchtel: Ravenna
Canton South/Jefferson: Perry or Niles

D4 R14:
Glenville/Elyria Catholic: Euclid, Maple Heights or Bedford

D5 R17:
Garaway/Perry: Aurora, Nordonia
Mooney/South Range: Poland or Niles

D6 R21:
Kirtland/Dalton: Aurora, Solon
Cuyahoga Heights/Mogadore: Ravenna

D7 R25:
JFK/Southern Local: Canfield

Bet NOBODY thought Kenston vs Chardon would be played in Boardman! Not even myself. Makes NO sense!!!

 

[Richland Sports]

Eastwoood H.S. football twitter site reporting that game has been moved to Bowling Green High School with Elmwood H.S. from
Napoleon H.S. Seems logical since both schools are in Wood County 10 miles apart and 20 minutes way from Bowling Green and not
35 to 40 miles from Napoleon. This is a regional semi-final game in Region 18. Teams met a month ago with Eastwood winning a
thriller 49 to 48.

 

[Sykotyk]

R9 really should be swapped.

Only thing I can think is Boardman absolutely doesn't want ursuline playing at their stadium.

 

[Willow_Hub]

Nice: Euclid just showing off with that beauty. Saw some others not on my list, I'd like to attend. Particularly down in the SE.
Sidney Memorial Stadium
Euclid Community Stadium
Liberty Center Kip Kern Field
Portsmouth Clark Athletic Complex
Middletown Barnitz Stadium
Westerville Central High School stadium
Mansfield Senior Arlin Field
Philo Sam Hatfield Stadium
Niles McKinley Bo Rein Stadium

I was thinking about going to the Ursuline - Canfield game in Niles (I am a Youngstown area native).

But now that I see Ed’s - Ignatius is at Euclid’s new and very nice stadium (which is five miles from my house), and I have never attended an Ed’s vs. Iggy game before, I think that will be my choice.

 

[James x2]

That stadium is a great place to watch this game.. Booster Dogs!!!

Me as well. Good choice.

 

[Fireman878]

Elmwood vs Eastwood
Charles Buckenmeyer stadium Napoleon Ohio

Playing @ Bobcat Stadium in Bowling Green now didn’t make sense going to Napoleon when BG is less than 15 miles for both schools

 

[12penguins]

I can’t believe Miamisburg is not a school that puts their name in to host! By far one of the best Stadiums in the Dayton area! Just a waste not to show off a beautiful stadium.

It is very nice. Every seat in the house is a stadium chair!
