I am really curious as to where Mooney-SR ends up. Boardman makes sense, but Ursuline-Canfield is almost certain to be there and austintown isn’t hosting any games. Campbell? Maybe in Trumbull county in Girard? Salem?

Well we will have to see who really wants to bid, and host. But just for fun how about...
Ursuline vs Canfield at Niles
Mooney vs South Range at Boardman

No, they just dropped to D5 in 2020 and only qualified that year because of Covid.Mooney ever win a D5 title? Enrollment drops = talent pool drops.I was pretty vocal about a .500 Mooney team (w/ that schedule) being a problem for D5 teams. I didn’t think the pushback was worth any excitement.
They have won in D1 (the equivalent in 1973 that is, AAA), D2 (80 & 82), D3 (87, 09 & 11) & D4 (04 & 06).
Boardman does make the most sense I guess but as you mentioned Ursuline-Canfield has to play somewhere. I thought they might not be playing on the same night now that OHSAA is going back to Friday & Saturday games, but I looked at the brackets on the OHSAA website and they show D1- D5 playing on Friday, D6 & 7 playing on Saturday.

D4 is also on Saturday. I was saying Niles would be a god venue, for Ursuline/Canfield.

I was thinking that would be good for Ursuline vs Canfield

Oh I’m sure they did but that’s pretty out of the way. But with Austintown not available might have to put a game there

Definitely wouldn’t be good, but may have to do. Though I think since Ursuline-Canfield is the D3 game and likely to draw a larger crowd they’ll put it in Boardman and make SR/Mooney drive up to Niles if need be.

You are correct. I swear I looked at it about an hour ago and it showed games on 11/11/22 for D4. Thank you sir. Still doesn't help the Mooney-SR and Canfield-Ursuline situation though.

Jefferson/ Canton South could be a possibility at Niles

Come on it isn't that far out if the way. Canfield is right down Rt 46, and Ursuline not that far from Niles either

That does sound like a pretty good split for those schools.

Struthers Mooney was at Niles in 2013. It wouldn’t surprise me.

I would think Canfield/ Ursuline is at Boardman and SR/Mooney is at Niles

I’d have to assume Mooney-SR will be at Boardman. It’s literally in-between the 2 schools. And both districts have several students from Boardman township.
Ursuline-Canfield would’ve been perfect at Fitch, but I assume they are out with home side being demo’d soon. So Niles it likely is.
Good thing is both sites have plenty of seating to easily hold whatever crowd shows up.

True, but most saw the improvement all season. Great job by the players and coaches
Heard Canfield Vs. Ursuline will be at Poland. Guess we’ll see.

Solid spot as well
Since the two Greater Canfield teams are higher seeds against the Catholics, I say SR-Mooney@Canfield and Canfield-Ursuline@SR. Heh.
I'd much prefer Mooney-SR remain in Mahoning County. Niles is nice and all, but some bad recent memories there for playoff games. Then again, Mooney ain't Kirtland. And, yes, having grown up in the 80s, it still baffles my mind to say that.

Agree, honestly they divide the public schools into 5-6 divisions and the private schools into 2 divisions. Yes there is advantage to private schools in football. It is a much bigger advantage for them in the basketball. It makes me mad that a top small school public team goes again a private school. They know they have slim chance to win. The OHSAA hasn’t done a thing to help the small school against this problem.
That why there is 16 team playoff but the host school doesn’t get a ounce of the money from the gate.

With South Range playing a game the same night, they won't host a playoff game Friday night. However, I wouldn't be surprised if South Range doesn't host the D VII Saturday game between Warren JFK and Southern.
