It is because that was the result of injuries. But since the injured players returned they've won 7 of the last 8, including wins over a few top 10 ranked teams. Playoffs are the new season. They're 4-0 against some tough competition where every game was on the road.

Common knowledge.
Yes, facts that they lost to teams from Indiana. I don't care how good they are in Indiana, because it's freaking Indiana. You want to be elite? Don't lose to those teams.
I've spoken to the Centerville AD, and he said the travel plus expenses isn't worth scheduling teams from the NE during the regular season.
Nope! It was a great back and forth battle. I'm bitter about the loss to Toledo St. Francis.
Depends on who they schedule.
Well we know for sure you don’t schedule The Paper Tigers or Steubenville.
Uh, what?
Why can't you host St Edward? They visit Cincinnati schools every year.
Because it's reciprocal. Those same Cincinnati schools go to Lakewood next year. If it's a one-off, the entire calculus changes.
It's usually based on a home and home contract. There's always exceptions but mostly that's how it's scheduled.
What is The Date your Tigers are going to Valdosta. Mr. Reciprocal ??
This isn't the burn you think it is. Massillon-Valdosta was a one-off, funded largely through a mechanism which doesn't apply to a standard game. You might also note (as if you knew) that OHSAA restrictions prevent most travel to non-contiguous states.
Sure Sure Pal. Your ignorance and Bias is clearly posted.
And yours (says your boyfriend) stinks.
What’s your beef with Coach Doug??
There’s three elite teams in Ohio this year and Moeller is not one of them. Moeller is, however, undoubtedly the 2nd best team in D1. Ed’s, Hoban, and Massillon are the elite teams. Massillon has a great chance to end their “on-the-field” title drought; unfortunately, it still won’t be in the big school division (they need to go back to 6 divisions, btw; D1 was garbage this year).
Recruiting. Pressuring teachers to change grades. Allowing non students to praxtice...i.e tryouts from other places.
Good Good Pal. The Bottom Line is you all won’t show up in Valdosta.
Oil Filter is correct in this debate. Ohio schools cannot schedule out of state games with non-contiguous states.
Agreed. Going to 7 divisions was so dumb and division 1 was in fact the weakest I've seen it in a long time this season.
AFAIK, Eds has no intention to end the Massillon series even though it'll still be at PBTS every time. But I think that's a unique circumstance and I know the AD at Eds isn't dumb enough to start scheduling teams on the same all road series idea. Anyway, I want the Tigers to come up to Lakewood at least once in the new series, and the first drink is on me.
Wasn’t that like in the 2000’s? Let it go.
Teams can do so if they ask for permission.
In 2010, Centerville hosted St Ignatius
Idk, you'll have to ask the AD. My guess, like in college, you'll want a home and home contract. I know Ignatius came down one year, probably because Centerville had an unexpected open date and Ignatius, like many parochial schools had trouble filling up their schedule; decided to make the trip to play the game.
Centerville played at St Ignatius the following 2011 season.
I'm sure St Eds can find Centerville on a map. We send a lot of kids to UD. We manage to make it down that way for games against Elder and Moeller. Massillon has no problem sending the annual invitation.
I'd also like to see Elks vs McKinley or Massillon
