The OHSAA has been in existence since 1907 (and held its first OHSAA-sponsored state championship event-- in track-- the next year, 1908). Only a small number of schools have ever won an OHSAA football championship (probably less than 100, considering there have only been ~245 championships awarded in 50 years, and ~10 schools have more than 80 of those titles between them, when you tally up Ig, MSML, Moeller, NC, Versailles, Coldwater, Kirtland, Mooney, SVSM, Hoban, Ed), relative to the very large number of high schools in the state (~700).
But, when you consider all of the many other OHSAA-sanctioned sports, many more schools have won a title in one sport or another-- say baseball, or track, or softball, or volleyball, or one of the more than a dozen OHSAA-sanctioned sports state championships-- so most schools have won something in an OHSAA state championship tournament. There are probably not many schools that have not won at least one OHSAA-sanctioned state championship; of that likely small number, one would imagine that most of those schools are relative newcomers--and thus have not had many years of competition, to win an OHSAA state championship. It makes me wonder, how many Ohio high schools that have been in existence since the OHSAA's founding in 1907 have yet to win an OHSAA-sanctioned state title? I would think that it is a relatively small number of those ~700 high schools in Ohio. I'd guess that less than ~100 of the current schools have never won an OHSAA state championship tournament of some sort.
