Yeah but most teams don't travel like Massillon especially late into playoffs. Most venues are too small to accommodate our fans and Mansfield is perfect
Shelby actually has an amazing new facility. Super close to Mansfield, but not sure if they’re hosting games this year though.

Right. Aren't they all on Fridays still?
Miss the days of games on both days to go to. D1 and D2 separately was best, but would even like d5-d7 to be Saturday to have choices
I thought they were all on Friday night at this point as well. According to the OHSAA site, the dates are listed for Friday night.

Yeah it changed a few years ago. Yet another ohsaa blunder imo. 8 teams per region and splitting them across two nights was peak HS football
PREACH IT!!!!!
doubtme
Go outside nerd.
Yeah my mistake they did change it back
They shouldn’t. Awful stadium to host a playoff game.

100% agree. Nothing pleasant at all about Gville. When Ansonia played New Bremen there both set of bleachers (if that’s what you want to call the cement slabs) were packed along with people standing.
Ansonia was told they couldn’t line the fence line and had to be within a set distance from the bleachers. Made 0 sense.
On top of horrible field maintenance where they refused to clear the field or bleachers from the snow. As well as concession stand selling Dixie cup hot chocolate for $2 lol

Could Greenville even host since I believe that the played this year at the track/soccer facility after the press box and half the stands were destroyed in a storm in May/June?

There are 2 games tonight so it sounds like the OHSAA is ok with moving games to Saturdays if they need to.

Not nearly the same as splitting divisions like the good old daysThere are 2 games tonight so it sounds like the OHSAA is ok with moving games to Saturdays if they need to.

They 'needed to' to accommodate Steubenville CC being the home team at Harding Stadium (same as last week), and they agreed to move the Calvert game to accommodate for their girls volleyball state championship game that was played yesterday.There are 2 games tonight so it sounds like the OHSAA is ok with moving games to Saturdays if they need to.

Kinda random but here is what makes sense:
Glenville & LC @ Euclid
Liberty & UA @ Thomas Worthington
Pick North & Berlin @ Gahanna Lincoln
Watterson & Licking Valley @ Watkins Memorial (if they are able to, I know they had construction going on)
Canton Mck & Mentor @ Stow
Harvest Prep & Ironton @ Athens
Glenville & LC @ Euclid
Liberty & UA @ Thomas Worthington
Pick North & Berlin @ Gahanna Lincoln
Watterson & Licking Valley @ Watkins Memorial (if they are able to, I know they had construction going on)
Canton Mck & Mentor @ Stow
Harvest Prep & Ironton @ Athens

No not at all, there is no reason for this nonsense they have now.

So as I said if they need to they will move games to Saturday.

Mentor is the higher seed. 55 for them and 38 for McKinley doesn't make sense at all

I hear you. But you know OHSAA always says it’s not about equal distance or an advantage for the higher seed. It’s about which schools are able and willing to host and has turf. Although that drive seems reasonable, less than an hour for both schools.

Gotcha. I was moreso referring to you mentioning seed as a factor for site selection.

Avoiding the potential of missing out on a large gate would not qualify as a need. Oh wait, maybe they could move Massillon to Saturday.
No way big enough. And I went to a D 6 game there years ago. Parking was terrible, they had tow trunks pulling cars out of the mud.
Field needed replaced then, it's now worse.

Right like the OHSAA is going to chance missing out on a payday. This weeks game doesn’t matter anyway, they could have it at a stadium like Zanesville etc and be just fine.

20 minutes difference doesn't matter. Won't be a big crowd anyway.

Again read the post I responded to from a guy saying this is what makes sense
It doesn't make sense to pick Stow in general let alone giving a 20 minute closer spot to a way lower seed
Now the ohsaa does a ton that takes zero sense as it's a stupidly run organization. So what happens vs what makes sense isn't the same many of times

How do you know it won’t be a big crowd? Only big crowds come out for Massillon, you expecting a big crowd in that huge R7 semi? Mentor and McK will be a heck of a game, Bulldogs in a close one.
