what i find interesting it was in my knowledge between Bellevue, Clyde, Huron for this game.. awarded to bellevue because it is more "neutral of the three" Bellevue actually would be the most logical place for the TCC-Avon game as far as neutral.. the distance from middle of norwalk to middle of huron and middle of sandusky to middle of huron is closer in miles traveled for both than bellevue.. 12.9 miles from norwalk to bellevue and 15.8 from sandusky to bellevue its 12.2 from norwalk to huron and 9.6 from sandusky to huron... either or,, cant go wrong with any of the three... Doesn't Bellevue have a much larger seating capacity? decision was granted to bellevue because it was more of a "neutral site" ..

That will always be the statement made but we know what each site can provide for the players and fans factors in the selection also. What does Bellevue and Huron each hold?

Honestly, Huron does make the most sense. But, if true to their word, Bellevue is more neutral.

Seating doesn't matter. Both sides probably won't be full, especially Sandusky's side.

Depending on the weather, my guess is with this rematch seating should be pretty close to capacity at Bellevue. There’s no disadvantages between here or Huron (Visitors locker rooms maybe), so I’m happy to see this site selected. Best of luck to both teams, but I’m really hoping for a Blue Streak W

Did Huron even put in for a game? It's moot if not. Sportsvideo, I hear you, man. Maybe they didn't y want lower seed to be closer even though minicue issue. I would have been fine with Huron. Bellevue being more equidistant and different County may have won out despite Bellevue HS being a block from Huron Co and 1/4 mile from Erie Co

Parking is a lot better at Bellevue than Huron. Come Friday night it doesn’t matter where the game is. It comes down to the players and coaches

Not to get sidetracked, but it's apparent Fremont didn't put in for any games.

If the game was in Huron, I'd go. If it's in Bellevue, There will be plenty of you guys keeping us updated, Plus it'll be on the radio, Hopefully not on 92.1. What did Huron do to the OHSAA, That they keep snubbing Huron from hosting a game.

They put in newer turf this past season. I think they simply didn't want to host due to being a hassle

It wasn't an issue, there were lots of empty seats for that game.

What it all boils down to is Bellevue AD was more aggressive than Huron's AD in pursuing this game. It is a very political game when it comes to their decision making. They will throw all this stuff out at you but it boils down to a Trust factor. They simply trust Bellevue's AD to do the job more than Huron's. Both sites are perfectly fit to host this game.

That would make perfect sense except that Huron has hosted quite a few more games over the year’s than Bellevue. The actual most likely reason is that Bellevue has a larger capacity for a game that has the potential for high turn out. Outside of enabling private schools nothing motivates the OHSAA like the almighty dollar.

Huron has hosted such teams as Avon, Avon Lake, Glenville, Wadsworth, Toledo St Francis, Toledo CC, Toledo St John, Liberty Benton, Warren JFK, Brunswick, Swanton, Chippewa. ect. Under the management of Dave Brown he used to pull off amazing playoff games because he knew the people on the Athletic Board of the OHSAA. Brian Schubert is doing that exact same thing for Bellevue while Huron's AD now does not. It makes all the difference when you boil in a trust factor.

Hopefully a Fremont reader can confirm or provide details. During last spring's track season, one of the Fremont coaches told us they were going to be doing a lot of work in the off-seasons to move the high school track. I cannot remember what he told us about the football field. They were not in the same location.

Willard seating was considered for the Lexington and Sandusky game. With Lexington being on the home side and the poor attendance that was expected from Sandusky. Once that was considered, the location was perfect.

Bellevue would have been a better site for Avon/TCC though based on distance.

Honestly, Huron does make the most sense. But, if true to their word, Bellevue is more neutral. map check center points of towns (as how they measure) Norwalk to Bellevue 12.9 miles Sandusky to Bellevue 15.8 miles Norwalk to Huron 12.2 miles Sandusky to Huron 9.6 miles i rest my case... This comparison would make sense if it were somehow possible for the bus trips to start and end at the center points of the towns and travel as the crow flies. But let's look at a more real world scenario where bus trips start and at the high schools and use roads... According to Google's top choice of route to and from the HS addresses: Sandusky to Bellevue: 15 miles, 21 minutes Norwalk to Bellevue 15 miles, 21 minutes Norwalk to Huron: 14 miles, 24 minutes Sandusky to Huron: 12 miles, 15 minutes

I'm not sure I would describe it as such but I will say the trust of running a good event, especially when it comes to the paperwork and behind the scenes stuff, does matter to the OHSAA.
