Week 12 locations?

[jmorgret07]

Best guesses?

Norwalk vs. Sandusky at Bellevue?
Clyde vs. Shelby at Tiffin?

[BellevueBuckeye]

Wauseon/Ottawa-Glandorf is an interesting one. Defiance would be perfect, but I don't think it has turf, same with Napoleon. Could be Findlay, which would be a lot closer to O-G. Or perhaps one of the Toledo area schools such as Holland Springfield or Perrysburg?

[jmorgret07]

FRIDAY
Whitmer vs. Dublin Coffman
Central Catholic vs. St. John's
Anthony Wayne vs. Olentangy
Norwalk vs. Sandusky
Mansfield Senior vs. Holy Name
Carey vs. Hillsdale
Seneca East vs. East Knox
Fairview vs. Anna
Liberty Center vs. Archbold

SATURDAY
Clyde vs. Shelby
Wauseon vs. Ottawa-Glandorf
Oak Harbor vs. Eastwood
Orrville vs. Marion Pleasant
Leipsic vs. Edgerton
St. Paul vs. Patrick Henry

[BellevueBuckeye]

I'll throw out some guesses for that list....not using any stadium more than once:

FRIDAY
Whitmer vs. Dublin Coffman - Marion
Central Catholic vs. St. John's - Perrysburg
Anthony Wayne vs. Olentangy - Findlay
Norwalk vs. Sandusky - Huron
Mansfield Senior vs. Holy Name - Medina
Carey vs. Hillsdale - Bellevue
Seneca East vs. East Knox - Mansfield Madison
Fairview vs. Anna - Lima
Liberty Center vs. Archbold - Sylvania Northview

SATURDAY
Clyde vs. Shelby - Willard
Wauseon vs. Ottawa-Glandorf - Holland Springfield
Oak Harbor vs. Eastwood - Fremont
Orrville vs. Marion Pleasant - Ashland
Leipsic vs. Edgerton - Wapakoneta
St. Paul vs. Patrick Henry - Tiffin

[jmorgret07]

FRIDAY
Whitmer vs. Dublin Coffman - Tiffin
Central Catholic vs. St. John's - Lake
Anthony Wayne vs. Olentangy - Findlay
Norwalk vs. Sandusky - Bellevue
Mansfield Senior vs. Holy Name - Medina
Carey vs. Hillsdale - Willard
Seneca East vs. East Knox - Mansfield Madison
Fairview vs. Anna - Ohio Northern (although they have a college game, so if not - Lima)
Liberty Center vs. Archbold - Napoleon

SATURDAY
Clyde vs. Shelby - Willard
Wauseon vs. Ottawa-Glandorf - Defiance
Oak Harbor vs. Eastwood - Fremont
Orrville vs. Marion Pleasant - Mansfield
Leipsic vs. Edgerton - Defiance
St. Paul vs. Patrick Henry - Tiffin

[maplecityjake]

Do we know for sure some are hosting? For example, Fremont hasn't put a bid in a few years

Willard also seemed logical for Clyde-Shelby, and we know how I feel about Norwalk-Sandusky.

[usramfan]

For what it's worth, when Carey and Hillsdale played two years ago, the game was at Highland. But now that I've looked at it, Willard would be only a few miles' difference in travel distance between the two schools.

Here's my guesses. It's quite the jigsaw puzzle. Josh, you should update the Wikipedia page with your knowledge of Ohio HS's with turf fields. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FieldTurf_installations

[BellevueBuckeye]

I doubt Clyde and Mansfield Senior would both be hosting on nights that they play

Good point above about Highland, forgot about them

Also, Clear Fork has brand new turf this year. Could see them turn up on this list (although their home side is a little on the small side since a large portion of their fans sit on the hill)

As for that wiki page, I see a LOT of fields missing from it, but I don't know the years of installation for any of them other than Bellevue.

Willard did not have turf when Carey played Hillsdale a few years ago. Willard looks like it's an equal distance between the two.

Do Defiance and Napoleon have turf? As of the most recent satellite image on google maps they do not, though that could be several years old.

Either way, bold move guessing Defiance to host 2 games on the same Saturday

[redskinfan04]

I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see OH/Eastwood in Tiffin and St.Paul at Lake.

Defiance and Napoleon both have turf now.

[unc4life]

I don’t know if Ashland will be hosting this year..they are finishing up three year stadium project and with new turf. They made it sound like that was going in sooner then later but we will see.

Thanks. Good for those far NW Ohio schools to have better travel options for neutral playoff games against each other.

[sportsvideo]

Norwalk vs Sandusky will be at Bellevue

[usramfan]

OG - Wauseon is @ Defiance
Anthony Wayne - Olentangy Liberty is @ Tiffin

[jmorgret07]

Oak Harbor vs. Eastwood at Lake

[cbus]

It seems like a lot of these guesses were inaccurate.

[Willard Fillmore]

They usually are, not wise to guess in public

[crimsonblooded]

I private messaged some of you with my guesses on location 🤫

[berg19]

It really wasn't that bad. I switched AW/Olentangy and Whitmer/Coffman on Friday. If I wouldn't have been doing this at 1:30 AM, I would have realized I had two games at Defiance and would have switched one (probably Leipsic/Edgerton) to Napoleon. Earlier in the thread, I said Clyde vs. Shelby at Tiffin (Not sure why I put Willard here and sent NSP/PH to Tiffin).

[cbus]

Yea, once there is a miss it can snowball. I think you had 5 right and I had 2. It's a fun thing to do so I'm going to try and guess the next round too. Although the window is pretty small for guessing since sites are selected sometime on Sunday?

They actually start going over scenarios and reaching out to potential sites late in the week.

[BellevueBuckeye]

^ on that topic, looking at some possible matchups:

Norwalk or Sandusky vs. Mansfield - Willard would make most sense geographically, and has hosted R10 before. Possibly Bellevue again, maybe Tiffin.
Norwalk or Sandusky vs. Holy Name - probably Medina, maybe Grafton Midview

Clyde vs. OG - Findlay (edge to OG) or Tiffin (edge to Clyde)
Clyde vs. Wauseon - Lots of Toledo area options would be good, east side such as Lake, Perrysburg or Clay would be best
Shelby vs. OG - Tiffin would be best, Marion (edge to Shelby) or Findlay (edge to OG)
Shelby vs. Wauseon - Findlay would be pretty close to perfect

Oak Harbor or Eastwood vs. Orrville - Willard would seem to make the most sense. Bellevue/Huron/Sandusky/Perkins could also be in the mix
Oak Harbor or Eastwood vs. Pleasant - Tiffin or Findlay

Seneca East vs. Carey - Tiffin would be perfect, if available
Seneca East vs. Hillsdale - Mansfield area (Arlin, Madison or Clear Fork)
East Knox vs. Carey - Marion or Mansfield area
East Knox vs. Hillsdale - Mansfield area (this would probably be the best one for Clear Fork)

St Paul vs. Leipsic - Tiffin or Fremont
St Paul vs Edgerton - Findlay or Toledo area
Patrick Henry vs Leipsic - these two broder each other, and is most likely matchup. Findlay or Defiance, possibly Napoleon.
Patrick Henry vs Edgerton - Napoleon or Defiance


....so it looks like Tiffin and Findlay are in pretty good shape to host next week no matter what happens (and I didn't even bring up the potential Toledo vs. Columbus matchups)
