OHSAA Releases Football State Semifinal Bracket Pairings

Regional champions will meet November 25-26 in the state semifinals

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio High School Athletic Association has announced the bracket pairings and sites for next week’s football state semifinal games. The geography of the four state semifinalists in each division is the primary factor in determining how the regional champions will be paired. A team’s won-lost record, regional seed and state rank do not factor into the pairings.

The regional finals are this weekend, with Division I, II, III and V games on Friday and Division IV, VI and VII games on Saturday. All games kick off at 7 p.m. and all tickets are available at www.ohsaa.org/tickets.

Neutral sites receive a rental fee payment from the OHSAA and sites keep revenue from concessions, parking and program sales.

A no. 1 is right, The OHSAA was never gonna allow Steuby and Glenville to play in the semi finals.

Glenville vs Jefferson/West Branch is the right call.

Likewise,  Van Wert vs Wyoming/Taft is also the right call.

So, if the Final Four is Glenville,, Jefferson, Steubenville and Wyoming, you have Jefferson drive to Columbus to meet Wyoming?

Assuming South Range wins, it’ll be another 3 hour trip for them like when they played in Fremont against Patrick Henry. Is there really a lack of places in north central Ohio that will host playoff games?
