Happy to be in with 5-5 records 77 teams made the playoffs with less than 5 wins, so being 5-5 has nothing to do with a 2 hour drive.

yes it does. If a team is 1 through 4 they get 2 home games. If they're 5 through 8 they get one home game. How many 5-5 teams are seeded 1 through 8?

Probably not many but in Region 10 #7 Copley and #8 Parma Padua are 5-5 and at home in the 1st round.

With this title Ashland pulls back into solo first for most OCC titles, and keeps their streak alive of never having gone 4 seasons without winning one.
2003 - Wooster 2004 - Wooster 2005 - Madison, Orrville 2006 - Ashland 2007 - Ashland 2008 - Lexington 2009 - Ashland 2010 - Clear Fork 2011 - Ashland 2012 - Madison, Mansfield, West Holmes 2013 - Mansfield 2014 - West Holmes, Wooster 2015 - Ashland, Mansfield, Wooster 2016 - Ashland, Lexington 2017 - Ashland, Mansfield, Wooster 2018 - Wooster 2019 - Wooster 2020 - Ashland, West Holmes, Wooster 2021 - West Holmes 2022 - West Holmes 2023 - Mansfield 2024 - Ashland
9 - Ashland 8 - Wooster 5 - Mansfield 4 - West Holmes 2 - Lexington 2 - Madison 1 - Orrville 1 - Clear Fork

Interesting to know that the OCC has, to date, had 10 members in its lifetime and 8 of them have won titles. New Philly is pretty new so give them time. Mt Vernon was the largest school in the league for 7 seasons and never came close.

Dublin Coffman was the 6th seed last year and had 2 home games. "Any Team"? Lucas, Mansfield, Lexington could get two home games with one win? Joe said Coffman was 7-3 last year. According to Joe no one got 2 home games last year

Joe said Coffman was 7-3 last year. According to Joe no one got 2 home games last year Slow down when you read. I sad any team 1-8 can get two home games. The teams in the 1-4 spots have the best chance but with an upset a 5-8 team could host a second game. Coffman was the 6 seed and host a firs round game and was scheduled to play the 3 seed, but the 3 seed was upset by the 14 seed. This made a second round game between the 6 seed and 14 seed which the 6 seed hosted in the second round. So again, any team seeded 1-8 could get a chance to host two games depending on first round results.

#12 Lexington 28 #5 Maumee 14 Maumee was over ranked from the start. It did not take long to see that their easy schedule was the reason for their seeding. Which sparks a question since we now take 16 teams in a region, would you rather be a 8-2 team with a safe schedule and host a game OR would you like to be the team going 5-5 with an aggressive schedule that puts you at a 13 seed? Since a team cannot control their conference we are talking about may 3 games.

3 nice wins for the OCC last night. I thought New Philly was going to make it a clean sweep but came up just short. The OCC football season rolls on!

Normally I wouldn't call Lexington's football scheduling aggressive, but with Ontario at 10-1 and Shelby 11-0 it worked out for them in the long run. Not to mention Clear Fork did make the playoffs and hung with Ontario for 2 1/2 quarters. Top half of the OCC has proven they were relatively strong taking 3 of 4 playoff games last night. Plus Dover won last night.
It looks like early returns show Lex as a favorite against Rocky River.
Mansfield Senior is what I would consider aggressive scheduling with scheduling teams like Akron St Vincent St Mary and Cleveland St Joe's. Not to mention Massillon in the past.
Now Maumee is kind of a victim of their conference this year. Several smaller division schools. Rocky River has not beaten a team with a winning record.
Ashland hosting Columbus DeSales is very interesting to me. Could be a tough out for the Arrows.

When a normal season is 3-7 or 4-6, scheduling a team 10-1, 11-0 or a traditionally strong Clear Fork is aggressive.

I'll give you Shelby but how many times is Ontario 11-1. Plus to me they are traditional rivals that Lex has played for decades. There has been a few times that Lex has been aggressive in non conference scheduling. When the played Olentangy and North Canton Hoover. Now in basketball Lex always schedules some bigger and skilled opponents, ie Ottawa-Glandorf, Gahanna Lincoln, Cincinnati Elder ect.

I cannot say Ontario has ever been 11-1 and they aren't now, but I can tell you they have beat Lex 3 years in a row and Lex keeps playing them. They didn't drop and pick up a guaranteed win like some schools do. Those days were back when points were needed to make the playoffs. Now winning 4 games can get you in.

Now come on a little typo, I meant 10-1. And Lex wouldn't have dropped them even if the points were more important in a 8 team format. The only time Lex did play Ontario was in the BJ Payne era when they tried to beef up their schedule a little by playing Mount Vernon a larger school before the Yellow Jackets temporarily joined the OCC. Ontario has a really nice cycle of talent coming through right now and looks to be pretty strong for at least the next 2-3 years anyways. 😀

Isn't tat what was being discussed, scheduling strong teams.

They also dropped because they had stronger teams coming up at the time.

You are correct they were a bigger school and they were probably a bit stronger at the time than Ontario. But Lex was thought to be stronger also. At least that may have the thoughts of Payne and the other coaches at the time. They also picked up North Canton Hoover during those years as well.

At least that may have the thoughts of Payne and the other coaches at the time. They also picked up North Canton Hoover during those years as well. The 3 season prior to playing Lexington, the Mt Vernon program was 1-29. During that same time Ontario was 12-18. They picked up Hoover to replace Willard the year after Mt Vernon.

Thanks for fact checking me again. What are you an ABC News moderator? I apologize for not going back on Joe Eitel and studying the schedules and the record of the teams in question. 😵💫

I believe when Valentine was head coach. Ontario was 10-0 in the regular season. In the postseason they beat RV then lost to Margaretta.
